General comments
ThedesignintentisthatthenutcanberemovedwithouttheS-BTstudunscrewing
fromthebasematerial.Toincreasethelooseningtorqueofthestudfromthebase
material,thestainlesssteelandcarbonsteelS-BTfastenersareequippedwitha
“microencapsulation”onthetappingthread.Thishelpstoincreasetheloosening
torquecomparedtouncoatedfasteners.
Test concept
Thetestprogramincludedinsummary100specimenfor20testseries.Various
coatingtypeshavebeentestedincombinationwithvariablethreadintersections.
Theinuenceofthescrew-indepthwastestedforthecompletescrew-indepth
rangeoftheS-BTfastener.Asanalparameter,theinuenceofthemaximumand
minimumbasematerialstrengthwastested.
Test results
Thread intersection: For all tested thread intersections an increase of the
looseningtorquewasvisibleduetothecoating.
Screw-in depth:Basedonthetestresults,theeffectofthegluecoatingdecreased
withlowerscrew-indepth.
Base material strength:Nosignicantinuencecouldbefound.
Conclusions
•For6mmbasematerial,alooseningtorqueof3.6to4.6Nmcanbeachieved.
•For5mmbasematerial,alooseningtorqueof2.5to3.6Nmcanbeachieved
•Reusingthestudisprohibitedduetothewearof“microencapsulation”and
potentialthreadwear.
Note: The“microencapsulation”hasnoimpactonthepull-outloadcapacityof
theS-BTfastener.Theapplicationtemperaturerangeforthe“microencapsulation”
is–55°Cupto+150°C.
Theinstallationtemperatureofthebasematerialmustbe> +4°C(forthecuring
processofthegluecoating).
Thissummaryisintendedtoberepresentativeofthetest(s)carriedout.Itisnotintendedtobeafulland
complete test report.
