What is the torque sequence pattern?
What is the torque sequence pattern? Bolt tightening sequence, or torque sequence, is defined in the torque tightening procedure. Flange joints are torqued tight with the help of a torque wrench (manual or hydraulic). The clamp load produced during tightening is higher than 75% of the fastener's proof load. How do you sequence torque? Tightening sequence The first pass, lightly tighten the first bolt then move directly across or 180 degrees for the second bolt, then move1/4 turn around the circle or 90 degrees for the third bolt and directly across for the fourth. Continue this sequence until all bolts...
