1) For additional rotation angles EN 1090-2 Table 21 applies
Torque Guidelines Steel Construction Washers, Table 3
Additional rotation for the second step in the combined method (8.8 and 10.9 bolts).
Total nominal thickness "t" of parts to be connected (including all packs and washers) d = bolt diameter |
Further rotation to be applied, during the second step of tightening | |

No recomendations |
Tightening angles when using the combined method varies depending on the clamp length, (t), in relation to bolt diameter, (d).
