Pre-Engineered Steel Buildings
Mild Steel Hex Head Bolts & Nuts
Mild steel hex bolts are fasteners used for joining two or more components together. They are made from mild steel, a low-carbon steel known for its strength, affordability, and ease of machinability.MS hex bolts have a hexagonal head, providing six sides that can be easily gripped and turned with a wrench or socket. Mild steel hex bolts offer moderate strength suitable for many general-purpose applications.MS hex bolts find application in various industries and projects, such as construction, automotive, machinery, and general repairs. They are used to securely fasten components together, including metal-to-metal or metal-to-wood connections.When using MS hex bolts, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application, including load, environment, and corrosion resistance. Selecting the appropriate bolt size, thread type, and torque is crucial for ensuring a reliable and secure connection.
High Tensile Fasteners
High tensile fasteners are commonly used in various applications to ensure strong and reliable connections between different components of the wagons. These specialized fasteners offer the necessary strength and durability required to withstand the demanding conditions that wagons encounter during their service life. High tensile bolts and nuts are used to assemble the chassis and frame of the wagon. High tensile bolts and nuts are used in the suspension systems of wagons to hold together various components, such as springs, shock absorbers, and linkages. Fasteners with high tensile strength are used to secure braking components in place, ensuring efficient and reliable braking performance when needed. High tensile bolts and nuts are used to join together the panels and body components of the wagon. They help maintain the structural integrity of the wagon’s body while also resisting vibrations and external forces.
8.8 Grade Fasteners
Grade 8.8 fasteners are commonly used in various applications, including prefabricated structures. These fasteners are made from medium carbon steel and have been heat-treated to achieve their specified mechanical properties.
These fasteners are known for their reliability and durability. They can withstand significant loads and provide long-term stability to prefabricated structures, ensuring the safety of occupants.Using high-strength fasteners like Grade 8.8 reduces the risk of fastener failure, which is especially important in structures where the consequences of failure can be severe. Prefabricated structures often require tight connections and joints to maintain their structural integrity during transportation, assembly, and throughout their lifespan.While Grade 8.8 fasteners may be more expensive than lower-grade options, they offer a cost-effective solution when considering their strength and longevity. They can help reduce maintenance and replacement costs over the life of the structure.
High Strength Friction Grip Fasteners
High Strength Friction Grip (HSFG) fasteners, also known as high-strength structural bolts, are frequently used in prefabricated structures for various reasons. HSFG fasteners are designed to provide high tensile and shear strength. This strength is crucial in prefabricated structures where the connections must bear heavy loads and maintain structural integrity.HSFG fasteners require controlled tightening using torque or tensioning methods, ensuring consistent and reliable connections. This precision is essential in prefabrication to achieve accurate and predictable results during assembly.HSFG fasteners are typically made from high strength steel and are highly durable, capable of withstanding harsh environmental conditions and potential stresses during transportation and installation.The friction grip mechanism of HSFG fasteners prevents relative motion between connected components under load. This feature is particularly valuable in prefabricated structures, where stability and safety are paramount.HSFG fasteners are designed for long-term reliability, reducing the need for maintenance and repairs in prefabricated structures, which is especially advantageous for structures in remote or inaccessible locations.
