1. General description
Bolted joints are the most common connecting members in compressor construction. Bolts
(cap screws, studs, machine screws) require tightening with wrench to a specific torque
value. Tightening produces a clamp load that eliminates relative motion of the joined parts.
Adequate connection between working parts provides proper co-operation and longer
lifetime of compressor elements. Over tightening will result in threads damage or bolt
stretching and in the end will ruin joint’s strength. Whereas under tightening allows joint to
come loose and to flex.
This document contains torque values for the most important connections present in H and
M compressor models.
2. Fastener torquing procedures
The following procedure contains information to ensure that fastener tightening is accurate
and design torque values are properly applied. Always consult the torque wrench
manufacturer’s written literature for its proper use and calibration procedures.
1. A calibrated torque wrench must be properly used to achieve the required fastener
torque for critical parts assembly.
2. Select a torque wrench appropriate for the lb-ft, in-lb or Nm range specified for the
fastener. For higher torque values, a torque multiplier may be required. Before use,
always verify the torque multiplier’s actual mechanical advantage from the
manufacturer’s literature.
3. Fastening hardware’s threads and contact surfaces are to be clean and free of burrs
or dings. This includes bolt, stud and nut threads, along with washer, nut, bolt head
and associated contact surfaces. Generally, the fastener should be capable of being
“hand assembled” with a minimum of force. Generally fasteners should be installed
with some radial clearance. Avoid placing the fastener threads in shear or loaded
against one side of the fastener’s hole.
4. Torque values are generally based upon the use of petroleum based lubricants, with
lubricant being applied to fastener’s threads and seating surfaces. Use of the
compressor sump’s SAE 40 WT oil is preferred, unless otherwise specified.
Caution: Friction reducers, such as Never-Seize or molybdenum disulfide, are not to
be use unless specifically designated. Friction reducers using the specified torque
values can result in excessive fastener stresses.
5. When using a torque wrench always apply a steady and slow force until a click is
heard or felt. Do not rapidly jerk the wrench, since the resulting torque can be 1.5 to 2
times the setting.
e GE Oil and Gas
GES089
6. Fastener assembly can be accomplished with various types of speed wrenches.

However, always apply the final torque using a torque wrench.
7. Do not “double click” a torque wrench. Torque applied with a rapid “double click”
method can result in excessively high torque values.
8. To verify a torque value, slowly apply a steady and slow force until the click is heard
or felt.
9. When a torque wrench is not being used, always reduce its setting (spring tension) to
its minimal value. The torque wrench’s calibration accuracy will be affected if it is left
with a high spring tension setting for long periods of time.
10. Unless checking loosening torque values on critical fasteners, do not routinely use a
torque wrench when breaking fasteners loose. Regular use of torque wrenches to
rapidly loosen fasteners can overload the wrench and affect its calibration accuracy.
Torque wrench accuracy must be verified annually or as required.
11. Special wrench adapters are sometimes required to tighten fasteners that are not
readily accessible. When torque wrench adapters (socket, boxed end or crows foot)
are used, the torque setting will not match the applied torque. The only exception to
this rule is, when the adapter is used at a right angle (90°) to the wrench centerline,
see Figures 1 & 2.
12. The ratio between actual fastener applied torque and the wrench setting is as
follows;
Tw = Tf x L
L+A
where,
Tw = Torque wrench setting, lb-ft, lb-in or Nm;
Tf = Fastener’s torque requirement, lb-ft, lb-in or Nm;
L = Torque wrench length (from square drive end to handle’s center point), ft;
A = Adapter length (measured along wrench’s centerline, from drive end to adapter),
ft.

3. Chemicals used for bolted joints
A) Anti-seize:
- Anti-seize paste: Dow Corning Molykote P37 (gray black paste) prevents seize of austenite
and high nickel chromium steel screws used in high temperatures.
B) Bolted joint fasteners:

- Medium strength fasteners (removable): LOCTITE® 243 (Blue liquid) for the locking and
sealing of threaded fasteners which require normal disassembly with standard hand tools.
- High strength fasteners (permanent): LOCTITE® 277 (Red liquid) for the permanent locking
and sealing of threaded fasteners, prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration.
Disassembly requires use of heat (for details see 3.3. Disassembly. Heating procedure for
permanent fasteners) and standard tools.
C) Accelerant
- Where increased cure speed of LOCTITE® anaerobic products is required use LOCTITE®
7649. It is particularly recommended when prevailing temperature is low (<60F). Especially
recommended for applications with passive metals or inert surfaces and with large bond
gaps.
D) Sealant
- LOCTITE® 567 (white paste) for the locking and sealing of metal tapered threads and
fittings. It prevents loosening and leakage from shock and vibration. The high lubricating
properties of this compound prevent galling on stainless steel, aluminum and all other metal
pipe threads and fittings.
3.1. Thread cleaning before tightening
Thread fastener preparation preceding assembly:

Clean the thread from rust and sludge using wire brush and compressed air. Before use of
chemical (e.g. Loctite, Dow Corning, etc.) if needed dry the thread with paper towel. Repeat
cleaning process if necessary. Apply the chemical immediately and assemble bond.
3.2. Direction of use
A) Anti-seize paste (e.g. Dow Corning Molykote P37)

Clean and degrease the location of use before applying the paste. Carefully apply the paste
to fully coat the screws. Do not mix with other lubricants. Assemble the joint.
B) Bolted joint fasteners (e.g. LOCTITE® 243, 277)

1. If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is too slow, spray all threads with
Loctite Activator 7649 and allow drying.
2. Shake the product thoroughly before use.
e GE Oil and Gas
GES089
3. To prevent the product from clogging in the nozzle, do not allow the tip to touch
metal surfaces during application.
4. For Thru Holes, apply several drops of the product onto the bolt at the nut
engagement area.
5. For Blind Holes, apply several drops of the product down the internal threads to the
bottom of the hole.
6. For Sealing Applications, apply a 360° bead of product to the leading threads of the
male fitting, leaving the first thread free. Force the material into the threads to
thoroughly fill the voids. For bigger threads and voids, adjust product amount
accordingly and apply a 360° bead of product on the female threads also.
7. Assemble and tighten as required.
C) Accelerants (e.g. LOCTITE® 7649)

1. Spray or brush on the activator on both mating surfaces to be bonded. For small
gaps, treatment of only one surface may be adequate. Contaminated surfaces may
need repeated treatment or special degreasing prior to activation to remove any
dissolvable contamination.
2. Porous surfaces may need two treatments of activator.
3. Allow the solvent time to evaporate under good ventilation until the surfaces are
completely dry.
4. After activation, parts should be bonded within one month. Contamination of the
surface before bonding should be prevented.
5. Apply the Loctite Anaerobic product to one or both surfaces and assemble parts
immediately.
6. Where possible, move surfaces in relation to each other for a few seconds on
assembly to properly distribute the adhesive and for maximum activation.
7. Secure the assembly and await fixturing before any further handling.
D) Sealants (e.g. LOCTITE® 567)

1. For best results, clean all surfaces (external and internal) with a LOCTITE® cleaning
solvent and allow to dry.
2. If the material is an inactive metal or the cure speed is too slow, spray with Activator
7471™ or 7649™ and allow to dry.
3. Apply a 360° bead of product to the leading threads of the male fitting, leaving the
first thread free. Force the material into the threads to thoroughly fill the voids. For
bigger threads and voids, adjust product amount accordingly and apply a 360° bead
of product on the female threads also.
4. Using accepted trades practices assemble and wrench tighten fittings until proper
alignment is obtained.
5. Properly tightened fittings will seal instantly to moderate pressures. For maximum
pressure resistance and solvent resistance allow the product to cure a minimum of
24 hours.

3.3. Disassembly
A) Bolted joint fasteners

Removable - Medium strength fasteners and sealants (LOCTITE® 243) can be removed with
standard hand tools.
In rare instances where hand tools do not work because of excessive engagement length,
apply localized heat to nut or bolt to approximately 500°F. Disassemble while hot.
Permanent - High strength fasteners (LOCTITE® 277) can be removed by applying localized
heat to nut or bolt to approximately 500 °F. Disassemble while hot.
B) Sealants
1. Remove with standard hand tools.
2. Where hand tools do not work because of excessive engagement length or large
diameters (over 1"), apply localized heat to approximately 250 °C. Disassemble while
hot.
3. Cured product can be removed with a combination of soaking in a LOCTITE solvent
and mechanical abrasion such as a wire brush.
C) Heating procedure
If heat needs to be applied in order to unscrew the bolted joint, a heat gun or a torch with
heating tip (acting gas: propane, oxygen-propane, sedalin or similar) is commonly used to
perform this action.
Great care must be taken to concentrate the heat only on the bolt itself to avoid damage
of other compressor elements, especially expensive elements – cylinder, frame, and sealing
elements - O-rings, gaskets.
Precise temperature control isn’t possible using these tools, so a well-trained and
experienced service personnel is required to perform this operation.
The bolt / nut must be unscrewed while hot.
After this action nut must be scraped and replaced.
3.4. Safety precautions
Threadlockers, sealant and solvents contain chemicals, which can have an adverse affect on
health, when incorrectly handled. This chapter contains most important information about
the risks and Precautions
A) WARNING:
Chemicals used as thread fasteners:
- CAUSES EYE IRRITATION;
- MAY CAUSE RESPIRATORY TRACT IRRITATION;
- MAY CAUSE ALLERGIC SKIN REACTION;
- MAY BE HARMFUL IF SWALLOWED.
