Torque Values

This document provides torque values for low-alloy steel bolting used in flange joints. It includes a table listing recommended torque values in foot-pounds for bolted connections with stud bolt sizes ranging from 1/2 to 4 inches in diameter, along with notes on calculating torque values. The torque values are based on a 50,000 psi prestress and different friction factors are specified for coated versus noncoated bolts. The notes also address adjusting torque values for other bolt materials.

Notes:
1) Torque values are based on 50,000 psi prestress on stud bolts and Friction Factor of 0.16 for
noncoated surfaces and 0.12 for new coated surfaces. A combination of various elements such
as the conditions of the threads, the condition of the flange to the nut bearing surface and the
type of lubricant used, makes up the friction factor which can vary from .04 to .20 or as much as
500%.
2) Torque values for stainless steel or other alloy stud bolts can be obtained by multiplying the
ratio of the specified minimum yield strength (SMYS) of stainless steel stud bolts to A193 B7
stud bolts, to the torque values in the Table-SAEP-351-02. The SMYS values for all bolting
materials are listed in ASME B31.3 code (Note: SMYS depends on grade, class and size).
