ANCILLARY EQUIPMENT FOR LOW VELOCITY AIR DROP SYSTEMS (LVADS)
TORQUE LIMITS
0127 00-1
SCOPE
This work package provides torque limits for general use fasteners. The torque values given in this work
package shall be used when specific torque values are not identified in the maintenance instructions.
TORQUE LIMITS
All figures provided in table 1 are foot-pounds except those marked with an asterick (*), which are inch-
pounds. There is no difference between torque figures for fine or course threads. The torque figure for
finely threaded fasteners as compared to coarsely threaded fasteners of the same diameter may be
slightly higher.
