Stainless Steel Torque Tables
- Thread starter Gregmon
- Start date
Be careful using torque tables on 304 or 316 stainless fasteners - lot of variables exist that can make a difference. Number of sites carry these same numbers, but none document their source.

Gregmon,
You might be better off working out the torques yourself. It is very easy to generate torque tables with a spreadsheet, and very difficult to find consistent allowable stresses for work hardening materials like 304/316SS. I have seen yield stresses quoted as low as 55KSI for stainless steel cap screws.
