TM 5-3895-373-20APPENDIX FTORQUE LIMITSSECTION I. INTRODUCTIONF.1.SCOPE.This appendix provides general torque limits for hexhead cap screws, bolts, and set screws for the 780Tbituminous asphalt paving machine.F.2.EXPLANATION OF TABLES FOR CAPSCREWS.BOLTS,ANDSETSCREWS.a. Torque values are based on plain, unplacedhardware that has been degreased and dried. Thevalues are also based on clamping steel to steel. Alltorque values, including special cases, are identified inthe applicable task. If a task torque value differs from acorresponding table value, the task value must be used.b. Section II. Torque Limits for Hex Head CapScrews and Bolts. This table lists torque values for SAEGrade 8 fasteners. Grade 8 fasteners can be identifiedby 6 radial dashes on the head, each set 60° apart.c. Section III. Torque Limits for Set Screws.This section consists of two tables that list torque valuesfor U.S. standard and metric set screws. Torque valueswill be for SAE Grade 5 or ISO Class 8.8 unlessotherwise stated.F.3.HOWTOUSETORQUETABLESFORCAPSCREWS,BOLTS,ANDSETSCREWS.a. Measure the shaft diameter of the cap screwor bolt to be installed.b. Determine the number of threads per inch.c. Locate the fastener in the left-hand columnby both diameter and threads per inch.d. Look across the row to obtain the torque limitin Ib-ft or N•m.F-1
