Best Answer

Torque is related to friction and diameter. torque usually is done to achieve a preload stress in the bolt of 50% of its ultimate strength

For unlubricatd bolts,

T= 0.2DP where D = diamter and P = bolt preload and T = torque

Bolt preload stress = P/A where A is stress area of bolt

#12 = 0.216 inch diameter, A = 0.024

For standard steel bolts of 80,000 psi strength,

P = 1920/2 = 960 pounds

T = 41 inch pounds

For high strength bolts of 160,000 psi strength,

T = 82 inch pounds

If bolts are lubricated, use

T = 0.15DP

T = 31 in lbs standard and 62 inch pounds high strength

What are the torque specifications for Toyota 22RE cylinder head bolts?

Haynes manual says 58 ft lbs. be sure that the bolt threads are all clean, and if there is any resistance from putting the bolt in the hole, tap it out. the bolt size is 12 mm, pitch is 1.25. Also, make sure that there is nothing in the bolt hole. the hole in the block has oil in it, the bolt can bottom out in that and give a false torque reading.

Is bolt tensile strength in foot pounds or inch pounds?

Neither. Bolt tensile strength is in pounds per square inch. You are confusing torque with bolt strength. Typically a bolt will be torqued to stretch the bolt and preload it to about 50% of its strength. The relation between torque T and preload P is T = 0.15DP where D is bolt diameter(inch), T is inch pounds and P is pounds. Then stress is P/A where A is bolt area and this stress is 1/2 of strength. Note that torque in foot pounds is simply in lb/12, or 12 inch pounds = 1 ft lb
