required details calculation for hilti 5.8 vs 8.8 grade
Hi Mr. Patil, Thanks for asking the question.
The first digit of the grade relates to the ultimate tensile strength of the material (steel) and the second is the ratio of yield stress to ultimate stress, which means, 5.8 grade steel has an Ultimate Tensile Strength of 500 N/mm2 and the yield stress is 80% of the ultimate strength (500 x 0.8 = 400 N/mm2).
Similarly, 8.8 grade steel has an Ultimate Tensile Strength of 800 N/mm2 and Yield Stress as 640 N/mm2.
