Three main things affect the tightening torque:
1) Smaller (thinner) bolts require less torque than big (thicker) ones.
2) Weak (low grade) bolts require less torque than strong (high grade).
3) Bolts with Dry threads require more torque than lubricated ones. 

Torque Units: 1.00 n-m (newton meter) is equal to 0.102 kg-m (kilogram meter), or 0.738 ft-lb (pound foot)
All torques listed here are converted to ft-lb. That allows easy comparison of multiple sources.
