Bolt GOST 7798-70 high-strength with hex head: bolt m6, m8, m10, m12, m16, m20, m24


Bolt and nut sizes

Recently, car manufacturers are increasingly using metric fasteners and moving further away from inch fasteners. But, it is important to know the difference between the sometimes used inch (also called American, or SAE standard) and the more universal metric fasteners in the system of measures, since, despite their external similarity, they are not interchangeable.

All bolts, nuts, studs and other fasteners, both inch and metric, are classified by diameter, thread pitch and length. For example, a standard 1/2 x 13 x 1 bolt is one-half inch in diameter, 13 threads per inch, and 1 inch long. A metric bolt M12 x 1.75 x 25 has a diameter thickness of 12 mm, a thread pitch of 1.75 mm (distance between threads) and a length of 25 mm. Both bolts are very similar in appearance, but are not interchangeable.

Operation of High Strength Bolts (Spheres, Areas and Examples)

The use of high-strength bolts is often found in such areas as construction, road equipment manufacturing, instrument and mechanical engineering, as well as other production-related areas. The high demand for them is due to the fact that such hardware has practically no restrictions on use and is used in toxic aggressive environments and at low temperatures (down to −60C).

High-strength fasteners can withstand both constant and variable loads, with a moving center of gravity, and even strong vibrations. Therefore, with the help of these hardware, buildings are built, industrial equipment, heavy equipment (including military) and special purpose vehicles (cranes, loaders, etc.) are manufactured.

Marking on the head of bolts and nuts

markirovka classa prochnosti boltov - How bolts and nuts are marked - explanation

In addition to the characteristics listed, both metric and imperial bolts can be identified by inspection of the head. To begin with, the distance between the flats of the head of a metric bolt is measured in mm, while for an inch bolt it is measured in inches (the same applies to determining nuts). Accordingly, a standard inch wrench will not be suitable for use with metric fasteners, and vice versa as well. In addition, the heads of most inch bolts usually have radial notches (the same marking is also used on metric bolts, but less frequently), which determine the maximum permissible tightening force of the bolt (strength class). The greater the number of notches, the higher the strength class (on cars, bolts with a strength level from 0 to 5 notches are usually used). The strength class of metric bolts is determined by a digital code (we wrote more about this in this article). The code numbers are usually cast, as for inch ones, on the head of the bolt (on cars, bolts of strength classes 8.8, 10.9, and 12.9 are usually used).

Marking of high-strength bolts according to GOST 22353-77

Strictly speaking, GOST 22353-77 today has already lost force in the Russian Federation. Instead, bolts are now made according to GOST R 52644-2006, which we will talk about below.

But, since bolts manufactured according to this GOST are still found in practice, let's see what markings were made on them and what it means.

It consists of two parts: at the top there are some alphabetic symbols, at the bottom there are numbers.

So what do the numbers and letters on the head of the bolt mean according to GOST 22353-77?

1. The letter designation at the top, which comes first, is the manufacturer’s mark (D, OC, L, Ch, WT, etc.)

2. A series of numbers following the letters is the temporary resistance of the bolt in MPa, divided by 10

3. Climatic version HL (for cold climates)

4. Melt number.

If the thread on a bolt is left-handed, then such a bolt is additionally marked with an arrow (counterclockwise), if the thread is right-handed, then the bolt is not marked with any arrow.

Dimensions/markings of inch (SAE and USS) bolts

markirvovka dyujmovyh boltov i gaek - How bolts and nuts are marked - explanation

  • G - strength class marking
  • L - length (in inches)
  • T - thread pitch (number of threads per inch)
  • D - nominal diameter (in inches)

Dimensions and markings of the strength class of metric bolts

razmery markirovka class prochnosti metricheskih boltov - How bolts and nuts are marked - explanation

  • P - strength class
  • L - length (in mm)
  • T - thread pitch (distance between adjacent turns in mm)
  • D - nominal diameter (in mm)

Also, standard nuts can be distinguished from metric ones by strength class marks. To identify the strength of standard nuts, dot marks are used that are stamped on one of the end surfaces of the nut, while metric nuts are marked using numbers. The greater the number of points, or the higher the digital code value, the higher the permissible tightening force of the nut (strength class).

Modern marking of bolts by strength

The new GOST has changed little both in the arrangement of symbols and in their semantic meaning. At the top we can still see the maker's mark. Next comes the swim number.

The strength class of the hardware is indicated below according to the new GOST. Here you can also find the letter S, which says that we have a high-strength bolt with a hex head with an increased size. The designation of the class of resistance to harmful atmospheric influences also remains. It comes last.

Marking of strength class of metric studs

markirovka class prochnosti metricheskih shpilek1 - How bolts and nuts are marked - explanation

The ends of metric studs are also marked according to their strength class. Large studs are marked with a digital code, while smaller ones are marked in the form of a geometric figure.

markirovka class prochnosti metricheskih shpilek - How bolts and nuts are marked - explanation

  • Rhombus sign - Strength class 10.9
  • PLUS sign - Strength class 9.8
  • CIRCLE sign - Strength class 8.8
  • TRIANGLE sign – — Strength class 12.9

It should be noted that a significant part of the fasteners, especially those with strength classes from 0 to 2, are not marked at all. In this case, the only way to distinguish a standard fastener from a metric one is to measure the thread pitch, or compare the thread with a uniquely identified one.

Inch fasteners are often also called, in contrast to metric, SAE standard fasteners, however, it should be remembered that only small fasteners fall under the SAE classification. Large fasteners with non-metric threads are American Standard (USS) fasteners.

Since fasteners of the same geometric size (both inch and metric) can have different strength classes, when replacing bolts, nuts and studs on a car, attention should be paid to whether the strength class of the new fastener being installed matches the strength class of the old one.

Catalog / high-strength bolt GOST 7798-70: bolts m8, m10, m12, m16, m20, m24, m27, m30

Bolt GOST 7798-70 with a hexagonal head of accuracy class B with a thread diameter from 6 to 48 is most often used in mechanical engineering, industry and construction as connection parts.
The high-strength bolt GOST 7798-70 works reliably in aggressive environments, under high-temperature loads and at low temperatures. May have a thread with a fine or large pitch.

BSR bolts are used to secure parts of building structures, pipelines, and equipment to concrete, reinforced concrete and brick structures of buildings and structures.

The most widely used bolts are M6, M8, M10, M12, M16, M20, type 1. Types 2 and 3 are made to order.

The material for the manufacture of bolts in accordance with GOST 7798-70 using the cold heading method on machines with thread rolling uses steel wire with increased manufacturing precision. Requirements for wire diameter depend on the model of the press machine and the design of the bolt.

Hole bolts having a tensile strength of 800MPa and above are called high-strength. They perceive high static and dynamic stresses. The material for this fastener is 40X steel. It is used in metallurgy, in the chemical, pharmaceutical industries, for work in the Far North and in all cases where it is necessary to ensure high joint strength.

Products without labeling

Bolts without any markings are also found. Here the immediate question is: does the manufacturer comply with GOST, do the products meet quality standards? It is better to “bypass” such fasteners altogether. If there is no other option, no one will prohibit the use of bolts without markings, but only in cases where the load on the joint will ultimately be minimal or close to it.

Don't ignore what's on the bolt head. The numbers and letters will tell you whether the products can be used, for example, in the process of repairing a car, various equipment, or the maximum they are suitable for is mounting a conventional shelf on the wall.

Comments

Steels for making bolts

Bolt Assembly Equipment

For the manufacture of high-strength fasteners, alloy carbon steel of increased strength and durability is used. Special manufacturing technologies include hot or cold heading of blanks, which significantly increase the level of strength. Mandatory heat treatment in electric furnaces gives the product anti-corrosion properties, greatly increases strength, and extends service life.

Rules for installing high-strength bolts

Before starting work, a preliminary analysis of the technical operating conditions of the future structure is always carried out. The selection of the required hardware will be influenced by the following factors:

  1. Characteristics of additional accessories.
  2. Twist factor.
  3. Correspondence of the technical and mechanical properties of the hardware to the environment in which it will work.
  4. Resistance to various external influences.
  5. Properties of the steel from which it is made.
  6. Thread pitch and type.

The conditions for the correct choice are also influenced by the size, shape of the bolt head, the presence of heat treatment and protective coating. Always start from the purposes for which you need hardware. The further procedure is as follows:

  1. The holes in the connected elements are aligned and the elements are rigidly secured using assembly plugs. Usually a tenth of the holes are secured with plugs - this is quite enough for reliable fixation.
  2. High-strength bolts are inserted into the holes free of plugs and tensioned in accordance with the rules and with the force specified in the technical documents.
  3. Then remove the assembly plugs, install the remaining bolts and tighten all the parts to the design strength. After this, the working surface can be primed.

Use a calibration wrench that allows you to control and adjust the tension of the bolts.

Application of bolts

The scope of use of hardware is huge. This connection is used in agricultural machinery for attaching attachments. In furniture making, bolts of a special design are used. This connection is used:

  • on construction sites;
  • in production;
  • in mechanical engineering;
  • in the manufacture of various devices;
  • in car assembly.

Bolted connections have virtually no limitations. Hex bolts are used to fasten beams during the construction of wooden houses. In most cases, high-strength bolts are used. They provide a reliable and durable connection.

In construction, such fasteners with enlarged heads are often used. They are used in the construction of residential buildings and industrial facilities. Connections on such hardware can be found in the construction of tunnels, bridges and other objects where tensile strength and other qualities provided by this type of connection are important.

Bolts are widely used in railway transport. Depending on the place of application, hardware of varying degrees of strength is used. They may have semicircular or square heads. Often this connection is used in the assembly of metal railway fences. To protect against aggressive environmental influences, the bolts are coated with zinc alloy.

Today it is estimated that up to 90 bolts are used in a mobile phone, up to 130 in a washing machine, and about 4000 in a car. Bolted connections are used in almost all modern mechanisms. This type of hardware plays an important role in modern prefabricated structures. Thanks to the connection they provide, the assembly of any structure does not take as much time as when using welded joints.

Heavy Duty Fasteners

The heads of such bolts can convey more useful information. It is products in this category that should be given preference. But there is a nuance: it is quite difficult to find it in regular stores. This is explained by the fact that fasteners of this class are used, as a rule, where it is necessary to achieve increased strength characteristics of units at joints. Manufacturers can apply the following markings to such bolts:

  • Maker's mark, for example, JX, THE, WT, L;
  • Heat number;
  • Strength class;
  • The symbol “S” means that the product is a bolt with six sides;
  • “ХЛ” symbols – information that the product is intended for use in cold conditions;
  • An arrow whose direction is counterclockwise indicates that the thread is left-handed (right-handed is not marked).

The above are examples. Other symbols may be present.
