The Applied Technical Services Family of Companies (ATS FoC) offers ASTM F606/F606M testing to assess the mechanical properties and performance of threaded fasteners, washers, direct tension indicators, and related components. ASTM F606/F606M specifies standardized procedures for evaluating fastener properties through tensile, hardness, proof load, wedge tensile, and other tests. These evaluations enable manufacturers, engineers, and quality control teams to verify fastener performance and ensure compliance with material and production specifications.
What Types of Fasteners Can ASTM F606/F606M Testing Evaluate?
ASTM F606/F606M applies to a wide range of mechanical fasteners and related components. Our laboratory evaluates fasteners based on their dimensions, materials, configurations, and performance requirements. We test the following types of fasteners:
- Externally threaded fasteners
- Internally threaded fasteners
- Washers and direct tension indicators
- Studs and specialized fastening components
Our testing programs address a variety of fastener sizes and configurations, using appropriate procedures for each type. This approach ensures manufacturers and engineers receive reliable performance data for critical applications.

What Mechanical Properties Does ASTM F606/F606M Testing Measure?
ASTM F606/F606M testing measures key mechanical properties that determine a fastener’s suitability for its intended application. Depending on the test method and fastener type, evaluations include:
- Tensile strength
- Proof load
- Hardness
- Elongation
- Wedge tensile performance
Wedge tensile testing also evaluates fastener head and shank integrity. These results help engineers assess strength, ductility, load capacity, and mechanical integrity, and identify inconsistencies related to material selection, heat treatment, or manufacturing.
