GeneralQuestion 117 of 120
If a bolt must be torqued to 90 foot-pounds and the specification then calls for an additional 90-degree turn, this method is known as:
a.Cross-torquing
b.Torque-to-yield (torque-plus-angle)
c.Preloading only
d.Static balancing
Explanation
Torque-plus-angle (torque-to-yield) tightens the fastener to a base torque and then a specified angle, stretching it for consistent clamp load. It is common on head bolts and other critical fasteners. A torque-angle gauge or electronic tool measures the additional rotation.
