    Recommended Torque Value(s) for Small Fastners?

    Mil-Hdbk-60 dated 12 March 1990 which replaced Appendix A12 of Fed-Std -H28; stipulates torque values from 0.190 upto 1.5 inch diameter fastners or hardware. However, I'm still in need of recommended torque values for hardware fasteners in the smaller size(s) of 0-80, 2-56, 4-40, 6-32 and 8-32...
