Torque Guidelines Steel Construction Washers
Note that the torque guidelines below only apply to HV bolts with NLSC washers.
| Bolt size | Product name | Reduced preload force | Modified torque method | Modified combined method [torque + angle] |
Securing effect |
| Fp, C, SC* [kN] |
torque MA, SC [Nm] |
pre-torque MA, MKV, SC [Nm] |
minimum torque MA, SC, min [Nm] |

*Tightening conditions are specified in ETA-13/0246 for HV bolts, grade 10.9.
Required angle of further rotation
| Clamp length | angle | part tum |
| t < 2d | 45° | 1/8 |
| 2d ≤ t < 6d | 60° | 1/6 |
| 6d ≤ t ≤ 10d | 90° | 1/4 |
| 10d < t | No recommendations | |
| Tightening angles when using the combined method varies depending on the clamp length, (t), in relation to bolt diameter, (d). | ||
