torque rate

this article might clarify matters:

Screw joints vary not only in size but also in type which changes the characteristics of the joints. From a tightening point of view the most important quality of a joint is the “hardness”. In figures this can be defined as the “torque rate” which is the tightening angle necessary to achieve the recommended torque of the screw dimension and quality in question measured from the snug level – the point at which the components and the screw head become tight

the two materials which have to be bolted together with each other Ck25 (bearing cover) is only relevant if the pressure as a result of the torque wrench setting for the screws is 3700Nm and the material used has a standard of 8.8

some additional information from:

Depending on the manufactured size respectively the size of the bearing the sleeve nut is tightened with tightening angle 9 (Table ), this produces the required bearing air.

Once a screw has been tightened to its elastic limit, it is then tightened further by turning it through a specified angle. This action stretches the screw slightly beyond its elastic limit. It is the best tightening method, but can't be repeated on the same screw, as it has already been stretched.

s. u.

These are two different measures and usually one _or_ the other is used but there is no easy conversion method. Reason is quite simple: tightening 90° 2 rubber plates and 2 steel plates result in two (very) different torques for example.

But I am looking for a rule of the thumb, if there is one.

Why do you need this?

No \"rule of the thumb\", I am afraid. Seems purely experimental.
