Testing was conducted to determine torque-tension relationship for self-locking nuts. The test results indicated that torque wrench method is not accurate for determining preload when fasteners are preloaded to 75-80 percent of their ultimate tensile strength. The accuracy of torque wrench method deteriroates even more if fasteners are used for more than one cycle application. There was also significant difference in preload between all metal nuts and nuts with nonmetallic insert. The fastener preload variation decreased with larger fasteners.
