Bolt Tightening Sequence Generator
Enter the bolt count to generate a star or crisscross pattern and, when needed, a staged 30/60/100% pass reference.
Even numbers only (4–64) — rounds automatically.
Number your bolts 1–8 clockwise starting from the top. Tighten in this order: 1 → 5 → 2 → 6 → 3 → 7 → 4 → 8
Need to work out the target torque from a bolt tension first? Use the Tension/Torque Calculator.
How to use it
- Enter the flange bolt count.
- Add a target torque only when an approved procedure supplies it.
- Issue the sequence with the applicable bolting procedure and inspection record.
Field-use boundary
This shows one common sequence. Company procedures and project specifications may define a different pattern, pass count, lubricant basis, or acceptance method. Follow the approved bolting procedure.
Keep the record
Keep the input, responsible-person review, project document revision, and issued output together in the controlled project file.
