Tightening torque estimate

Target preload is 75% of proof load; torque is estimated from T = K · F · d.

Grade / classStress areaPreloadTorque
Class 8.8417.7 mm²181.7 kN872.2 N·m
Class 10.9417.7 mm²260.03 kN1248.1 N·m
Class 12.9417.7 mm²303.89 kN1458.6 N·m
These figures assume a nut factor of K = 0.20 (dry / as-received steel). K captures thread and head friction and can swing torque by 30% or more — a lubricated joint needs noticeably less. Change the lubrication assumption in the bolt-torque calculator.

What tap drill do I need for M24 × 1.0?

For a M24 × 1.0 thread, drill the hole with a 23 mm tap drill (23 mm — the standard D − P rule) before tapping. That produces roughly 77% thread engagement, the usual target for a strong, tappable hole. The mating bolt has a major diameter of 24 mm and a pitch of 1 mm (25.4 TPI).

To pass a M24 × 1.0 bolt through a part rather than thread it, use a clearance hole: Close 25 · Normal 26 · Loose 28 mm.

All values are generated from the standard thread formulas (ISO 68-1 / ASME B1.1) and published standard tables — not hand-entered. See the full reference.
