We are delighted to have received a very complimentary account of one of our customer’s experience with one of our excellent sales assistants, Newton. He is absolutely delighted and thrilled to be recognised in this manner. This is what our customer said:
The length of a bolt or a screw is measured from the point at which the head sits flat with the material surface up until the tip of the threads. Bolts with hexagon heads are measured from under the head to the end of the threads.
Measure the threaded part on the outside of the threads using a Vernier caliper if possible, and clamping the calipers against the outside of the threads. Do not measure the head of the bolt or the screw.
When you need to buy stainless steel fasteners, it is a good idea to know as much as you can about them to help you make the right choice for your project or intended application. This is important since it makes it easier for you to understand what you can expect out of them. So rather than the risk of wasting money or advising a customer incorrectly, read on, particularly if the intended use is for the long term.
Most people use fasteners without giving a second thought as to how they came about, and what they were used for in the past. In fact, most people imagine that fasteners are a very recent invention. At first glance, a bolt may seem like a very simple item that holds things together. But dig a bit deeper and you’ll realise there’s more behind seemingly insignificant bolts and screws than first meets the eye. Without them, all our gadgets and machines would fall to pieces. The truth is that these devices have been in place for quite a long time, and have played a major role in defining how human history has progressed over time.
