HSFG Bolts vs. Regular Bolts: Key Differences Explained
HSFG (High Strength Friction Grip) bolts and regular bolts transfer load differently. HSFG bolts are tightened to a controlled preload, creating clamping friction between joined steel plates so the connection resists slip under service load — making them ideal for bridges,...
