Calculating Fuel Fitting Torque
Calculating Fuel Fitting Torque
(OP)
How do I calculate the amount of applied torque required for a fuel fitting tee from a truck diesel engine? The tee is made from 316 SS, with couplings made from carbon steel on the two branches at the top of the tee, while the outlet has a flanged 316 coupling that screws into a valve, with all fittings M10 size. Is there an established methodology I can use to calculate what the torque should be?
