Bolt torque comparison table
2025-01-07
In the world of manufacturing, the quality of machined surfaces can significantly impact the performance and reliability of mechanical systems. ID-mounted flange facing machines offer a solution for achieving the high standards required in today's industrial environment. These machines are typically used to machine the internal surfaces of flanges, ensuring that they meet the necessary specificati
German Industrial Standard - Recommended Maximum Torque for Bolts and Nuts

1. The above is the German industrial standard, the torque value in the table is measured when the bolt reaches 70% of the yield limit.
2. It is recommended that the locking torque value is the value in the table x (70~80)%.
For example: M48 8.8 grade bolts locking torque value is: 3920x80% = 3136NM
3. The loosening torque is 1.5~2 times of the locking torque;
For example: the above example of locking torque of 3136NM, then its loosening torque of about 3136x(1.5~2)=4704-6272NM
