materials. ASTM A490 covers heavy hex structural bolts from 1/2 inch diameter through
1-1/2 inches diameter and are made of alloy steel. Find here the below ASTM A490 Bolt
Torque Chart which provides the details of tension, torque and TPI for its specification
bolts against their corresponding sizes.
