Scope and Field of Application |
| |
The Property Classes and thier
mechanical properties apply to bolts, screws, and
studs, with metric(ISO) thread, with nominal
thread diameter d<= 39 m, made of carbon steel or
alloy steel and when tested at room temperature.
They do not apply to set screws and similar or to
specific requirments such as weldability,
corrosion resistance, ability to withstand
temperatures above +300 0
C or below -50
0 C . The
designation system may be used for sizes (e.g.
d>39 mm), provided that all mechanical
requirements of the property classes are met. |

Designation system of property
clases |
| |
The property class symbols,
indicating the most important mechanical
properties, consist of two figures, one on either
side of a dot. for example 10.9. The first figure
indicates 1/100 of the nominal tensile strength in
N/mm2
(see R in the table)
So property class 10.9 has a tensile strength of
10 x 100 = 1000 N/mm 2
The second figure indicates 10 times the ratio
between lower yield stress R (or proof stress R)
and nominal tensile strength R (yield stress
ratio). so at property class 10.9 the second
figure 9 = 1/10 X 900 N/ mm2
. |

for class 8.8 in diameter
d<= 16 mm there is an increased risk of nut
shipping in the case of inadvertent
over-tightening
a load in acess of proofing load reference to ISO
898-2 is recomemded. |
 |
For
Structural boiling the limit is 12 mm |
 |
Applies only to
nominal thread diameter d<=16 mm. |
 |
Min. tensile
properties apply to products of nominal length I
>=2,5 d. Min. Hardness applies to products of I <
2, 5 d and other products which can not be tensile
tested(e.g. due to head configaration). |
 |
urface Hardness
shall not be more than 30 vickers points above the
measured core hardness on the product when
readings of both surface and core are carried out
at HV 0,3 for class 10.9 max. surface hardness =
390 HV |
 |
n cases where the
lower yield stress R cannot be determined it is
permissable to measure the proof stress R. |
