- | ===== Torque Range ===== | + | |
- | Torque specifications are normally stated within a range and not a specific number. \\ | + | |
- | When the nut on a bolt is tightened; ((Machinery's Handbook 27th Edition dated 2004 pg 1509)) \\ | + | |
- | An initial tensile load is placed on the bolt that must be taken into account in determining it's safe working strength or external load-carrying capacity. \\ | + | |
- | The total load on the bolt theoretically varies from a maximum equal to the sum of the initial and external loads. \\ | + | |
- | (from when the bolt is absolutely rigid and the parts held together are elastic) to a minimum equal to either the initial or external loads, whichever is the greater. \\ | + | |
- | (where the bolt is elastic and the parts held together are absolutely rigid). \\ | + | |
- | No material is absolutely rigid, so in practice the total load values fall somewhere between these maximum and minimum limits. \\ | + | |
- | (depending upon the relative, elasticity of the bolt and joint members) \\ | + | |
- | The range is given to accommodate these factors. \\ | + | |
