Bolt torque
Hello All.
Can anybody shed a little light on the above, as in a formula for bolt diameter and length versus torque setting for certain bolts.

Try this website and click on the link that says 'try our torque calculator'
It also gives you the basic mathematical formula http://www.rockcrawler.com/techrepor...rque/index.asp Hope this helps Alan

Maximum torque values for metric bolts can be found here http://www.cncexpo.com/MetricBoltTorqueNm.aspx
But value for every bolt is application specific and should be calculated individually.

Some good resources there
 Paul I normally tighten big bolts up until I fart   You could always use my little brothers approach, Tighten them up until they shear, then back them of half a flat

There is always the universal torque setting of "F" tight
