NOTE:
The above estimated torque calculations are only offered as a guide. Use of its content
by anyone is the sole responsibility of that person and they assume all risk. Due to
many variables that affect the torque-tension relationship like human error, surface
texture, and lubrication the only way to determine the correct torque is through
experimentation under actual joint and assembly conditions.
