Measure diameter of screw you are installing.

Count the number of threads per inch or use a pitch gage.

Under heading “SIZE”, look down the left hand column until you find the diameter of the screw being installed (there will

usually be two lines beginning with the same size).

In the second column under’’SIZE”, find the number of threads per inch that matches the number of threads counted in

step b.

To find the grade screw being installed, match markings on the head to the correct picture of cap screw head markings

on the torque table.

Look down the column under the picture found in step e, until you find the torque limit in Ib-ft or N·m for the diameter and

threads per inch of the screw being installed.

NOTE

Manufacturer’s cap screw head marking may vary. These are all SAE grade 5 (3 line).
