    The document discusses standards organizations that specify requirements for cap screws and how they are graded. The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) and American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) both create specifications covering the chemical and mechanical requirements for threaded fasteners. The majority of hex head cap screws used are SAE-specified and graded by strength levels marked on the head. A table shows the various SAE and ASTM cap screw grades, their specifications, tensile strengths, hardness levels and head markings.

    Identification and Measurement

    1: Identifying Cap Screw Grades

    The Society of Automotive Engineers (SAE) has created specications that cover chemical and
    mechanical requirements for threaded and non-threaded fasteners as are used widely within automotive
    and other industries.
    The American Society of Testing and Materials (ASTM) has created specications that cover chemical
    and mechanical requirements for fasteners used in engineering applications, such as structural bolts
    used in building.
    In the overall MRO (Maintenance Repair Operations) market, the wide majority of the hex head cap
    screws used are covered by SAE specications. These cap screws are graded by the SAE by strength
    levels, and are head-marked to reect the SAE grade and strength (See Table 3.1.1).
