ULTIMATE LOAD VALUES Tensile and Shear
- Overall length of fastener is measured from the underside of the head to bottom of the tip. See Figure 1.
- Length of thread includes tip. See detailed illustration, Figure 1.
- Minor thread, shank and outside thread diameters are shown in table without manufacturing tolerances.
- Bending yield strength determined in accordance with ASTM D 1575 using the minor thread diameter.
