The SAE bolt strength grades range from grade 2to grade 8. The higher the grade number, the greaterthe bolt strength. Identification is determined by theline marks on the top of each bolt head. The actualbolt strength grade corresponds to the number of linemarks plus 2. The most commonly used metric boltstrength classes are 9.8 and 10.9. The metricstrength class identification number is imprinted onthe head of the bolt. The higher the class number,the greater the bolt strength. Some metric nuts areimprinted with a single-digit strength class on thenut face. Refer to the Fastener Identification andFastener Strength Charts (Fig. 1) and (Fig. 2).
