How can you calculate the coeffecient of friction of the screw? There are different types of screw heads, different materials being used, different material thicknesses, ect. I dont see how it is possible to establish a rudimentary figure like .20 without taking in all the variables.

But 15 in. lbs seems like it would be a good figure in that calculation regardless. I dont think you can hurt a tec by overtightening it.
