WHAT IS TORQUE? Torque is the measurement of twisting force that is applied to a lug nut to create bolt tension. QUALITY AND INNOVATION SINCE 1908 WHAT IS CLAMPING FORCE? Clamping force is the result of bolt tension and it is the physical property that holds the wheels on the vehicle. DOES THE CORRECT TORQUE GUARANTEE THE CORRECT CLAMPING FORCE? No. Clamping force cannot be measured in the field, so technicians must use the correct torque to approximate the amount of clamping force. TORQUE MULTIPLIERS Since there are a number of factors that determine how much clamping force is generated per foot pound of torque, technicians should always follow the RIST procedure developed by the Tire Industry Association (TIA). R I S T TORQUE SPECIFICATIONS Hub-Pilot Wheel: 450-500 ft/lbs. oiled | Stud-Pilot Wheel: 450-500 ft/lbs. dry | Demountable Rim: 200-260 ft/lbs. dry TIA is the industry leader in commercial truck tire and wheel service education. Since Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Regulation 29 CFR 1910.177 requires training for all employees that service truck tires, fleets must make sure that every technician who installs, removes or handles truck tires in any way has compliant training. TIA developed the Fleet Tire Service OSHA Compliance Program so the trucking industry could provide in-house technician training that exceeds the minimum requirements established by 29 CFR 1910.177.
