Torque ft lbs calculated to give % of yield tension stress for ASTM A-193 B7 or
ASTM A-302 L7 bolts using ASTM A 194 GR. 2H nuts.

**

Calculated based on reduced yield strength of 95,000 psi.
 

CAUTION: API Spec 17D requires flange connection bolt tightness (tension stress in the bolt) equal to 67% to 70% of the specified minimum yield strength of L7/B7 bolts. When using some lubricants and/or anti-corrosion coatings on bolts, tightening bolts consistent with the torque table shown above may in fact produce tension closer to the actual yield strength of the bolts. Operators should use an alternate method to measure tension in the bolts to confirm the applicability of this table.
