INTRODUCTION
This work package provides general torque limits for fasteners. Special torque values are indicated in the
maintenance procedures for applicable components. The general torque values given in this work
package shall be used when specific torque values are not indicated in the maintenance procedures.
Torque Limits
Torque limits are listed in Table 1 for fasteners. Dry fasteners are defined as fasteners on which no
lubricants are applied to the threads. Wet fasteners are defined as fasteners on which graphite or moly-
disulphide greases or other extreme pressure lubricants are applied to the threads. Table 2 lists the
minimum breakaway torque values for locknuts.
