Assumptions:
Use of SAE grade 5 bolts or studs or stronger
No lubricant
Compressed mineral fiber material or similar
Notes:
If lubricant is used on bolts, apply torque reduction factor listed in Lubricant Table.
For best results hardened steel washers should be used on all cast flange bolted connections.
