  1 Where no thread pitch is indicated in a thread designation, coarse pitch is specified.
  2 For fasteners with thread tolerance 6az per ISO 965-4, subject to hot dip galvanizing, reduced values per ISO 10684
  3 For structural bolting 70 000 N (for M12), 95 500 N (for M14) and 130 000 N (for M16).
