Basic web searching indicates that these fastener grades are dictated
by the SAE and that the SAE Handbook (I found it for sale online for
$475) would have those specs. Check local reference libraries, both
community and university. Unfortunately, my local university
(indiana.edu) doesn't teach engineering, so I could almost guarantee
I'd have to make a roadtrip to purdue.edu look this up in a reference
volume. That's life in the sticks, I guess.
Anybody on the list got a copy handy?
Also, Carroll Smith warns in his book Nuts, Bolts, Fasteners and
Plumbing that there is no certification of most fasteners sold and
that many are weaker than they should be. That's why he advocates AN
series fasteners.
