TORQUE-TENSION TEST PROCEDURE FOR STEEL THREADED FASTENERS—INCH SERIES
1998-05-01
HISTORICAL
J174_199805
This test procedure is intended to provide a quality control method for checking torque-tension characteristics of non-prevailing torque-type threaded steel fasteners 1/4 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.
