Din en Iso 898-1 DIN EN 20 898-2: Strength Values
Features
The strength class identification number consists of two numerals:
•T
he first number corresponds to 1 /100 of the nominal tensile strength in N/mm2 (see table)
• T he second number shows ten times the ratio of lower yield point ReL (or 0.2 %-yield limit Rp 0,2)
to the nominal tensile strength Rm, nom (yield point ratio).
Example: Strength class 5.8 means:
Minimum tensile strength Rm = 500 N/mm2,
Minimum yield point ReL = 400 N/mm2
Also, multiplying both numerals results in 1 /10 of the yield point in N/mm2.
Features
The designation of a strength class consists of a identification number which provides information on the test tension of
the material used:
Identification number x 100 = Test tension Sp
The test tension is equal to the minimum tensile strength in N/mm2 of a screw which, if paired with the appropriate nut, can
be loaded up to the minimum yield point of the screw.
Example: Screw 8.8 – Nut 8, connection can be loaded up to the minimum yield point of the screw.
