Standard table for screw lengths

● Standard tables in the database:

– DIN/EN:

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 1 > B40 > A20 Bolt length"

– ANSI/ASME

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 10 > B40 > A20 Bolt length"

Similar to the standard table for nominal diameters, the following applies:
– New values are appended to the end of the list.
– Do not move or delete existing entries.

● The standard table is used in the following places:

– In the "standard geometry tables" standard catalog

"@30 > M23 > A10 > Y30 > A10 Standard geometry tables"

– At the bolts, nuts, and washers in the pipe part catalog.

Standard table of strength grades for screws and nuts

● Standard table in the database:

– DIN/EN:

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 1 > B40 > A30 Strength grade bolts acc

DIN2507"

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 1 > B40 > A40 Strength grade nuts acc

ISO 898-2"

– ANSI/ASME:

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 10 > B40 > A30 Property classes of bolts

according to ASME"

"Standard tables > Y10 > M20 > Y30 > A10 > 10 > B40 > A40 Property classes of nuts

according to ASME"

● The standard table is used in the following places:

– In the PipeSpec Designer on the "Characteristics" tab.
– In the properties of screws and nuts, "Attributes > Part description" tab.

Standard table for bolted types

● Standard table in the database:

"Standard tables > Y10 > M23 > A20 > Y10M23N00028 Bolted types"

● The standard table is used in the flanges of the pipe part catalog, on the "3D geometry" tab.
