Technical Menu Posted on July 1st, 2015 by vaproASTM’s fastener standards are instrumental in specifying, testing, and evaluating the material, mechanical, and metallurgical properties of the various forms of fasteners, and bolting materials. The primary function of these components are used to mechanically join or affix an array of industrial products together, and come in many forms which include bolts, nuts, studs, screws, washers, eyebolts, nails, rivets and other connecting components. These fastener standards allow hardware product manufacturers, as well as the end-users of such products, to examine and assess fasteners to ensure their strength and quality towards safe utilization.
