JFP! A 1 word agreement. Must be a first around here. Thanks for the agreement.

Dry friction cannot be calculated or predicted. Just the oil from your hands will change the residual loads during testing. In fact a used (but not damaged) fastener will have better consistency than a new fastener due to burnishing and the effect of "virgin" fasteners. It gets very complicated depending on application.
