OK, so I would assume that using lock-tite would be a wet torque as well.
Are the (for example) motor-mount bolts I just torqued to 40 lbs too tight
because I used lock-tight?

How much of an adjustment would you need to make in the torque when using a
wet torque?

Bill,

We only have radio here, with the cable draped over the side of the
spectator's area. I take notes, in a mix of Spanish, English and German
that only I can make sense of. I like to look at the people. I get the
impression, that they are all trying to hide something.

There is no need for grease, when threats still work. The town is small,
and this is after all Western Colorado. I can forgive a certain amount of
particularism, from people who still have some regard for my property
rights.

Found this on the net:

"Since dry vs wet can vary greatly, any structural bolts that would be
torqued under my supervision must be done per the AISC Calibrated torque
wrench method to verify proper tension. But since you people are mere
peons, not able to fully appreciate a Wilhelm-Skidmore bolt tensioner, I
would go off the following rule of thumb torque formula:


T=(KDW)/12=foot-pounds



where T= torque
K=friction factor
D= Nominal bolt diameter in decimal inches
W=clamp load in pounds
K=0.30 for nonplated fasteners, black finish
K=0.20 for electrodeposited zinc coatings
K=0.15-0.18 for oils
K=0.16 for cadmium electrodeposited coatings
K=0.12 for copper anti-seize compound



Standard practice is to tighten a bolt to 70-75% of the proof load. Proof
load is the point where a bolt will permanently deform more than 2%.



Let me know if you need any more schooling.
