How often do you do a torque angle to failure test?
A typical range would be six to 24 run-downs.” In a torque-angle to failure test, engineers perform several run-downs, plotting torque vs. angle of rotation, and tightening the fastener until it fails. The goal is to find the yield point of the fastener. Every fastener has a certain amount of elasticity as it is stretched.
What’s the best way to determine a torque specification?
There are two ways to come up with a torque specification: “The right way and the wrong way,” quips David Archer, principal engineer at Peak Innovations Engineering, a consulting firm specializing in bolted joint design and analysis.
How are torque and angle of threaded fasteners measured?
Photo courtesy Univer Technologies Group Aslew of technology is available to ensure threaded fasteners are installed in the correct sequence and at the correct torque and angle. For example, Ingersoll Rand’s QE Series of DC electric tools and IC Series of controllers measure torque with an accuracy of ±0.2 percent and angle to ±1 degree.
What’s the torque range of a bolt head?
The tools come in pistol-grip, inline and angle-head versions, and the series covers a torque range of 0.3 to 400 newton-meters. Of course, even the most accurate tools are only as good as the specifications they’re designed to maintain. A whole lot of engineering work must be done before a socket ever hits a bolt head.
Where can I find the latest torque specs?
Find the most up-to-date torque spec listings in electronic format. FelPro-Only.com is your convenient source for advanced sealing information. It’s the place to learn and share “tricks of the trade,” find proper diagnosis and installation instructions, and enjoy easy access to parts reference.
What should the torque be on a torque table?
Torque specifications are shown either as an exact figure, or a specific range. Follow any special instructions or multi-step directions carefully to assure correct final torque. There may be different specifications for different size bolts, bolts in different positions, tightening bolts in several stages, or a cold engine vs. a warm engine.
Which is the correct torque for a fastener?
* Tightening Torque (in-lbs through M8; M10 & over ft-lbs) METRIC FASTENERS Nominal Size or Basic Screw Dia. Threads per inch Tensile Stress Area (sq. in.) ASTM A574 Clamp Load (lbs) Tightening Torque K = 0.15 K = 0.17 K = 0.20 Coarse Thread Series
Do you need an inch / pound torque driver?
If you are shooting for competition or long range Thar then yes, absolutely get an inch/pound torque driver. But if you can afford one do it anyway. Hunting for most of NZ, tight and then a 1/4 or half turn more.
