21CrMoV5-7 Torque Chart (EN 10269 / 1.7709)

The 21CrMoV5-7 torque chart gives the recommended dry and lubricated bolt-up torque values for common stud and bolt sizes in the EN 10269 21CrMoV5-7 Q+T condition. Torque values are calibrated to develop 60 percent of the 0.2 percent proof stress (Rp0.2) per standard bolt-up practice, with K-factor adjustments for friction.

Torque-Chart Notes

Torque calculation: T = K x d x F, where K is the nut-factor (0.20 dry, 0.13 lubricated with MoS2), d is the nominal diameter, F is the target preload (60 percent of Rp0.2 x stress area). The chart assumes the EN 10269 minimum 0.2 percent proof stress of 550 MPa. For projects with higher actual Rp0.2 (typical mill values 600 to 700 MPa), the achievable preload increases proportionally and the torque can be re-calibrated.
