The values reported in this document are calculated considering
90% of Rp0,2 (0,2% elongation)
μtot= 0,12 (Average value of total friction coefficient in conventional assembly)
The minimum value to set on the torque wrench is
(for modern screwer)
The reference of the steel classes are
- 4.8 Rp0,2=320 N/mm2
- 8.8 Rp0,2=0 N/mm2
- 10.9 Rp0,2=940 N/mm2
- 90 Rm=900÷1000 N/mm2
