This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the General
Mechanical Engineering Standards Policy Committee and includes definitions of
terms relating to the torque terminology of fasteners.
In the design, assembly, quality assessment and standardization of threaded
fasteners and joints, expressions are frequently used which relate to the various
torque functions which are required to be applied or assessed. Much confusion
is generated by the multiplicity of terms used throughout industry. As a basic
reference document providing a comprehensive list of terms, this glossary is
intended to promote better understanding between the various sections of
industry and the users of faste
Many of the definitions in this glossary are essentially the same as those used in
other British Standards already published. As these British Standards are
revised and new standards are produced, the use of the definitions given in this
glossary will be encouraged in order to promote wider acceptance and
recognition of standard terminology.
In this glossary, terms are arranged in alphabetical order. In the definitions
italics have been used to indicate terms that are defined elsewhere in this
glossary.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
