AI Thread Summary
Calculating the torque needed for an M20x100 bolt is complex and depends on several factors, including joint design, load, number of fasteners, and required bolt pretension. The formula for torque is not straightforward, as it varies based on the specific application and conditions. Reference materials like Machinery's Handbook provide detailed guidance on this topic. It's essential to consider the bolt rating, coating, and lubricant used, as these can significantly impact torque values. Therefore, there is no universal answer, and each situation must be evaluated individually.

My copy of Machinery's Handbook 26th Edition, pp 135 and 1475-1491 go through all of this. I'd suggest that you go to a library or consult your own copy of any edition.

The reason is: the application itself, the bolt rating, bolt coating, and lubricant can change the values.
 
Hint taken!
 
This is not a simple question to answer. There is no right answer for all situations. The answer depends on:

- The joint design
- The joint load
- The number of fasteners involved
- The pretension required in the bolt
 
Thread 'How can I find the cleanout for my building drain?'
I am a long distance truck driver, but I recently completed a plumbing program with Stratford Career Institute. In the chapter of my textbook Repairing DWV Systems, the author says that if there is a clog in the building drain, one can clear out the clog by using a snake augur or maybe some other type of tool into the cleanout for the building drain. The author said that the cleanout for the building drain is usually near the stack. I live in a duplex townhouse. Just out of curiosity, I...
Thread 'Where is my curb stop?'
My water meter is submerged under water for about 95% of the year. Today I took a photograph of the inside of my water meter box because today is one of the rare days that my water meter is not submerged in water. Here is the photograph that I took of my water meter with the cover on: Here is a photograph I took of my water meter with the cover off: I edited the photograph to draw a red circle around a knob on my water meter. Is that knob that I drew a red circle around my meter...
