When was the last time you drove down the highway without seeing a commercial truck hauling goods?

RE: Snug tightness
KLB (see my post below) but it could vary a bit because snug tight means full contact between the plies. Flatness varies.RE: Snug tightness
Does the 150ft-k approx. value vary on bolt size or dia.?

Snug tight is defined as tight enough to bring all materials in full contact.

That happens to me too. I get so used to using kips that I sometimes forget just how much that really is!

RE: Snug tightness
The old definition read:
"A snug tight condition is defined as the tightness that is attained with a few impacts of an impact wrench or the full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary spud wrench to bring the connected plies into firm contact."
New definition:
"Snug tight is the condition that exists when all of the plies in a connection have been pulled into firm contact by the bolts in the joint and all of the bolts in the joint have been tightened sufficiently to prevent the removal of the nuts without the use of a wrench."
