I think the lug nuts on my motorhome get torqued to 600 ftlbs. That's what the shop said when i got new tires on it last year.

We use multipliers like Rusty said on some bolts in our sheet pile driver. They have a spec of around 1200ft/lb.

They also make hydraulic torque wrenches that run off a power pack for very large fastenters

We had a few big nuts and bolts on the oil pumps we machined.

HyTorque. We had one of the heads explode on us. Forced a world wide recall.

Choose your multiplier.

Disappointing.. I had a wonderful vision of a BFTW, one that God would use to tighten an axis nut for the Earth.

Let me know when you start playing around with 6" and bigger diameter bolts, nuts, and studs. Where you measure torque in the stretch of the stud. Measure the length. Heat it up. Measure again. Keep heating unit you get the length you want. Then screw the nut down.

Another one was to use a stud heater to heat the stud up after you had screwed the nut down tight. Then once the stud grew in length from the heat. You turned the nut down again. Counting the number of flats on the nut you turned. If you couldn't turn the number of flats needed. You kept heating the stud up until you could.

They’re over torquing them, newest specs on the M22x1.5 studs w/the nuts that have swivvlers washers behind them are a couple drops of 30wt. oil on threads & on nut@washer - then torque to 500#
Older books say 450-550, some said 450-500

I still use my 1” Ingersoll Rand, fed by a small 1/2” line w/120 psi & do my thing.....just been doing it too long
