ASTM F606-2 is the metric (F606M) companion for determining the mechanical properties of externally and internally threaded metric fasteners. To match this to your program, talk with our team.
What ASTM F606-2 Covers
It defines proof load, tensile, wedge tensile, and hardness tests for metric bolts, screws, studs, and nuts within the F606 framework.
How the Test Is Run
Metric fasteners are proof loaded or pulled to failure using suitable fixtures, and the measured performance is compared against the product specification.
Why It Matters
Verified fastener strength underpins joint safety; high-force grips, wedge fixtures, and metric threaded adapters are essential.
