Bolt Torque Calculator
Work out the tightening torque for a bolted joint using T = K·F·d. Pick a thread size (ISO metric coarse/fine or UNC) and a property class (8.8, 10.9, 12.9, A2-70, SAE 5/8) and the preload is derived from proof load automatically, or enter a target clamp load directly. Results in N·m, lbf·ft, lbf·in and kgf·m, with the resulting bolt stress. Runs entirely in your browser.
