Rotational Capacity Test
By Rotational Capacity Test Overview The Rotational Capacity test’s main purpose to test A325 & A490 high-strength bolt, nut & washer, as an assembly, to show the presence of lubrication, on galvanized nuts. The Rotational Capacity test or RC test can also test the assembly’s strength (tension,) ductility, and thread strength (threads resistance to strip.) To preform […]
ASTM F1554-15
Scope This specification covers straight, bent, headed and headless anchor bolts/rods made of carbon, medium carbon boron, alloy, or high-strength low alloy steel. Anchor bolts are used for anchoring structural supports (ie columns/sign structures) to concrete foundations. This specification does not cover mechanical expansion anchors, powder-activated nails/studs or anchor bolts fabricated from deformed bar (rebar.) […]

Box Bolts
Box Bolt – is an expansion bolt for structural steel connections to hollow section steel or where there is a “blind connection,” where you only have access to one side of the connection. As the bolt head is tightened, the cone is pulled up the bolt thread, causing the legs of the sleeve to expand until the cone locks the sleeve […]
Hollo-Bolts
Hollo-Bolt – an expansion bolt for Structural Hollow Sections (SHS/HSS) with “blind connections,” when you only have access to one side of the connection. As the bolt head is tightened, the cone is pulled up the bolt thread, causing the legs of the sleeve to expand until the cone locks the sleeve against the inner wall of the hollow section.Available in […]
Vertical Ferrule
Vertical Ferrule – used when shooting weld studs to a column. A vertical ferrule has half moon shape, with slots along the top half and none along the bottom. The design of the vertical ferrule is such that the lack of slots along the bottom prevent the molten material from dripping down your column during […]
Bridge Lube Nuts
