    Torque-Tension Relationship For ASTM A193 B7 Bolts and Studs

    Uploaded by

    Siva Krishna Chaudhary
    This document provides specifications for ASTM A193 B7 bolts and studs, including nominal diameters from 1/4" to 2", minimum tensile and yield strengths, estimated shear strengths, and recommended tightening torques. Tightening torques were calculated using the formula T=KDF, where K is the coefficient of friction, D is the nominal diameter, and F is the clamp load. Caution is advised when using formulas for torque-tension relationships as torque only indirectly indicates tension.

    The torque values can only be achieved if nut (or tapped hole) has a proof load greater than or equal to the bolt's minimum ultimate tensile strength.
    Clamp load calculated as 75% of the yield strength for the B7 specified in ASTM A193.
    Torque values calculated from formula T=KDF, where
    Coatings such as Teflon or Xylan offer extremely low coefficients of friction. Often we will experience K values around 0.12 or even lower.
    K = 0.15 for "lubricated" conditions and K = 0.20 for "dry" conditions
    D = Nominal Diameter
    F = Clamp Load
    Tensile and Yield strengths in accordance with ASTM A193
    Minimum ultimate tensile strength: 125,000 PSI (up through 2-1/2") and 115,000 PSI (over 2-1/2 through 4)
    Minimum yield strength: 105,000 PSI (up through 2-1/2") and 95,000 PSI (over 2-1/2 through 4)
    Estimated Shear Strength based off of 60% of minimum tensile strength using the thread root area. It is not part of the ASTM A193 specification.
