Statement from Anti-Seize Technology (tm): "Reduce the torque values by 25% for lubricated fasteners."
https://www.antiseize.com/PDFs/torqu...ifications.pdf
So....
1) My earlier statement that fastener torque values are designed for clean, dry threads with new surface finish, still applies.
2) After lubricating with an anti-seize lubricant, not certain. It was my understanding that the fine (soft) metal particles in anti-seize compounds negates the lubricant effect, but this may be wrong, the metal particles my only be there to act as an anti-seize barrier if the grease carrier burns off or is otherwise removed.
3) Lubricating threads with standard grease or oil definitely changes the torque/tension relationship.
I really appreciate your contributions to the thread. If you come up with anything else, please feel free to post whatever you find. Thanks.
