1 SCOPE AND FIELD OF APPLICATION
This standard specifies for threaded joints values for:

– tightening torque's and the resulting pre-loads.
– the US elongation for verification and control of the process (in function of the nominal diameter of
thread of the flange bolt and the grip length).
2 GENERAL
The regulations in this standard are based on measurements performed at DAF and on calculations based
on the German industry standard VDI 2230-1. The threaded joints are sub-divided according to the control
method and the accuracy of tightening, into joint classes A, B and E.
Joint class B is the standard joint class (it shall be the first choice).
Joint class E shall not be used for new designs.
When performing the verification calculation for a bolt joint, consideration must be given to the fact that the
values for the pre-load in this standard do not include possible settling losses.

4 VALIDITY
On drawings with a release date before April 1st 1998 the joint classes C and D can be specified.
These are expired per April 1st 1998. If C and D are still included on a drawing, the values from joint class B
must be used for joint class C and the values from joint class E must be used for joint class D.
5 JOINT CLASSES
5.1 Joint class A

Joint class A is used for joints in which the bolt is tightened to the yield point. This can be done by means of
yield-controlled assembly or by means of torque + angle-controlled assembly.
The US elongation must be used for validation and monitoring of the process.
Special tooling is required for yield-controlled assembly. If no special tooling is available for yield-controlled
tightening, angle controlled tightening should be done. This means that from a tightening torque for joint
class B a prescribed tightening angle ∆α is tightened.
5.2 Joint class B

This is the standard joint class for threaded joints (first choice).
A torque-controlled assembly process is used.
To validate and monitor the process, the retightening torque is measured. Additionally the ultrasonic
elongation can be used for validation of the screw joint (friction properties, settlement losses).
The assembly angle can be measured as extra process control.
Class B is per definition a torque controlled process. The resulting clamping force is greatly dependent on the
friction coefficients in the screw joint (between bolt head c.q. nut and mounting surface and the friction
coefficient in the thread.). The ultrasonic elongation gives a good indication of the clamping force and is as
such the only possible way to check whether the friction properties are in line with the expectation.
5.3 Joint class E

Do not use joint class E for new designs.
Drawings with a release date before the publication date of issue 12 of DAF standard TKB 00804-203 may
bear a reference to joint class E. In this case, the tightening torques in Table 7 of TKB 00804-203 issue 12 or
higher apply for banjo bolts. For all other threaded joints, it means that no tightening torque is prescribed on
the drawing.

() Metric fine, not standard at DAF.
1) The guideline for the tightening torque is included here for the purpose of selecting the appropriate
tool. The minimum and maximum values are calculated for flange bolt/nut, friction coefficient of 0,8 to
0,16 and tolerance band for the yield point of the bolt material of 940 - 1080 N/mm2.
2) The lower value Fv01 is calculated (plastic calculation) using the following boundary conditions:
nominal thread sizes, screw thread friction 0,16 and yield point of the bolt material 940 N/mm2.
Fv01 when using 1 bolt per joint.
Fv02 = 1,07x Fv01 when using 2 or more bolts per joint.
3) The upper value is calculated (plastic calculation) using the following boundary conditions: nominal
thread sizes, screw thread friction 0,08 and yield point of the bolt material 1080 N/mm2.
4) Always make sure that the permissible surface pressure (see VDI 2230-1, Table A9) in the joint is not
exceeded at this pre-load.
5) This is the pre-load that does not take possible settling losses into account. (Because the degree of
settling loss is dependent on the joint (clamping length, paint etc.), it is not possible to apply one value
to it).

Note: Optionally, the final torque can be monitored for extra process control (use the indication of the tightening torque
in this table as process window).
1) For the pre-load for property class 10.9, see Table 1A. For the pre-load for property class 8.8, contact the DAF
Central Laboratory.
2) The tightening torques in this column are only applicable for initial assembly and must be applied for threaded
joints with flange bolts according to DAF standard PROD 9257 and flange nuts according to DAF standard PROD
9204 if the mounting surface to which they are being tightened is painted with one of the following paints: DAF
standard LAK 60009, LAK 60020, LAK 60100, LAK 60110 or LAK 671xx until 679xx.
3) The angle in this table is applicable for bolts according DAF standard PROD 9257 or those derived therefrom and
only for hard joints (metal to metal) (The parts must be clamped to one another before starting the angle
measurement.).
Deviation from the tightening torques and angles specified in this table is permitted, provided that:
I. It has been verified that the requirement for US elongation is met by measuring the original joint.
II. It has been agreed with the responsible department within PD. Tightening torque and angle shall be
established on drawing.
Deviations from the table must meet at least the following conditions:
- The tightening torque Ma is sufficiently high to ensure that the parts in the joint are securely clamped to one
another when commencing angle measurement. Guideline: Ma > 0,5 x Ma according to Table 1B.
- Torque + angle are such that the yield point is exceeded.
- The ultrasonic elongation meets the requirement in Graph 1.
4) Since the clamping length is difficult to determine in many joints, it is decided to use the shaft length of the bolt as
the criterion. In practice, this is a sufficiently accurate approximation provided that the difference between the
clamping length and shaft length is not greater than 2,5 x d.
5) Friction level L. Clamping force: 133 – 175 kN.

US elongation for joint class A, see Graph 1
The lines in the Graph show the lower specification limit (LSL) for the ultrasonic elongation for joint class A.
Upper limit (USL) for the ultrasonic elongation is specified as follows:
USL = ∆LUS,max = LSL x 2 for clamping length 1 x d up to and including 2 x d.
USL = ∆LUS,max = LSL x 1,5 for clamping length > 2 x d.

( ) Metric fine, not standard at DAF.
1) The values for the pre-load Fvo1 and Fvb are calculated for a friction window from 0,08 to 0,16 and for the
minimum and maximum tightening torque (taking into account the tolerances for the tightening torque).
Note that in the Fv in this table settling losses are not taken into account.
2) If 1 bolt per joint is applied Fvo1. This is the pre-load when the friction is at its maximum (0,16) and the tightening
torque is at a minimum (Ma,nom – tolerance).
If 2 bolts or more per joint are applied Fvo2 = 1,1 x Fvo1.
3) Fvb is the pre-load when the friction coefficient is minimal (0,08) and the tightening torque maximum (Ma,nom +
tolerance). Fvb < yield point of the bolt.
4) The tightening torques in this column are only applicable for initial assembly and must be used for threaded joints
with flange bolts according to DAF standard PROD 9257 and flange nuts according to DAF standard PROD 9204 if
the mounting surface is painted with one of the following paints: DAF standard LAK 60009, LAK 60020,
LAK 60100, LAK 60110 or LAK 671xx until 679xx.
5) The tightening torque is leading. Deviating tightening torques must be specified on drawing.
Validation of the tightening torque has to be done by means of US measurement according DAF standard
KEUR 00820-196. See Table 2B for the values of the US elongation.
6) Bolts with locking compound:
Apply the standard torque according to this table.
Deviating friction properties caused by the locking compound can be a reason to specify a different torque. Tests
have to be done to determine the torque. A torque deviating from this table must always be specified on drawing.

1) Fvo is the pre-load with a maximum friction coefficient (0,2 for friction level M and 0,14 for friction level L), the
standard hexagon head and the minimum torque in this Table.
2) Fvb is the pre-load with a minimum friction coefficient (0,12 for friction level M and 0,08 for friction level L), the
3) Only M18 x 2,5 and M20 x 2,5 bolts and nuts from DAF standards PROD 9206 and PROD 9266 have a friction
conditioner with friction level L (friction coefficient 0,09–0,14) applied to them. The tightening torque is adapted to
the low friction. For these products, a minimum friction coefficient of 0,08 and a maximum friction coefficient of
0,14 are used for calculations.
4) Bolts with locking compound
have to be done to determine the torque. A torque deviating from this Table must be specified on drawing. See
also the explanation in section 10.

1) The tightening torques are applicable for banjo bolts with surface treatment W+O 00/230 in combination with a
bonded seal or copper sealing washer. The tightening torques are selected such that the bolt will not fail. If one of
the other components in the joint (banjo, sealing ring or internal screw thread in the counterpart) is the weakest part
in the joint, the tightening torque must be adjusted for this and specified on the drawing.
2) For service, this tightening torque is also applicable for zinc plated banjo bolts containing Cr6, provided the screw
thread and bolt head are oiled before assembly.
3) These values are applicable for banjo bolts with 3 radial holes in accordance with DIN 7643. For banjo bolts with 4
radial holes, the tightening torque must be determined in consultation with the DAF Central Laboratory.

1) The tightening torques and upper value of the pre-loads are calculated for a friction coefficient of 0,1 with
standard hexagon bolts or hexagon nuts. The 0,1 is the minimum friction coefficient that can be expected
at lubricated joints.
This means:
− This tightening torque can be applied without risk of failure of the bolt, screw or nut.
− For lubricated joints can be calculated with a Fvo (at Ma according Table) of approximately 0,5 x Fvb.
− Fvo of non-lubricated joints can be significantly lower because this type of steel has relatively high
friction. If necessary adjust the tightening torque. The values to be determined on the basis of
measurements in consultation with the central laboratory.
Note:
A2 and A4 are austenitic stainless steels. This type of steels has a greater tendency to galling (cold welding) than
normal type of steels. The risk to galling is limited when the thread of both bolt and screw is rolled.
The risk to galling can be limited by the following measures:
− Clean products, free of burrs, chips, sand and suchlike.
− Sufficient margin in the thread (6g/6H).
− Tighten with low tightening speed and do not tighten with impact wrenches.
− Hard joints behave better than soft / elastic joints.

7 CHECK METHOD PRE-LOADS AND TIGHTENING TORQUES
7.1 Pre-loads
Pre-loads in threaded joints class A and B shall be checked by ultrasonic elongation measuring according to
DAF standard KEUR 00820-196.
At the DAF Central Laboratory, the pre-load in a threaded joint can be measured directly as a function of the
tightening torque. See DAF standard KEUR 00820-197 for details of the test method. Using the same test
set-up, the elongation curve (pre-load as a function of the US elongation) of a bolt can be measured.
7.2 Tightening torques

Tightening torques in joint class B have to be checked by means of retightening.
See DAF standard KEP 00180-003 for the test method and requirement.
It is not possible to check the quality of a joint class A using the retightening torque. However, a lower limit
for the retightening torque at which no rotation occurs is used for process monitoring purposes. For the test
method and requirement, see DAF standard KEP 00180-003.
Please note:
For bolts with locking compound in joint class B, it is allowed to check the tightening torque by
means of retightening (same method as is applied for joint class A, see DAF standard KEP 00180-
003) but with following footnotes:
1. In case the bolt rotates during retightening, the bolt has to be replaced by a new bolt;
alternatively the locking can be restored by the application of a wet adhesive on the screw
thread.
2. In case the bolt doesn’t rotate during retightening, this is not a guarantee that the bolt was
assembled with the correct torque because the adhesive was in the time period between
assembly and inspection partly or completely cured.
8 INDICATION ON DRAWING
The generally applied joint class must be indicated in a note in the text field of the drawing. In this note
eventually deviating joint classes must be placed between brackets (see Figure 1).
For example:
Tightening torque according to DAF standard TKB 00804-203 joint class A (B)
If deviating values or joint classes must be specified, supplementary information MUST be written near the
item number indication (see Figure 1).
The following methods can be used:
− inscribing of a joint class other than the standard applied joint class, hereby the supplementary
information is the applicable joint class A or B.
− inscribing of all data necessary for the joint, for example tightening torque, tightening torque and
tightening angle or for example ultrasonic elongation (optionally with the pre-load, for information).
This only in consultation with DAF Central Laboratory.
Modification of a threaded joint on the assembly drawing, such as the tightening torque, pre-load, joint class,
etc., must be effectuated by means of a drawing modification number.

10 EXPLANATION FOR INFORMATION
In this section some background information about bolt connections and the difference between joint class A
and B is given.
General
In a bolt connection the largest part of the energy required to tighten the bolt / create pre-load is necessary to
overcome the friction. This is shown graphically in Figure 2.
Figure 2: Friction; 90 % of the assembly torque is dissipated by the friction in the screw joint.
Only 10 % of the torque is converted to pre-load.
In Figure 3 a typical tightening curve is drawn in the torque-angle diagram. This shows in which part of the
tightening curve joint class A and joint class B are.
With joint class B, the aim is to achieve the highest possible pre-load, but the yield point of the bolt must not
be exceeded.
With joint class A, the process is aimed at tightening up to just beyond the yield point. At the same time,
sufficient margin must remain until the start of local necking.
Figure 3: Joint class B (only elastic deformation);

Joint class A (elastic + plastic deformation)

Figure 4 shows the relationship between pre-load and tightening torque as a function of the friction
coefficient. It is also indicated where joint class B and where class joint A is in this Graph.
For joint class B, the variation in pre-load is largely determined by the variation in friction.
For joint class A the variation in pre-load is considerably smaller compared to joint class B. The variation is
mainly caused by variation in the yield strength of the bolt material and for a smaller part by variation in the
thread friction coefficient. The head friction doesn’t influence the pre-load at all but it does influence the
assembly torque.
Figure 4: Assembly torque and pre-load for M 16 10.9 flange screw for friction window 0,08 – 0,16;
Joint class B  friction variation causes large variation in pre-load.
Joint class A friction variation causes large variation in assembly torque.
Joint class A
Graph 1:
1. In the case of elongations that are greater than the USL, there is the risk that the bolt starts necking.
2. The same bolt shall not be tightened class A more than 2 times at the assembly plant. In service
always a new bolt shall be applied for class A screw joints or check the quality of the bolt by
assembling a nut, by hand, over the complete thread length of the bolt before assembly. If this can’t
be done by hand then it is an indication that the plastic elongation of the bolt is already too high. The
bolt has to be replaced by a new bolt.
3. Especially in screw joints with small clamping length considerable settling loss can occur (loss of
clamping force), for example when multiple paint layers are clamped. The pre-load and thus the US-
elongation, may fall below the minimum value as per Table 1A and Graph 1. In case the US
elongation is below the minimum value and this is caused by settlement, it is not allowed to increase
the US-elongation by giving an extra angle after yield. The extra angle will cause more plastic
elongation of the bolt but hardly extra clamping force. The US elongation may be good but still the
clamping force is too low (because of the plastic elongation the loss of clamping force is not reflected
in the US elongation).
4. LSL = ∆LUS,min = Fvo1 x δbolt;
δbolt = the ultrasonic elasticity of the bolt [US mm/kN] and
Fvo1 = the minimum pre-load in accordance with Table 1A.
To calculate the ultrasonic stiffness of the bolt, it is assumed that the shaft length of the bolt is equal
to: clamping length + 1,5 x d (this is of importance for bolts with shaft without thread). Furthermore it
is calculated with bolts according DAF standard PROD 9257. In case class A is applied to bolts
deviating from the DAF standard PROD 9257 then the US-elongation can deviate from the value in
the Graph. Especially the shaft diameter without thread, the length of the shaft without thread and
the thread pitch determine the bolt stiffness.
Joint class B
Table 2A
The window for the friction coefficient in this calculation is broader than the requirement in the W+O
standards because, in practice, mounting takes place on a wide variety of substrates. The requirement in the
W+O standards applies to assembly on well-defined mounting surface of bare steel.
A torque-controlled assembly process is used. The resulting Fv is dependent on the friction coefficient
between bolthead c.q. nut and mounting surface and the friction coefficient in the thread. The main cause for
variation of the Fv is the variation of the friction in the screw joint.
Bolts with locking compound

Bolts with locking compound have different friction properties compared to bolts without locking compound.
Generally, the friction is higher than for the same bolt without locking compound. This means that, in
practice, the torque for joint class B is permissible with regard to the strength of bolt and nut. When applying
the standard torque for joint class B, a lower pre-load than in the tables in this standard has to be taken into
account. How much lower this pre-load is depends on the application. This can be compensated by using a
higher tightening torque. The degree of required compensation depends on the locking compound, the
surface treatment and the application (mounting surface, threaded hole or nut etc.). A deviating assembly
torque has to be determined in representative test joints. For more information contact DAF Central
Laboratory Metal Technology.
Ultrasonic elongation for class 2B

Not for all class B screw joints the US-elongation is measured. For heavy loaded joints it is done to validate
the friction for a new screw joint.
Settling loss is not taken into account in this minimum value for US-elongation. The elongation can be below
this minimum due to settling loss, but also due to the type of joint or the assembly process. If applicable, this
must be specified on the drawing.
The measurement uncertainty in the ultrasonic measurement is in the order of magnitude of +/-0,03 USmm.
This means that the smaller the grip length is, the larger the relative measurement uncertainty becomes. The
measurement uncertainty increases to 20% of the measured value at a grip length of 1xd.
The relation between tightening torque and pre-load is validated at the central laboratory on mounting
surfaces of bare steel and painted steel. The paints tested are: DAF LAK 60009, LAK 60020, LAK 60100 or
LAK 60110. The test is executed on a standard screw joint with low assembly speed (10-20rpm). This speed
is not representative for the assembly speed in the factory but the friction data generated are suitable as
base for this TKB.
The type of screw joint on the truck (hard or soft, little or much settlement, high or low friction) and the
assembly process (pulse tool or DC-tool, assembly speed, assembly strategy) can influence the pre-load
remaining after the assembly process is stopped. Because of all these parameters the prediction the pre-
load for joint class B is less accurate than for joint class A. This is taken into account by selecting a large
difference between Fvo and Fvb in Table 2A. (Tightening factor α = 2 is applied).
In the DAF standards bolts and nuts with a friction conditioner are specified. In case no friction conditioner is
used the variation in friction is larger. That causes increase of the tightening factor. The maximum clamping
force is limited by the yield strength of the bolt. Consequence is that the minimum clamping force decreases.
The ultrasonic elongation is measured some time after the assembly process is completed. During this time,
settlement takes place, causing the pre-load and thus the US elongation to decrease. The degree of
settlement depends on the joint and also on the assembly process. In Table 2B this settlement is not taken
into account. Settlement can lead to a lower US elongation than the minimum requirement particularly in the
case of a small clamping length and multiple paint layers in the joint. It is not possible to express the
settlement in a number of USmm that is generally valid. If it turns out that the ultrasonic elongation deviates
from the minimum requirement, follow-up action must be agreed upon in the SE meeting.
Measures can be a re-design, a deviation of the tightening torque, a deviation of the requirement for the US-
elongation, a different type of tool or an adapted tightening strategy. Deviations of Table 2A for the torque or
Table 2B for the US elongation shall be specified on the drawing.

There may be aspects to a joint that make it desirable to validate the pre-load. Assessment of this need must
be part of the development process and it must be agreed upon in the SE team meeting.
Aspects that may make validation of the pre-load by means of a measurement of the ultrasonic elongation
necessary or desirable include:
− The type of joint (material, bolt pattern etc.).
− Stiffness of the joint (for example extremely soft joints or joints in which the components have to be
pulled against each other under high stress, during the assembly of the bolt or nut).
− A mounting surface coated with a primer or paint about which the friction data is not known.
− Type of tightening tool.
− Settling loss, for example, in the case of a small clamping length in combination with several layers of
paint.
− Soft materials, rough surfaces.
− Tightening speed.
− Combinations of the above aspects.
Notes
Monitoring the tightening angle during assembly is an additional possibility to verify the process in a class B
screw joint. The tightening angle is measured from a predetermined tightening torque which lies beyond the
non-linear beginning of the torque-angle curve and where the gap between the components is zero.
The DAF W+O standards include a requirement for the friction coefficient for bolts and nuts. This is a
reference test for which the friction is measured on bare steel. This requirement is for the purpose of process
control at the Supplier’s and for the incoming goods inspection at DAF. The friction coefficient in the
application on the truck may differ from the value measured in the reference test. Therefore, the friction on
various paints and primers is also measured at the DAF Central Laboratory in order to validate the pre-loads
(for joint class B) and the indication torque values (for joint class A) as they are listed in this standard.

Title Pre-loads and tightening torques for threaded joints
Changed to:
Pre-loads, tightening torques and ultrasonic elongations for threaded joints

1 This standard specifies for threaded joints values for:
– the US elongation, in function of the nominal diameter of thread and the grip length
for verification and control of the process.
Changed to:
This standard specifies for threaded joints values for:

– the US elongation for verification and control of the process (in function of the
nominal diameter of thread of the flange bolt and the grip length.
2 The data in this standard are based on own measurements and experience with
coefficients of friction and on VDI Richtlinie 2230. The threaded joints are sub-divided
according to control method and the accuracy of tightening into joint classes A, B and E.
Joint class B is the standard class.
Changed to:
The regulations in this standard are based on measurements performed at DAF and on
calculations based on the German industry standard VDI 2230-1. The threaded joints are
sub-divided according to the control method and the accuracy of tightening into joint
classes A, B and E.
Joint class B is the standard joint class (it shall be the first choice)
Joint class E shall not be used for new designs.
When performing the verification calculation for a bolt joint, consideration must be given to
the fact that the values for the pre-load in this standard do not include possible settling
losses.
3 Section terms and definitions added.
4 The values for joint classes A, B and E within this standard are valid starting from 1 April
1998.
On drawings with a release date before 1 April 1998 the joint classes C and D can be
specified.
The valid joint classes starting from 1 April 1998 are:
− joint class A;
− joint class B, this class replaces the former joint classes B and C;
− joint class E, this class replaces the former joint classes D and E.
If tightening torque's will be prescribed on drawings according:

− joint class C, values according to joint class B must be used;
− joint class D, values according to joint class E must be used.
Changed to:
On drawings with a release date before April 1st 1998 the joint classes C and D can be
specified. These are expired per April 1st 1998. If C and D are still included on a drawing,
the values from joint class B must be used for joint class C and the values from joint class
E must be used for joint class D.


12 September 5.1 Joint class A will be applied for yield- and tightening angle controlled joints. Table 1A
2018 gives the lower and upper pre-loads and indication for the tightening torque's for flange
bolts and flange nuts with property class 10.9 and 10.
If mounted joints tightened according class A that deviate from this property class, this
must be specific mentioned on the drawing.
If no special tooling is available for yield controlled tightening according table 1A, angle
controlled tightening should be done with a torque joint class B + a dictated tightening
angle ∆α according table 1B.
Changed to:
Joint class A is used for joints in which the bolt is tightened to the yield point. This can be
done by means of yield-controlled assembly or by means of torque + angle-controlled
assembly.
The US elongation must be used for validation and monitoring of the process.
Special tooling is required for yield controlled assembly. If no special tooling is available
for yield controlled tightening, angle controlled tightening should be done. This means that
from a tightening torque for joint class B a prescribed tightening angle ∆α is tightened.
Deleted:
Table 1C establishes lower and upper values of the US elongation as function of the
nominal diameter of thread of the flange bolt and the grip length. Table 1C is only
applicable for flange bolts according to DAF standard PROD 9257 with the nominal
diameters of thread M12, M14 and M16 for verification and control of the process.
5.2 This is the standard joint class for threaded joints. See for the prescribed tightening
torque's and the resulting pre-load scatter for:
− mounted joints with property class 10.9 and 10: table 2. Special and/or drawn
products: table 3;
− mounted joints with property class 8.8 and 8: table 4;
− smooth flange bolts property class 12.9 and flange nuts property class 12: table 5;
− spring, flange bolts property class 12.9 and spring flange nuts property class 12:
table 6.
− Bolts, screws and nuts of stainless steel according DAF standard MAT
06000/06249 material specification number 06220 (A2-70) and 06225 (A4-80): see
table 8.
Table 2B establishes lower and upper values of the US elongation as function of the
nominal diameter of thread of the flange bolt and the grip length. Table 2B is only
applicable for flange bolts according to DAF standard PROD 9257 with the nominal
diameters of thread M12, M14 and M16 for verification and control of the process.
Changed to:
This is the standard joint class for threaded joints (first choice).
A torque-controlled assembly process is used.
To validate and monitor the process, the retightening torque is measured. Additionally the
ultrasonic elongation can be used for validation of the screw joint (friction properties,
settlement losses).
The assembly angle can be measured as extra process control.
Class B is per definition a torque controlled process. The resulting clamping force is
greatly dependent on the friction coefficients in the screw joint (between bolt head c.q. nut
and mounting surface and the friction coefficient in the thread.) The ultrasonic elongation
gives a good indication of the clamping force and is as such the only possible way to
check whether the friction properties are in line with the expectation.


12 September 5.3 Joint class E will be applied for mounted joints for which no tightening torque's are
2018 specified on the drawing. Mounted joints class E are tightened to own practical opinion or
experience of the assembly location. The values of the tightening torque's mentioned in
table 7 are applicable for banjo bolts only.
The indication joint class E is also valid for the so-called holding joints. This is an
indication for bolts and screws by which in general the cabin equipment will be mounted.
For holding joints no tightening torque is specified.
Changed to:
Do not use joint class E for new designs.

Drawings with a release date before the publication date of issue 12 of DAF standard TKB
00804-203 may bear a reference to joint class E. In this case, the tightening torques in
Table 7 of TKB 00804-203 issue 12 or higher apply for banjo bolts. For all other threaded
joints, it means that no tightening torque is prescribed on the drawing.

1) The guideline for the tightening torque is included here for the purpose of selecting the appropriate tool.
The minimum and maximum values are calculated for flange bolt/nut, friction coefficient of 0,8 to 0,16
and tolerance band for the yield point of the bolt material of 940 - 1080 N/mm2.
2) The lower value Fv01 is calculated (plastic calculation) using the following boundary conditions: nominal
Fv01 when using 1 bolt per joint.
Fv02 = 1,07 x Fv01 when using 2 or more bolts per joint
3) The upper value is calculated (plastic calculation) using the following boundary conditions: nominal
4) Always make sure that the permissible surface pressure (see VDI 2230-1, Table A9) in the joint is not
exceeded at this pre-load.
5) This is the pre-load that does not take possible settling losses into account. (Because the degree of
settling loss is dependent on the joint (clamping length, paint etc.), it is not possible to apply one value
to it).

joints with flange bolts according to DAF standard PROD 9257 and flange nuts according to DAF standard PROD
9204 if the mounting surface to which they are being tightened is painted with one of the following paints: DAF
standard LAK 60009, LAK 60020, LAK 60100 or LAK 60110.
3) The angle in this table is applicable for bolts according DAF standard PROD 9257 or those derived therefrom and
only for hard joints (metal to metal) (The parts must be clamped to one another before starting the angle
measurement.).
Deviation from the tightening torques and angles specified in this Table is permitted, provided that:
I. It has been verified that the requirement for US elongation is met by measuring the original joint.
II. It has been agreed with the responsible department within PD. Tightening torque and angle shall be
established on drawing.
Deviations from the table must meet at least the following conditions:
- The tightening torque Ma is sufficiently high to ensure that the parts in the joint are securely clamped to one
another when commencing angle measurement. Guideline: Ma > 0,5 x Ma according to Table 1B.
- Torque + angle are such that the yield point is exceeded.
- The ultrasonic elongation meets the requirement in Graph 1.
4) Since the clamping length is difficult to determine in many joints, is decided to use the shaft length of the bolt as
the criterion. In practice, this is a sufficiently accurate approximation provided that the difference between the
clamping length and shaft length is not greater than 2,5 x d.
5) Friction level L. Clamping force: 133 – 175 kN.

3) Only M18 x 2,5 and M20 x 2,5 bolts and nuts from DAF standards PROD 9206 and PROD 9266 have a friction
conditioner with friction level L (friction coefficient 0,09–0,14) applied to them. The tightening torque is adapted
to the low friction. For these products, a minimum friction coefficient of 0,08 and a maximum friction coefficient
of 0,14 are used for calculations.
4) Bolts with locking compound
Deviating friction properties caused by the locking compound can be a reason to specify a different torque.
Tests have to be done to determine the torque. A torque deviating from this Table must be specified on
drawing. See also the explanation in section 10.

1) The tightening torques are applicable for banjo bolts with surface treatment W+O 00/230 in combination with a
bonded seal or copper sealing washer. The tightening torques are selected such that the bolt will not fail. If one
of the other components in the joint (banjo, sealing ring or internal screw thread in the counterpart) is the
weakest part in the joint, the tightening torque must be adjusted for this.
2) For service, this tightening torque is also applicable for galvanised banjo bolts containing Cr6, provided the
screw thread and bolt head are oiled before assembly.
3) These values are applicable for banjo bolts with 3 radial holes in accordance with DIN 7643. For banjo bolts
with 4 radial holes, the tightening torque must be determined in consultation with the DAF Central Laboratory.
4) Drawings with a release date before the publication date of issue 12 of DAF standard TKB 00804-203 may
bear a reference to joint class E. In this case, the tightening torques in this Table apply to banjo bolts.

Changed to:
Pre-loads in threaded joints class A and B shall be checked by ultrasonic elongation measuring according to
DAF standard KEUR 00820-196.
At the DAF Central Laboratory, the pre-load in a threaded joint can be measured directly as a function of the tightening
torque. See DAF standard KEUR 00820-197 for details of the test method. Using the same test set-up, the elongation
curve (pre-load as a function of the US elongation) of a bolt can be measured.

2018 Changed to:
See DAF standard KEP 00180-003 for the test method and requirement.
Added:
It is not possible to check the quality of a joint class A using the retightening torque. However, a lower limit for the
retightening torque at which no rotation occurs is used for process monitoring purposes. For the test method and
requirement, see DAF standard KEP 00180-003.
Please note:
For bolts with locking compound in joint class B, it is allowed to check the tightening torque by means of
retightening but with following footnotes:
1. In case the bolt rotates during retightening, the bolt has to be replaced by a new bolt;
alternatively the locking can be restored by the application of a wet adhesive on the screw
thread.
2. In case the bolt doesn’t rotate during retightening, this is not a guarantee that the bolt was
assembled with the correct torque because the adhesive was in the time period between
assembly and inspection partly or completely cured.
