ARIEL BOLTING REQUIRED TIGHTENING TORQUE

CAUTION
Bolting has been selected that will meet the strength, elongation, locking features and mechanical clearance required. The
proper bolting must be used and tightened to the torque values listed. Threads are to be clean and free of burrs. Use
petroleum lubricating oil or Lubriplate 630 on threads and seating surfaces, except for compressor piston rod piston-nuts &
crosshead nuts; JGB/JGV main bearing cap stud-nuts; and stainless steel cap screws use Never Seez, and except where
Loctite is specified. These torque values are for current production equipment, for older units which have lower torque
values specified do not assume higher values without consulting packager and/or Ariel. See Ariel Technical Manuals for
tightening torque procedure details.
