    This document discusses equations for calculating torque and tensile load in fasteners. It provides the basic torque/tension equation as T = KDF, where T is applied torque, D is screw diameter, F is tensile load, and K is a nut factor that depends on factors like lubrication. It gives an example of how to adjust the torque value when using a lubricated fastener instead of a dry fastener, and provides additional K factors for different substrate materials and thread lockers.

    BASIC TORQUE / TENSION EQUATION

    K Factor [Nut factor]

    T = KDF
    or

    F =T/(KD)
    Where:
    T = Applied Torque [inch-pounds]
    D = Nominal Diameter of Screw
    F = Tensile Load in Fastener
    The Service maunal specifies the torques
    relative to DRY fasteners. For DRY
    uncoated [black oxide] fasteners use K ~
    = .017
    For Torque adjustments due to lubrication...
    D and F will remain unchanged.
    (Same diameter screw, Same tensile load)

    TLube = TOEM X

    KLube
    KOEM

    Example:
    T
    = 130 Ft-lbs (dry)
    OEM
    Using Graphite....
    T
    = 130 (.09/.17)
    Lube
    = 53 Ft-lbs

    (Graphite and oil)

    Additional K Factors
    Substrate:
    Thread Locker
    Steel
    0.14
    Phosphate
    0.11
    Cadmium
    0.13

    K Factor [Nut factor]
