Property Classes PDF

The document discusses property classes for bolts, screws, and studs. Property classes are indicated by two numbers separated by a point, with the first number multiplied by 100 representing nominal tensile strength in newtons per square millimeter, and the second number multiplied by 10 representing the yield stress ratio as a percentage. Multiplying the two gives one tenth of the yield stress. An example property class of 5.8 is provided. For nuts, property classes indicate the maximum appropriate bolt class that can be used. Property classes should match between bolts and nuts.

Property classes
The symbol for the property classes of bolts, screws and studs consists of two numbers separated by a point. The first number, when multiplied by one hundred, indicates the nominal tensile strength in newtons per square millimeter. The second figure, multiplied by ten, states the ratio between the lower yield stress and the nominal tensile strength (yield stress ratio) as a percentage. The multiplication of these two figures will give one tenth of the yield stress in newtons per square millimeter. Example of a screw in property class 5.8 Nominal tensile strength 5 100 = 500 N/mm2 (MPa) Yield stress ratio 8 10 = 80% Yield stress 80% of 500 = 400 N/mm2 (MPa) For nuts, the main characteristic property is the thread stripping strength (proof stress). The property classes of nuts are designated by a figure to indicate the maximum appropriate property class of bolts with which they may be mated. Thus, nut property class is the same as the first figure of the bolt designation.

Internationally, mechanical stress is expressed in newtons per square area, in bolting N/mm 2. US practice is to use the term megapascal (MPa), which correspond to N/mm2. Ex. 500 /mm2 = 500 MPa In this cataloque the term N/mm2 is used only.
