True or False? The proper torque does not guarantee the correct amount of clamping force. TRUE FALSE

TRUE. While torque is related to clamping force, many other factors influence the final clamping force achieved. These include friction in the threads, the condition of the mating surfaces, lubrication, and even the material of the fastener and the components being clamped. Therefore, achieving a specific torque value doesn't automatically translate to a specific clamping force.<br />
