How do you find the torque specs on a bolt?
Begin with the formula T = K x U x D x P, where T is the torque, K is a standard representing 1.33, U is the coefficient of friction, D is the diameter of the fasteners, and P is the necessary preload.
How much torque can you generate with a screw driver?
Torque screwdrivers can exert torques from 6 inch ounces (0.04 N⋅m) to at least 27 N⋅m. Although no single tool covers the entire range, low-, mid-, and high-torque ranges are available. Torque screwdrivers and torque wrenches have similar purposes and mechanisms.
What is the torque for laptop screws?
While a screw for a laptop or a hard drive case may have torque settings as low as a single inch-pound of force (lbf.in) or even lower, a lawn mower engine shroud may need around 40 pound-feet of force (lbf) on a screw.
How tight is hand tight torque?
Hand tight is on average about 2ft-lb.

Does thread pitch affect torque?
Thread pitch tends to be more independent of nominal diameter than the other variables. Increasing just thread pitch by 40% cuts tension 5% for a given torque. However, the reaction-torque term containing the thread pitch, P — P/2 π — does not contain a friction coefficient.
