This Material Strength Grade Guide exists to provide standardized information about the strength and mechanical properties of various materials used in engineering and construction. This guide is essential for ensuring that the right materials are selected for specific applications, taking into account the required strength, durability, and performance of the components.

The grade standard for bolts refers to the specifications and requirements set by various organizations and standards bodies that define the mechanical properties, chemical composition, and other characteristics of bolts. These standards ensure that bolts meet certain quality and performance criteria for specific applications.

Some commonly used grade standards for bolts include:

  1. ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) – ASTM A193, ASTM A307, ASTM A325, ASTM A490, ASTM F1554 and etc.
  2. ISO (International Organization for Standardization) – ISO 898, ISO 4014, ISO 4017, etc.
  3. DIN (Deutsches Institut für Normung) – DIN 933, DIN 931, DIN 125, etc.
  4. ASME (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) – ASME B18.2.1, ASME B18.2.2, ASME B18.5, etc.
  5. JIS (Japanese Industrial Standards) – JIS B1180 Class 4.6,JIS B1180 Class 4.8,JIS B1180 Class 5.6,JIS B1180 Class 5.8,JIS B1180 Class 6.8,JIS B1180 Class 8.8,JIS B1180 Class 9.8,JIS B1180 Class 10.9,JIS B1180 Class 12.9

  6. SAE (Society of Automotive Engineers) grade of bolts is a classification system used to specify the mechanical properties of bolts, screws, and studs used in automotive and other engineering applications. – SAE Grade 2, SAE Grade 5, SAE Grade 8

Each standard defines specific grade classifications based on factors such as material composition, mechanical properties, and other performance criteria. These grade standards help ensure that bolts are manufactured and used appropriately for their intended applications. When purchasing bolts, it’s essential to specify the required grade standard to ensure you get the appropriate bolts for your specific needs.

ASTM F1554

ASTM F1554 is a standard specification for anchor bolts used in construction and structural applications. This specification covers various grades of anchor bolts that are designed for anchoring structural supports to concrete foundations or other structural materials. The F1554 specification includes several grades of anchor bolts with different mechanical properties to suit different applications.

The F1554 standard covers anchor bolts in diameters ranging from 1/2 inch to 4 inches and is commonly used in a variety of construction projects, including buildings, bridges, highways, and other structures where anchoring to concrete or masonry is required. The different grades within the F1554 specification are designed to provide specific levels of tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation, making it easier for engineers and designers to choose the appropriate anchor bolt for their specific project needs.

ASTM F1554 covers three grades of anchor bolts:

  1. Grade 36: This grade is a low carbon, weldable steel with a minimum yield strength of 36,000 psi (250 MPa). It is commonly used for general applications where a lower strength anchor bolt is sufficient.

  2. Grade 55: This grade is a higher strength alternative to Grade 36, with a minimum yield strength of 55,000 psi (380 MPa). It is often used for applications that require higher load-carrying capacity.

  3. Grade 105: This grade is the highest strength option within ASTM F1554, with a minimum yield strength of 105,000 psi (725 MPa). It is typically used for heavy-duty applications that require the highest level of strength and load capacity.
