APPENDIX H
TORQUE LIMITS
Section I. INTRODUCTION
H-1. Scope.
This appendix lists torque ratings for fasteners used on the APU. When torque values are called out in the
maintenance procedures, those torques supersede the torques specified in this appendix. Table H-1 lists torque limits for
standard fasteners installed dry. Table H-2 provides formulas for converting the dry torque values to wet. Table H-3 lists
torque limits for standard metric fasteners installed dry.
