Tensile strength of the bolt

Symbol Rm,min
Unit MPa
Attribute-ID vdi_2230_tensil_strengt_of_the_bolt
Numeric ID 12219
Value Type PMTechValue

The tensile strength of the bolt Rm,min is specified for the strength grades in the standards DIN EN ISO 898-1 and DIN EN ISO 3506-1.

For example, the nominal value of the tensile strength is calculated for strength class 10.9 as
Rm = 10 (first number of the strength grade) x 100 N/mm2 = 1000 N/mm2.
However, the minimum value of the tensile strength, which is Rm,min = 1040 N/mm2, is used in the VDI 2230 calculation.
