    19-12 Preloading of Bolts For optimum tension-bolt design, the bolts must be preloaded to a specific amount. Here are charts which quickly give the data you need. Bernie J.

PRELOAD VS AXIAL LOAD RELATIONSHIPS Papal ope fold: 1) You extend the fatigue life, by reducing or eliminating fluctuations in siress. 2) You can design a smaller, Tighter, less costly assembly for a given tensile load. ‘Although other methods have been published for computing the necessary data, the design charts offered here are both accurate and simple to use. They show a direct relationship for the four key factors: bolt diameter, bolt strength, tightening torque, and pre \ load. When any two of these factors Fe400010 'P-2000!b| are given, the charts produce the other two.
