Description / Abstract:
This test procedure is intended to provide a quality control
method for checking torque-tension characteristics of
non-prevailing torque-type threaded steel fasteners1/4
through 1 in nominal diameters. Realistically, torque-tension
relationships for specific individual fastener assembly joints will
vary due to the different joint parameters Tests using actual joint
components will be required to determine accurate torque-tension
values for those conditions. For the metric version, see SAE
J174M.
