    Torque-Tension Chart For A307 Gr5 Gr8 Gr9

    Uploaded by

    Krish Doodnauth
    This document provides torque values for tightening various bolt sizes made of ASTM A307 Grade A, SAE J429 Grade 5, SAE J429 Grade 8, and FNL Grade 9. It lists the nominal diameter, area, clamp load, and recommended tightening torques for bolts ranging in size from 1/4 inch to 1-1/2 inches under lubricated, zinc plated/dry, and plain/dry conditions. The torque values are calculated using a formula that considers the nominal diameter, clamp load, and a coefficient that depends on the lubrication conditions. It cautions that torque is an indirect measure of tension and that under/over tightening can cause failures or injuries.

    The torque values can only be achieved if nut (or tapped hole) has a proof load greater than or equal to the bolt's minimum ultimate tensile strength.
    Clamp load calculated as 75% of the proof load when specified by the standard. ASTM A307 utilized 75% of 36,000 PSI.
    Torque values for 1/4 and 5/16-in series are in inch-pounds. All other torque values are in foot-pounds.
    Torque values calculated from formula T=KDF, where
    K = 0.15 for "lubricated" conditions
    K = 0.17 for zinc plated and dry conditions; we have also found various forms of customer applied thread lockers to have a similar K value.
    K = 0.20 for plain and dry conditions
    D = Nominal Diameter
    F = Clamp Load
    Note: When using Zinc Plated (lubricated with wax) Top Lock Nuts, the K value can vary between 0.12-0.16
    Caution: All material included in this chart is advisory only, and its use by anyone is voluntary. In developing this information, Fastenal has made a determined effort to present its contents accurately.
    Extreme caution should be used when using a formula for torque/tension relationships. Torque is only an indirect indication of tension. Under/over tightening of fasteners can result in costly equipment
    failure or personal injury.
