GENERAL TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS/
DEFINITION OF UNITS
SPEC
This chart specifies torque for standard faste-
ners with standard I.S.O. pitch threads. Torque
specifications for special components or assem-
blies are included in the applicable sections of
this book. To avoid warpage, tighten multi-faste-
ner assemblies in a crisscross fashion, in pro-
gressive stages, until full torque is reached.
Unless otherwise specified, torque specifications
call for clean, dry threads. Components should
be at room temperature.
A: Distance across flats
B: Outside thread diameter
