Several Common Classifications Of Bolts

According to the force of the connection, it is divided into ordinary and hinged holes. According to the shape of the head: there are hexagonal head, round head, square head, countersunk head and so on. Among them, the hexagonal head is the most commonly used. Generally, countersunk heads are used where connections are required.

The English name of the riding bolt is U-bolt. It is a non-standard part. The shape is U-shaped, so it is also called a U-bolt. There are threads on both ends that can be combined with nuts. It is mainly used to fix tubular objects such as water pipes or sheets such as automobile plates. Springs are called riding bolts because of the way they fix things like a person rides a horse. According to the length of the thread, it is divided into two categories: full thread and non-full thread.

According to the thread type, it is divided into two types: coarse thread and fine thread. The coarse thread type is not displayed in the bolt mark. The bolts are divided into eight grades: 3.6, 4.8, 5.6, 6.8, 8.8, 9.8, 10.9, and 12.9 according to their performance grades. Among them, the bolts above grade 8.8 (including grade 8.8) are made of low-carbon alloy steel or medium-carbon steel and are heat-treated (quenched). + Tempering), commonly known as high-strength bolts, and below grade 8.8 (excluding 8.8) are commonly known as ordinary bolts.

Ordinary bolts can be divided into three grades: A, B, and C according to the production accuracy. Grades A and B are refined bolts, and grade C is rough bolts. For connecting bolts for steel structures, unless otherwise specified, they are generally ordinary rough grade C bolts. There are differences in the processing methods of different grades. Usually the corresponding processing methods are as follows: ① The bolts of grade A and B bolts are processed by lathes, with smooth surfaces and accurate dimensions. High, rarely used; ②C-grade bolts are made of unmachined round steel, the size is not accurate enough, and its material property grade is 4.6 or 4.8. The deformation is large during shear connection, but the installation is convenient and the production cost is low. It is mostly used for tensile connection or temporary fixation during installation.
