The document discusses torque calculation and values for bolts of different grades and diameters.

Torque values are calculated based on the net tensile area, proof stress and proof load of the bolt. A factor of 0.15 is considered for lubricated bolts.

Bolt grades 8.8 and 10.9 are mentioned. Grade 8.8 has a proof stress of 450 MPa and grade 10.9 has a proof stress of 622.5 MPa.

Torque Calculation for Bolt

Grade of Bolt = 8.8 Grade

Diameter of Bolt considered = 20 mm


Table 1
Pitch for bolt p = 2.5 mm ISO4017
2011
Net Tensile area Anet mm2 for bolt = pi()/4*(d-0.9382p)2

Anet = pi()/4x(20-0.9382x2.5)2

= 245 mm2

Proof Stress for 8.8 grade bolts = 600 N/mm2 Table 3

for 10.9 grade bolts = 830 N/mm IS1367 Part 3
2002
For calculation of Torque value 75% of proof stress is considered so that the bolts
will not reach yield stress while torquing

Therefore Proof stress for 8.8 grade bolts = 450 N/mm2


for 10.9 grade bolts = 622.5 N/mm2

Therefore Proof Load T = Anet x Proof stress

= 245x 450

= 110250 N

Therefore necessary torque to turn the bolt M = kTD

Value of k = 0.15 for lubricating bolts

M 0.15x110250x20
=
1000

= 331 N-m
