No rework:
Studweldingorthrough-bolting,forexample,mayrequirereworkingofthe
protectivesurfacecoating.WiththeS-BTsystem,thestudissetintoasmall
pre-drilled hole. In case of a pilot hole the drill entry point is then completely sealed
bythestudwasherduringsetting.Iftherealbasematerialthicknesst

6mm[0.24"]noreworkoftheprotectivesurfacecoatingonthebacksideis

Simple and fast:
Aminimalamountoftrainingisallthatisrequiredforausertobeabletoinstallup
to100studsperhour.
High corrosion resistance:
ThestainlesssteelS-BTfastenersaremadefromtheduplexstainlesssteeltype
1.4462,whichisequivalenttoAISI316(A4)and318LNsteelgradeandsuitablefor
aggressiveenvironmentslikeincoastalandoffshoreapplications.
The coating of the carbon steel S-BT fasteners consists of an electroplated
Zn-alloyforcathodicprotectionandatopcoatforchemicalresistance(Duplex-
coating).Theuseofthiscoatingislimitedtoindoorenvironmentsandoutdoor
(nocoastal)environmentswithlowpollution.Refertosection5.10forselectionof
thesuitablefastenerintermsofcorrosion.
High tension and shear load values:
S-BTdeliversperformancecomparabletomethodssuchasstudwelding.
See load data tables in section 3.2 for details.
Fasten to all steel shapes:
Unlikeclamps,whicharelimitedbythecongurationofthebasesteel,theS-BT
isidealforuseonhollowsections,channelsections,wideangesandangles.
