Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why are assembly pastes important for bolted joints?
Assembly pastes provide a consistent, known friction coefficient that enables accurate bolt preload calculation. Without assembly paste, friction is unpredictable — ranging from 0.08 to 0.25+ depending on surface condition, leading to inconsistent clamping forces and potential joint failure. For critical bolted connections (wind turbine tower bolts, mill shell bolts), using a specified assembly paste is essential engineering practice.
