Navigating Global Fastener Standards: Understanding GB/T Equivalents for Efficient Sourcing-Zhejiang Zhongrui Auto Parts Co., Ltd.

In today's interconnected world, understanding and managing different fastener standards is crucial for efficient sourcing and seamless integration into your products. This newsletter highlights the equivalents and key differences between the Chinese GB/T standard and other prominent international standards for Hex Flange Bolts M8. Understanding these nuances can significantly streamline your supply chain and reduce potential complications.

Decoding GB/T Equivalents for M8 Hex Flange Bolts:
Below is a concise overview based on our technical specifications for M8 Hex Flange Bolts:

Technical Specifications for Hex Flange Bolts M8	Material	Mechanical Properties	Dimensional Compatibility	Surface Treatment	Equivalent/Reference	Key Differences
GB/T 5787-2016	35CrMo Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,040 MPa	Metric (M8×1.25)	Electrogalvanized/Phosphated	Baseline	N/A
		- Yield: ≥940 MPa
DIN 6921	34CrMo4 Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,040 MPa	Metric (M8×1.25)	Hot-Dip Galvanized/Plain	Reference	Coating standards differ (DIN 267 vs. GB/T 5267).
		- Yield: ≥940 MPa
ISO 4161	42CrMo4 Alloy Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,040 MPa	Metric (M8×1.25)	Zinc Plated/Dacromet/Black Oxide	Equivalent	Material composition (42CrMo4 vs. 35CrMo) and coating options differ.
		- Yield: ≥940 MPa
ASME B18.2.3.5M	ASTM A490 Alloy Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,035 MPa	Inch (5/16"-18 UNF)	Zinc Plated/Plain	Reference	Thread standard (UNF vs. metric), material certification (ASTM A490 vs. 35CrMo).
		- Yield: ≥940 MPa
JIS B1180	SCM435 Alloy Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,040 MPa	Metric (M8×1.25)	Zinc Flake Coated	Equivalent	Coating method (zinc flake vs. electrogalvanized), JIS-specific testing protocols.
		- Yield: ≥940 MPa
BS 3692	EN8 Medium Carbon Steel	- Tensile: ≥1,000 MPa	Metric (M8×1.25)	Plain/Geomet Coated	Reference	Lower tensile strength; UK-specific dimensional tolerances.
		- Yield: ≥900 MPa

Standard	Relationship	Action Required
ISO 4161	Direct Equivalent	None
JIS B1180	Direct Equivalent	None
DIN 6921	Reference	Verify flange dimensions and coating specifications per DIN 267.
ASME B18.2.3.5M	Reference	Convert thread specifications (metric to UNF) and validate ASTM A490 compliance.
BS 3692	Reference	Adjust for lower tensile strength and confirm UK market requirements.

Streamlining Your Supply Chain with GB/T Equivalents:
Understanding these relationships empowers you to potentially utilize our readily available and competitively priced GB/T standard Hex Flange Bolts M8 in your global projects.

For ISO 4161 and JIS B1180, the direct equivalence in dimensions and mechanical properties offers a straightforward substitution option, simplifying your sourcing and inventory management.

For standards marked as "Reference" (DIN 6921, ASME B18.2.3.5M, and BS 3692), careful consideration of the noted key differences is essential. While dimensional compatibility might exist in some cases (like the metric thread for DIN and BS), variations in coating specifications, thread types (for ASME), material composition, and mechanical strength (for BS) require validation to ensure they meet your specific application requirements.

By exploring GB/T equivalent options, you can:

Broaden your supplier base: Access a reliable and competitive source in China.
Potentially reduce procurement costs: Benefit from our efficient manufacturing and pricing.
Optimize inventory management: Streamline your BOM with readily available alternatives.
Enhance supply chain resilience: Diversify your sourcing to mitigate risks.
