    The document discusses where torque goes when tightening bolted joints. 45% of torque goes to overcoming friction under the bolt head, 45% goes to overcoming thread friction, and 10% goes to bolt stretch. Graphs show the effects of different thread lubricants, debris in threads, and single versus double torque-turn procedures on clamping force in the bolted joint. Using a double torque-turn procedure results in more consistent clamping force across bolts compared to a single torque-turn.
