5-3.6. Compressor Cylinder Bolting

In many cases, the specific torque values are given in the job-specific Instruction
Manual for each fastener required for compressor cylinder bolting. If the specific torque
value is not given, then use the information in the following tables. Determine the
application and fastener prestress level, and then apply the torque values listed in the
Standard Torque Table.

Table 5-3. Prestress Levels for HOS

Joint Location Fastener Prestress

Cylinder To Outer Head 25,000 psi (1750 kg/cm2)

Cylinder To Valve Cover 25,000 psi (1750 kg/cm2)

Cylinder To Packing 30,000 psi (2100 kg/cm2)

Inlet and Discharge Flange 30,000 psi (2100 kg/cm2)

Cylinder Tie Rod 40,000 psi (2800 kg/cm2)

Clearance Device To Outer Head 25,000 psi (1750 kg/cm2)

Adjust-On-The-Fly VVCP to Outer Head/Cylinder 40,000 psi (2800 kg/cm2)

Note: Always refer to the specific cylinder instructions for your particular unit first for
torqueing requirements; these torque values take precedence over the torques listed in the
manual. If the cylinder instructions are not available, you can use the torques listed within
this manual.

Observe the following when using this Torque Table:

 All information and instructions given under Section 5-3, TIGHTENING

REQUIREMENTS, must be thoroughly reviewed before applying the
specified torque values.

 The torque values are based on a common petroleum type oil lubricant.

 The torque values are applicable to both National Fine and National Course
thread series. Any difference in the torque values because of the thread
series is within the normal variation of the torque wrench accuracy.

 When tightening fasteners that incorporate a self-locking feature, a certain

amount of the applied torque is lost because of the additional friction of the
locking feature. Use a torque wrench to measure the “run-down” torque and
then add it to the listed torque value.
