It is obvious from the following chart that high tensile bolt of property class 8.8 is approximately
four times stronger than an ordinary mild steel bolt of property class 4.6. This extra strength of
high tensile bolts can be used to upgrade an assembled joint from a low tensile one to high
tensile one to gain all the advantage described.
Advantage :
Reduced number of bolts. * Reduced bolt size. *Less numbers of holes.
Reduced size of holes. *Reduced assembly cost. *Reduced maintenance cost.

In expanding use of constructional steel, particularly in bridges and other structures where the
weight of the structure itself is extremely important initiated to use a bolt with higher strength and
heavy hex than those of normal high tensile bolts.

Higher value for your money

Cost of fasteners is disproportionate with their utility. Consequently, the reliability of 95%
cost, of the project resets on 5% cost of the fastners giving them high value responsibility
in structural joints.
The IPC cost (In Place Coast), for a given joint, can be reduced be using lesser bolts or
smaller diameter bolts. This can only be done through smaller fasteners with tensile
strength.

Grade 8.8 means , Approx. 800 MPa TS and 640 MPa yield strength( you will arrive at the YS by
multiplying the both the numbers times 10. That is 8x8x10=640)
Similarly , 10.9 means approx.1000 MPa TS and 900 MPa yield strength. I have given below the
exact details.
