Tensile Strength: The maximum load in tension (pulling apart) which a material can withstand before breaking or fracturing. Yield Strength: The maximum load at which a material exhibits a specific permanent deformation. Proof Load: An axial tensile load which the product must withstand without evidence of any permanent set.
Grade 2 requirements for sizes 1/4 through 3/4 in apply only to bolts and screws 6 in. and shorter in lengths. For bolts and screws longer than 6 in. Grade 1 requirements shall apply.
Stainless Steel strength comparison chart for both PSI and Mpa. for all available stainless steel fastener grades - Class 50, Class 70, Class 80 and Class 100 (aka A2-50, A2-70, A2-80, A2-100 for A2 Stainless (304), or A4-50, A4-70, A4-80 and A4-100 for A4 (316) marine grade stainless).
We manufacture bolts, nuts and stud bolts in high tensile and in Stainless steel grades for critical applications, like wind energy, infrastructure, pipe lines, sewage plants, pumps, valves, bridges, water treatment plants, TSE networks and more
Most stainless is non-magnetic. Tensile Strength: The maximum load in tension (pulling apart) which a material can withstand before breaking or fracturing. Yield strength: The maximum load at which a material exhibits a specific permanent deformation.
This article provides the chemical breakdown and mechanical properties of A2- and A4-grade stainless steel bolts, screws, studs and nuts. Also included in this article is a comparison chart between different international standards available for both grades.
