ISO 898 is a testing standard used to measure the mechanical and physical properties of steel fasteners at both ambient and non-ambient temperature. Steel fasteners are an extremely common component of many consumer goods and are also critical to the construction and aerospace industries. The standard classifies various bolts and screws as either ‘finished’ or ‘material’ and includes test methods specific to each of these classifications.

ISO 898 references reputable metals standards such as ISO 6892 for performing these tests in a controlled and stringent manner.

Materials Testing System

Testing of steel components requires a high capacity universal testing machine such as HST WDW-E Series electromechanical UTM or WAW-E servo-hydraulic UTM, with bolts/nuts test grips
