SUMMARY

Testing was conducted by the Naval Air Development Center to determinetorque-tension relationship for selected self-locking nuts. The torque wrenchand Sidmoxe-;qilhelr bolt tension tester were used in determining torque-tension relationship.

The control of fastener preload is necessary in the design of rigidjoints for Navy aircraft, since joint strength is effected by preload as wellas by tensile strength of the fastener. The proper amount of preload willnot only extend the joint and fastener fatigue life but will also increasethe structural reliability.

The test results indicated that torque wrench method is not accurate fordetermining preload when fasteners are preloaded to 75-80 percent of theirultimate tensile strength. The accuracy of torque wrench method deteriorateseven more if fasteners are used for more than one cycle application. Therewas also significant difference in preload between all metal nuts and nutswith nonmetallic inserts. The fastener preload variation decreased withlarger fasteners.

Based on the test results it is recommended that fasteners should notbe reused when tbhy are preloaded to 75-80 percent of the fastener ultimatetensile strength by torque wrench method.

INTRODUCTION

The testing program to determine torque-tension relationship forselected threaded fasteners was conducted by the Naval Air Development Center(NAVAIRDEVCEN) under AIRTASK A510-5103/001-4/3510-000-002, Work UnitA5303-59.

Due to the continual naval aircraft service problems created by the lackof realistic torque values for threaded fasteners the Naval Air SystemsCommand requested that a study be made and testing conducted by this Centerto determine torque-tension relationship that could provide realistic torquevalues for selected threaded fasteners.

The control of fastener preload is necessary in the design of rigid jointsfor Navy aircraft, since joint strength is effected by preload as well astensile strength of the fastener. The proper amount of preload will extend thejoint and fastener fatigue life thereby inzreasing the structural reliabilityof the system. Exact preload is difficult to obtain due to variables such as;bolt and nut friction, bearing area friction, bolt and nut dissimilar materialshaving diiferent anti-seize properties, thread tolerances, hardness, alignment,type of finish, coating, lubricant and age of lubricant. There are a number ofdifferent methods that can be used to control preload of threaded fasteners,some of them are listed below in order of increasing accuracy:

1. Feel method - preload is determined by feel.

2. Torque wrench method - the nut or bolt is turned to a predeterminedtorque.

3. Turn-of-nut method - the nut or bolt is turned a predeterminednumber of degrees after all play has been removed from the joint.

4. Preload indicating washer method - utilizes compression of an innerring between two flat washers with an outer indicating washer for control.As the load increases, the inner ring (which is higher than the outer indicatingwasher) is sqeezed down and is enlarged in diameter; the predetermined preloadis obtained when the outer indicating washer binds against the two flat washers.The other type of indicating washer utilized collapse of washer's precisioncollar when predetermined preload has been reached.

5. Frangible nut (collar shear-off) method - utilizes collar on the nutthat shears-off at a predetermined preload.

6. Pull method - the pin is stretched to a predetermined load with a toolwhile the collar is swaged into the groove of the pin or threaded on to thepin.

7. Bolt elongation method - preload is determined by measuring theacutal change in the length of the bolt.

NAnC-75359-30

8. Strain gage method - preload is determined by use of strain gages.

NAVAIRDEVCEN evaluated method 2 (torque wrench method), and used the preloadof 80 percent of the fastener ultimate tensile strength in this evaluation,since this is an optimum preload for torque wrench method. This method isvery inexpensive and has been widely accepted by the aircraft industry. ASnap-on torque wrench was used to determine the torque and Skidmore-Wilhelmbolt tension tester was used to determine the tension.

DESCRIPTION OF TEST SAMPLES

The alloy steel self-locking nuts used in test program were MS21042,MS21044, MS21045 and MS21245. Half of the nuts from each military standardhad a dry film lubricant and the other half a soluble lubricant, and wereobtained from the Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC).

The MS21042 nuts were of designs A and B and aze shown in figure 1, theirlocking element zonsisted of upper threaded section bing ellipticallyoffset. The MS21044 nuts were of design C and are shown in fiaure 2, theirlocking element consisted of nonmetallic insert. The MS21045 nuts wereof designs G, H, E and F and are shown in figure 3. The locking element ofdesigns G and H consisted of upper threaded section being divided into sixequal segments which were upset or closed in. The locking element of designsE and F consisted of upper threaded section being elliptically offset. TheMS21245 nuts were of design K and are shown in figure 4, their locking elementconsisted of upper threaded section being divided Jnto six equal segments whichwere upset or closed in. The nuts of designs D and J are shown in figures 3and 4 but were not used in this evaluation. The nuts were tested on MS21250,MS20004, MS20005, MS20006 and MS20008 bolts, with exception of MS21250 the boltswere of 160 KSI Ftu strength level. The MS21250 bolts were of 180 KSI Ftustrength lev! and were used for No. 10 size, since this size is not availablein 160 MSI Ftu strength level. The MS20002 countersunk washers were used underbolts and nuts bearing areas.

DESCRIPTION OF TEST AND SETUP

The bolts and nuts with countersunk washer6 under the bearing areas were

installed in 30,000 pounds Skidmore-Wilhelm boit tension tester, whichhad two gages, one of 10,000 pounds and the other 30,00r pounds. The nutwas then turned while the bolt was held stationary. This procedure wasrepeated for 5 cycles. The nuts were preloaded to approximately 80 percentof the nut minimum ultimate tensile strength. The torque needed to obtainthis preload was established by tests on initial samples and was not variedfor the nuts of the same size and strength level, regardless of the nutdesign or preload. The torque readings were obtained by using 300 in.-lbs.,600 in.-lbs. and 250 ft.-lbs. Snap-on torque wrench and preload readingswere obtained from gages on Skidmore-Wilhelm bolt tension tester.

SUMMARY OF RESULTS

The torque-tension relationship (figures 5 through 30) betw:een variousself-locking element designs, lubricants and even between samples of the same

Page 12: DC - DTICtorque-tension relationship for selected self-locking nuts. The torque wrench and Sidmoxe-;qilhelr bolt tension tester were used in determining torque-tension relationship

NADC-75359-30

design and size exhibited marked differences. The comparative torque-tension relationship, preload spread and variation between samples ofdifferent designs and lubricants are shown in figures 31 through 47and in tables I through V. The effect of friction factor (coefficientof friction) on torque-tension relationship are shown in figures 48through 52. Due to wide preload spread obtained on the fifth cycle,see tables I through V, results beyond first cycle could not be evaluatedin detail. The differences in the preload among the samples for the firstcycle (at the torque which was initially determined by test to be 80 percentof the nut minimum ultimate axial strength) are detailed below:

DISCUSSION

In this test program no attempt was made to determine what effectlubricant age or various locking elements have on preload. The militarystandards leave the shape of the upper part of the nut and the lockingelement design optional, therefore, different manufacturers make nutswith various upper shapes and locking elements which meet the same militarystandard. The self-locking nuts used in this test program were obtainedfrom Defense Industrial Supply Center (DISC) by specifying federal stocknumber, therefore, they are representative samples as to what is used in thefield. The tested nuts had various upper shapes and locking elements, see

During torque-tension tests the MS21042-3 all metal nuts and MS21044N6 nutswith red and green nonmetallic inserts had appreciably higher preload on thefifth cycle than on the first cycle, which is contrary to data obtained forthe other samples, see figures 9, 16 and 17. The trend of the test dataindicates that with each reuse of the fastener, higher torque is needed toobtain the same preload. No explanation can be ade for opposing resul-s onMS21042-3 and MS21044N6.

1. Based on the test results the torque wrench method for determining pre-load is not accurate.

2. Fasteners that have been preloaded to 75-80 percent of the ultimate tensile

strength should not be used beyond first cycle application.

3. The fastener preload becomes more uniform with larger size fasteners.

4. The variation of the friction factor (coefficient of friction) betweenall metal dry film lubricated nuts and all aetal nuts with soluble lubricantwas not aignificant. The friction factors, for the first cycle only, wereas follows:

a. Friction factor 0.21 for MS21042 with dry film lubricant.b. Friction factor 0.25 for MS21042 with soluble lubricant.

c. Friction factor 0.21 for MS21045 with dry film lubricant.d. Friction factor 0.18 for MS21045 with soluble lubricant.

e. Friction factor 0.14 for MS21245 with dry film lubricant.f. Friction factor 0.16 for MS21245 with soluble lubricant.

If sizes No. 10 and 1/4 inch were not included in calculating average frictionfactor for MS 21045, the friction factor for nuts with and without dry filmlubricant would be 0.15.

5. There is a significant difference in friction factor between all metalnuts and nuts with nonmetallic insert. The friction factor tor nuts with non-metallic insert was 0.30.

RECOMMENDATIONS

1. Based on the test results it is recommended that fasteners should notbe reused when they were preloaded to 75-80 percent of the fasteners ultimatetensile strength by torque wrench method.

2. It is recommended that when fasteners are preloaded to 75-80 percent

of the fastener ultimate tensile strength the torque wrench method should notbe used in application where failure of one fastener would result infailure of the system.

3. lased on the test results it is recommended that friction factor of0.30 be used for MS21044 self-locking nuts with nonmetallic insert for sizesNo. 10 ,hrough 1/2 inch and 0.15 Zor MS21045 self-locking nuts made from alloysteel for sizes 5/16 through 1/2 inch.

4. Additional tests should be conducted to determine accuracy of othermethods to control preload of threaded fasteners such as preload indicatingwashers and frangible nut (collar shear-off nut).
