This SAE Information Report is provided as an advisory guide. Individual application discretion is recommended. The content has been presented as accurately as possible, but responsibility for its application lies with the user. The document covers the variables in the torque-tension relationship: friction, materials, temperature, humidity, fastener and mating part finishes, surfaces, and the kind of wrenching employed.
Also described in this document is the torque management required to achieve correct fastener joint tightening.
The thread fit of fasteners must be in accordance with Class 6g for external and 6H for internal metric threads.
The Fasteners Committee is dedicated to serving the users of fasteners by identifying the need for and developing and maintaining Standards, Recommended Practices and Information Reports in the area of fasteners (including nuts, bolts, washers, screws, pins, rivets and other fasteners) for use with various Land-Sea vehicular applications. Areas addressed include coding, identification, dimensional, performance and procurement requirements as well as quality, shipping, storage, testing methods, application and installation guidelines. The SAE Fastener Committee interacts with other SAE committees and other technical societies, international standards organizations and government agencies to provide global standardization and avoid duplication of effort.
* Redlines comparisons are available for those standards
listed in the Revision History that contain a radio button. A
redline comparison of the current version against a revision is
accomplished by selecting the radio button next to the standard and
then selecting 'compare'. At this time, Redline versions only exist
for some AMS standards. SAE will continue to add redline versioning
with ongoing updates to SAE MOBILUS.
