To measure accurate preload, service load and overload of bolted assemblies
For maximum uniformity, efficiency and reliability in bolted assemblies
For effective research, testing and manufacturing of bolted assemblies
Allowable Loads
Allowable loads for Strainsert Hex Head Cap Screws, as tabulated below, are based on approximately 70% Yield Strength of the threads, in pounds.
| Load Capacity Lbs. | ||
| Screw Dia. | Load | |
| 1/4-20NC | 900 | |
| 5/16-18NC | 1500 | |
| 3/8-16NC | 2200 | |
| 1/2-13NC | 4000 | |
| 5/8-11NC | 6500 | |
| 3/4-10NC | 10000 | |
Each cap screw is calibrated to above indicated load as part of quality control procedure. See calibration section for additional calibration certification.
