Notes:
• Proof loads are per SAE J429 and ISO 898 respectively. Yield (Proof) Strengths
• Shaded inch sizes are not directly covered by SAE J429, but are calculated appropriately. SAE Grade 5 85,000 psi
• Clamp load is approximately 75% proof load. SPIROL strongly recommends not to SAE Grade 8 120,000 psi
exceed 75% of proof load. If the bolt is torqued all the way to proof, the bolt will fail.
