Gasket Torque Calculator

Formula

The formula to calculate the Gasket Torque (Tg) is:

\[ \text{Tg} = \frac{\text{F} \times \text{D} \times \text{k}}{1000} \]

Where:

Gasket Torque (Tg): The torque applied to a gasket, measured in Newton-meters.
Bolt Load (F): The load applied by the bolt, measured in Newton-meters.
Diameter (D): The diameter of the bolt, measured in millimeters.
Nut Factor (k): The nut factor, a dimensionless value representing the friction between the nut and bolt.

Let's say the bolt load (F) is 500 N-m, the diameter (D) is 20 mm, and the nut factor (k) is 0.2. Using the formula:

\[ \text{Tg} = \frac{500 \times 20 \times 0.2}{1000} = 2 \text{ N-m} \]

So, the gasket torque is 2 N-m.
