The variables in the torque-tension relationship include lubrication, thread fit, the use of a tension in the bolt. The torque used to tighten a bolt is consumed by overcoming the frictio and washer (about 60%), overcoming the friction between bolt thread and nut threads (ab providing energy to elongate the bolt (about 10%). Tests have indicated that torque-tensio for structural bolts easily vary by as much as 40%.
T = 0.0167 x P x D Where T = torque (foot-pounds) P = bolt tension (pounds) D = bolt diameter (inches)
The value 0.0167, called the nut factor, is a traditional industry average. It can range as low well-lubricated assemblies and can exceed 0.025 for dry or rusty fasteners.
