Why do we Lubricate Threaded Fasteners?

That leaves us with the torque wrench. Here’s the problem… When turning the bolt some of the twisting force goes into overcoming friction of the threads and importantly the nut and washer interface. Even if the applied torque is meticulously controlled there are many, many, variables at work that determine how much friction is present.

Bolt Torque Specifications... wet or dry?- Mtbr.com

2004-5-9 · the torque you set is more likely to stay that way with lubrication. Imagine a nasty sticky bolt that chatters as you tighten it due to lack of lubrication. It does that because the threads are dry and the bolt is twisting and untwisting (sticking) as you go. Much like spoke nipples when building wheels.

What is the Nut Factor and How Does it Affect Torque?

The industry practice has been to measure the amount of torque required to tighten the bolt, and then attempt to relate that torque to tension. A “short form” equation for converting between torque and tension has been developed: T = K×F×D. where T is the torque measurement, K is the nut factor, F is the tension and D is the bolt diameter.
