*Class 8-8a up to Ø 16 mm, 8-8b for Ø 18 mm and above. ** Values per Fr. Std. E 25-030.

Tensile load (Fo)
The force in newtons (N) which maintains pressure contact between assembled components.

Tightening torque (Cs) [ values are in N·m ]
The product of a force and the leverage length at which it is applied: Torque (N·m) = Force (in newtons) x Length (in metres).

Note: per european conventional usage; the comma ( , ) is used as the decimal point ( . ) in these charts
