Bolt Grades
The bolt types are available in varied grades and class options. Each grade is having its distinctive head marking and it is the primary indicator of its use. The bolts are made of different grades of steel and the grades are to determine the maximum amount of stress handles by bolts. The process of tightening bolts depends on the grade of the bolt.

Proof Load - is referred to the amount of tensile stress that a bolt withstands without any permanent deformation.
Yield Strength - is the amount of tensile stress need for a permanent deformation on a bolt.
Tensile Strength - is referred to as the maximum amount of pull apart that can take place before the break or fracturing of a bolt.
