Unless specified otherwise, what condition of threads are torque values based upon when tightening aircraft nuts and bolts?
- Clean, lightly oiled threads.
- Clean, dry threads. (correct)
- Threads with traces of corrosion.
- Threads coated with anti-seize compound.
Generally, how should aircraft bolts be installed, unless otherwise specified?
Generally, how should aircraft bolts be installed, unless otherwise specified?
- Bolt head oriented towards the nearest ground point.
- Bolt head facing upwards for ease of inspection.
- Bolt head positioned parallel to the line of flight.
- Bolt head facing in a readily accessible direction. (correct)
How does thread condition primarily affect the torque required for tightening a bolt to a specific tension?
How does thread condition primarily affect the torque required for tightening a bolt to a specific tension?
- Oiled threads require higher torque due to increased friction.
- Dry threads require lower torque to achieve proper clamp load.
- Contaminated threads consistently maintain torque regardless of lubricant.
- Oiled threads reduce friction, requiring less torque to achieve the same clamp load. (correct)
