The Breaking Loads guide from Allfast Solutions NZ explains how fasteners perform under stress. Knowing a bolt’s breaking load helps you select the right product for strength, safety, and reliability. It’s essential information for engineers, builders, and anyone working with structural connections.
In simple terms, breaking load is the maximum force a fastener can withstand before it fails. Understanding this value helps you prevent over-tightening, material fatigue, and joint failure. By using our reference, you can match fasteners to load requirements with confidence and accuracy.
Our Breaking Loads page includes:
Charts comparing tensile and yield strength by grade
Safe working load calculations and examples
Differences between static and dynamic load conditions
Guidance for selecting suitable fasteners for each environment
Conversion tables for Newtons, kilograms, and kilonewtons
Tips for achieving safe torque levels during installation
Moreover, each table follows recognised ISO and AS/NZS standards, ensuring the data reflects real-world testing. These figures are especially useful for structural steel fabrication, heavy machinery, and critical construction work where strength and safety are non-negotiable.
At Allfast Solutions NZ, we know that reliable data supports safer builds. Therefore, we provide transparent technical information alongside every product. Understanding not only improves project safety but also helps extend equipment life by preventing overstressing of components.
For further reading on international fastener strength classifications and testing methods, visit the International Organization for Standardization (ISO). This standard outlines the requirements used worldwide to determine fastener performance.
In summary, this Breaking Loads guide gives you practical knowledge to choose correctly, install safely, and build with total confidence — no matter the load.
