Torque Calculator

This document provides information and formulas for calculating clamp load and tightening torque when using Nord-Lock washers. It includes charts specifying thread and washer friction coefficients based on lubrication, as well as yield points for common bolt grades. The user inputs bolt parameters like size, grade, and contact areas to determine the appropriate coefficients and yield point to calculate clamp load and tightening torque.
