Bolt Torque Calculator

Estimate the torque required to develop a target bolt stress on a flange stud. Choose the bolt size, material grade, lubrication, and target stress as a percentage of yield. Results are a reference for planning. Always confirm against gasket manufacturer load requirements and the latest revision of ASME PCC-1.

Inputs

Calculated Result

398 ft-lbs

Target wrench torque using T = K x F x D

Clamp Load (F)
31,815 lbs
Bolt Stress
52,500 psi
Friction Factor (K)
0.15

Disclaimer: This calculator returns a reference value based on the standard T = K x F x D model with published tensile stress areas and ASTM yield strengths. Actual joint makeup should follow the gasket manufacturer's published seating stress, ASME PCC-1 procedures, and any project torque tables. Use a calibrated tool and proper pattern.

For full bolt dimensions and thread reference, see the Texas Flange article on bolt dimensions.

Bolting and Torque References

For stud bolt sizes and torque references by pressure class, see the Texas Flange bolt torque reference. Joint assembly is governed by ASME PCC-1. Follow the bolting and gasket manufacturer's procedure for your joint.
