Bolt grade

Specify bolt size (Metric only) Specify tread pitch Specify thread friction (if possible please use chart 1 below) OD of contactact area = outer diameter of contact area between NL washer and nut/bolt head ID of contactact area = inner diameter of contact area between NL washer and nut/bolt head Specify washer friction (if possible use chart 1 below) Specify yield point of bolt (if possible use chart 2 below) Specify ratio of the bolt's yield point (%)
