TORQUE TABLE

Tightening Metal Fasteners

When torquing a fastener, select a wrench whose range fits the required torque value. A torque

wrench is most accurate from 25–75% of its stated range. A wrench with a stated range of 0–100 lb-ft.

(0–136 N•m) will be most accurate from 25–75 lb-ft. (34–102 N•m). The accuracy of readings will

decrease as you approach 0 lb-ft. or 100 lb-ft. (136 N•m). The following ranges are based on this

principle.
