Where this grade is used

Property classes are stamped on the head of bolts and screws above 5 mm diameter. A Property Class 5.8 fastener is specified where the joint needs a proof load of roughly 378 MPa or less. Always match the bolt class with a nut of class 5 or higher so the bolt fails before the thread strips.
