Abstract:
A bolt is fastened up to a predetermined snug torque Ts and then the bolt is further fastened by a specified angle θt from a bolt angle corresponding to the snug torque Ts. Herein, in order to obtain excess and deficiency of the fastening angle up to the snug torque Ts, an angle-variation difference between the fastening angle θsb of the bolt at the point where the fastening torque of the bolt has reached the snug torque Ts and a standard angle θsa of the snug torque Ts is calculated. And, addition of this angle-variation difference to a base angle is set as the new specified angle θt to correct the excess and deficiency. Accordingly, variation in a fastening shaft force can be restrained even if the snug torque is set at a relatively high torque in the bolt fastening method using the torque+angle method.
