Fastener Terms and Abbreviations
Below are three ways of describing the same fastener:1. 1/4 – 20 UNC Class 2A x 1 Hex Head Cap Screw per ASME B18.2.1,
Grade 5 per SAE J429, Zinc/Clear plated per ASTM B633 2. 1/4 - 20 x 1 Hex Cap Screw, Gr 5, Zn3. 1/4 x 1 Hex Bolt, NC, 5, Z
Metric Fasteners: M10 x 50 Hex Bolt, Property Class 8.8, YWhat it means: They want a 10mm diameter hex head cap screw with a coarse thread (1.5mm) that is made from a property class 8.8 steel and is
plated zinc with yellow chromate.
The last three pages of this slide show contains a list of common abbreviations used when customers describe fasteners.

Torque Calculations for FastenersStandard industry practice for calculating torque for a fastener assembly is to use the formula
Torque = Clamp Load x Diameter x Friction Factor / 12 (T=PxDxK/12)
The desired clamp load is usually based on 75% of the Yield Strength (or Proof Load Strength) of the threaded fastener usedin the assembly (the nut used should be compatible with the strength of the threaded component). The Friction Factor is based on the surface finish of the two components being assembled. If both components have a plain steel finish then the Friction Factor(K) is assumed to be .20. The use of lubricants on the threads can reduce the Friction Factor to .12 and the addition of platings that do not slide across each other well can increase the Friction Factor to .22 (for zinc plating).The table listed below shows the recommended clamp loads for Grade 2, 5 and 8 assemblies (per SAE J429 and J995).
