What torque do you need to apply to hold X kg?

What torque do you need to apply to hold X kg?

This depends on what series of temporary fasteners you are using AND the diameter of the temporary fastener.

As you install the temporary fasteners, you have a minimum and maximum torque (Nm) you can apply.

Depending on that torque, shows on how many kg or Newton the temporary fastener is able to carry.

The higher the torque (Nm) which is applied on the temporary fastener, the higher the load, the temporary fastener will be able to carry.

Here is an example of a typical temporary fastener and the correlation between the torque (Nm) and the load:

This indicates the minimum torque that needs to be aplied and the maximum torque that can be applied in order for the temporary fastener to work.

To have the optimal torque for a certain weight, please follow the green line.

The blue and brown line are the respective minimum and maximum torque to be applied on that weight.

So for example, if you apply a torque of 4Nm, you can pre assemble a panel of 260 kg.

IF the weight is higher, for example 335 kg, it will fail as the maximum weight you can put on this type of temporary fastener with 4Nm torque is 332.8 kg.

IF the weight should be lower, you'll have a too high torque which might cause the panel to be damaged.
