Calculate required bolt torque
The relation between applied torque and axial force - or load - in a bolt can be calculated in this general equation as
T = K F d (1 - l/100) (1)
where
T = wrench torque (Nm, lbf ft)
K = constant that depends on the bolt material and size
SR1 Software calculates, in accordance with VDI 2230, high-stress bolted joints with concentric or eccentric strain and load. The calculation makes enables graphical representation of load-extension diagrams and scale drawings. Metric bolt grades and strength calculator to show proof strength, tensile strength, Vickers / Brinell hardness, minimum breaking torque and stress area of metric bolts and screws made of carbon steel and alloy steel with designations 4.6, 4.8, 5.8, 8.8, 9.8, 10.9 and 12.9. Project Description: The Bolted Joint Analysis calculator allows for stress analysis of a bolted joint, accounting for preload, applied axial load, and applied shear load. See the instructions within the documentation for more details on performing this analysis. See the reference section for details on the methodology and the equations used.

d = nominal bolt diameter (m, ft)
F = axial bolt force (N, lbf)
l = lubrication factor (%)
Typical values for K with mild-steel bolts in range 1/4' to 1':
Hex Bolt Weight Chart
- normal dry: K = 0.2
- nonplated black finish: K = 0.3
- zinc-plated: K = 0.2
- slightly lubricated: K = 0.18
- cadmium-plated: K = 0.16
Note! - be aware that this is a rough calculation where the screw pitch is not included. Typical Metric and Imperial bolt torques are indicated in the links below:
Manufacturing data should always be checked before use.
In addition the accuracy of a torque wrench is normally no better than +-25%.

Bolt Torque Calculator
The calculator below can be used to calculate the torque required to achieve a given axial bolt force or load. The calculator is generic an can used for imperial and metric units as long as the use of units are consistent.
K -constant
d - diameter of bolt (m, ft)
F - axial bolt force or load (N, lbf)

Note that standard dry torques are normally calculated to produce a tensile stress - or axial force or clamp load - in the bolt that equals to 70% of minimum tensile strength or 75% of proof strength.
Example - Required torque for tightening a Imperial bolt
The required bolt clamping force for a joint is 20000 lbs. The torque required for a 3/4' dry steel bolt with 0% lubrication to achieve this tension can be calculated as
Tdry = (0.2) (20000 lb) (0.75 in) (1/12 ft/in) (1 - (0%) / (100%))
= 250 (lbf ft)
Example - Required torque for tightening a Metric bolt to proof load
The proof load for a M30 metric bolt grad 8.8 is 337000 N. The torque required to achieve this tension with a dry bolt with 0% lubrication can be calculated as
Tdry = (0.2) (337000 N) (30 mm) (10-3 m/mm)
= 2022 (Nm)
Lubricating the bolt with SAE 30 oil reduces the torque required to achieve the same tension with approximately 40%. The reduced torque can be calculated
TSAE30 = (2022 Nm) (1 - (40%) / (100%))
= 1213 Nm
Bolt Force vs. Torque
Eq. 1 can be rearranged to express bolt force as
F = T / (K d (1 - l / 100)) (1a)
Example - Dry vs. Lubricated Bolt
The proof load for a M30 metric bolt grad 8.8 is 337000 N. The torque required to achieve this force with a dry bolt is calculated to 2022 Nm.
By failure the bolt is lubricated and tightened with the same torque 2022 Nm. The force acting in the lubricated bolt can be calculated as
Flubricated = (2022 Nm) / (0.2 (0.03 m) (1 - (40%) / (100%)))
= 561667 N
This is way above what the bolt can handle and fatal failure is likely.
