5. Tightening

5.1 Torque method

The bolts shall be tightened using a torque wrench offering a suitable operating range. Hand or power
operated wrenches may be used. Impact wrenches may be used for the first step of tightening for each
bolt.
a) a first tightening step: the wrench shall be set to a torque value of about 0,75 Mr,i with Mr,i =
Mr,2 or Mr,test.This first step shall be completed for all bolts in one connection prior to
commencement of the second step;
b) a second tightening step: the wrench shall be set to a torque value of 1,10 Mr,i with Mr,i = Mr,2
or Mr,test.

M30 393 1650 0,127
M33 486 2200 0,125
M36 572 2800 0,124

Tightening torque Mr (=1,10 Mr,i) showed on nuts packaging has to be applied using calibrated torque
wrenches with accuracy of 4% according to EN ISO 6789 by rotation of the nut; different tightening
procedures have to be approved by experimental tightening tests under site conditions as specified in annex H
of European Standard EN 1090-2: 2008+A1:2011.

5.1 Combined method

Tightening by the combined method comprises two steps:
a) a first tightening step, using a torque wrench offering a suitable operating range. The wrench shall be
set to a torque value of about 0,75 Mr,i with Mr,i = Mr,2 or Mr,1 or Mr,test. This first step shall be
completed for all bolts in one connection prior to commencement of the second step;
b) a second tightening step in which a specified part turn is applied to the turned part of the assembly.
The position of the nut relative to the bolt threads shall be marked after the first step, using a marking
crayon or marking paint, so that the final rotation of the nut relative to the thread in this second step can
be easily determined.

NOTE Where the surface under the bolt head or nut (allowing for taper washers, if used) is not
perpendicular to the bolt axis, the required angle of rotation should be determined by testing
