EN ISO 898-5 Fasteners Made of Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel - Set Screws and Similar Threaded Fasteners

EUROLAB, with its state-of-the-art accredited laboratories and expert team, offers precise and rapid testing services within the scope of EN ISO 898-5 testing. This part of EN ISO 898 specifies the mechanical and physical properties of setscrews and similar threaded fasteners made of carbon steel or alloy steel when tested in the ambient temperature range of 10°C to 35°C.

EN ISO 898-5 Fasteners Made of Carbon Steel and Alloy Steel - Set Screws and Similar Threaded Fasteners

Fasteners complying with the requirements of this part of EN ISO 898 (the term used when set screws and similar threaded fasteners are considered together) are evaluated in this ambient temperature range.

Fasteners conforming to this part of EN ISO 898 are classified into specific hardness classes and are designed for use under compressive stress only.

This part of ISO 898 applies to set screws and similar threaded fasteners:

  • Made of carbon steel or alloy steel;
  • Triangular ISO metric thread according to ISO 68-1;
  • M1,6 to M30 with coarse pitch thread and M8×1 to M30×2 with fine pitch thread;
  • With diameter/pitch combinations in accordance with ISO 261 and ISO 262;
  • It has thread tolerances in accordance with ISO 965-1 and ISO 965-2.

It does not specify requirements for the following features:

  • Tensile strength;
  • shear strength;
  • Weldability;
  • Corrosion resistance or;
  • Ability to withstand temperatures above +150°C or below -50°C.

This part of EN ISO 898 does not mandate which tests the manufacturer must carry out on each production batch. It is the manufacturer's responsibility to apply appropriate methods of his choice, such as in-process testing or inspection, to ensure that the batch produced meets all applicable requirements.

The purpose of this test is to determine whether the surface of a quenched and tempered fastener is carburized during heat treatment. The difference between base metal hardness and surface hardness is decisive in evaluating the carburization state in the surface layer.
