Bolt torque calculator

Metric coarse tightening torque and clamp load from diameter, pitch, ISO 898-1 class and dry / oiled / coated nut factor.

K-factor estimate at a chosen fraction of proof load. Friction, coating, prevailing torque and joint stiffness dominate — follow the drawing or VDI 2230.
