I heard that a few missed the handout for the Bolts and Gaskets presentation.
Below is a link that will get you a *.pdf of the slides.

<https://www.dropbox.com/s/3s5k6e0tm223ycb/fasteners.pdf?dl=0>

I am expecting this to be published on the GMCMI site when time permits.
If you have questions, there is an @ddress on the cover page.

Great presentation. Explains some of the things I "knew". Dismisses some of the things I thought I "knew".

Now what I would like to find out is: What grade of fastener to use for what application. I believe (but can't measure so it is an opinion) that, as stated, fastener grades are not interchangeable. Why?

Is there a website that can explain that in a way normal mortals can understand?

Steve,

You asked two separate questions, so I will try to use the extremes of the first to make the issue clear.
If you use a Gr.2 in an assembly that requires a Gr.8, it may simply fail at the operation load.
=> Simple enough - Right? But wait....
If you use a Gr.8 where a Gr.2 was expected, and someone identifies it as such and tries to tension it to the higher spec, the threads may get ripped right out of a critical casting. Manufactures (good ones) actually design the thread engagement so that the fastener will (hopefully) fail before this happens.

As for an answer for your second....
Sorry, none that I know of.

Matt

So, if I use a Gr8 instead of a Gr5, should I torque it to the Gr5 spec?
Or is that not going to stretch the Gr8 enough?

Matt, I'm happy that you were able to put on a tech session on topics that you know very well and I know next to nothing. I enjoyed it and learned quite a bit.

Bolts stretch the same at a given load no matter what their strength. All
steels have a similar stiffness even if the strength is different.

Tighten to the specs established for the application (that is, the bolt the
assembly was designed to use).

Right. Look at the stress-strain diagrams in Matt's presentation and
you'll see that all grades have the same slope up to their yield values.
