The English, inch strength classes range from grade 2
to grade 8. Radial lines are embossed on the head of
each bolt in order to identify the strength class. The
number of lines on the head of the bolt is 2 lines less
than the actual grade. For example, a grade 8 bolt will
have 6 radial lines on the bolt head. Some metric nuts
are marked with a single digit strength identification
