How do metric strength grades correspond to the inch strength grades?
Some details on conversion guidance between metric and inch based strength grades is given in section 3.4 of the standard SAE J1199 (Mechanical and Material Requirements for Metric Externally Threaded Steel Fasteners).Metric fastener strength is denoted by a property class which is equivalent to a strength grade. Briefly:Class 4.6 is approximately equivalent to SAE J429 Grade 1 and ASTM A307 Grade AClass 5.8 is approximately equivalent to SAE J429 Grade 2Class 8.8 is approximately equivalent to SAE J429 Grade 5 and ASTM A449Class 9.8 is approximately 9% stronger than equivalent to SAE J429 Grade 5 and ASTM A449Class 10.9 is approximately equivalent to SAE J429 Grade 8 and ASTM A354 Grade BDFor information there is no direct inch equivalent to the metric 12.9 property class.
