Well, it is simple because as another lister pointed out there are tables
and stuff that 'engineers' have already produced.
So there is a lot more involved in deciding which grade and type of fastener
to use than calculating the necessary torque. Did I ever say there wasn't?
In fact I was just talking about re-calculating (using a table to do so) a
torque figure when the bolt had been upgraded to one of a different strength.
