I am hoping someone can tell me how to figure out the torque necessary for a
given fastener (bolt, nut, screw, rivet, etc.). I have HP Books "High
Performance Hardware" (a good beginners guide to fasteners) and the 26th
edition of "Machinery's Handbook" and I can't figure out how to determine a
torque setting for a given fastener. It's just a general would-be-neat-to-know
for me. The MH does have a variety of formulas but I'm not sure which to use
and the one I did use (wrench torque) gave me values that I don't seem right
so...can anyone give me an idiot's guide to establishing torque values? ;-)
