| Inspect Item | Detail |
|---|---|
| Dimensional Inspection | Critical dimensions such as bolt diameter, head width, head height, bolt length and thread length are checked using calibrated measuring equipment. Inspection is carried out according to the applicable dimensional standard or customer drawings to ensure consistent fit and interchangeability. |
| Thread Inspection | External threads are inspected using calibrated GO and NO-GO thread gauges to verify thread profile, pitch and dimensional conformity. Additional measurements can be performed when tighter thread tolerances or specific customer requirements apply. |
| Mechanical Testing | Mechanical properties are verified according to the specified material and strength grade. Depending on the applicable standard, testing may include tensile strength, yield strength, hardness and other required mechanical tests, with test results documented in the relevant inspection or material reports. |
| Surface & Coating Inspection | Bolt surfaces are inspected for appearance, defects, coating uniformity and other specified requirements. For coated fasteners, coating thickness and adhesion or other applicable coating characteristics can be checked according to the specified surface treatment standard. |
| Final Inspection & Testing | Before shipment, finished hex bolts undergo final inspection to confirm dimensions, thread quality, mechanical requirements, surface condition, marking and packaging. Inspection records and test reports can be provided according to the order specification and customer requirements. |
