China Classification Society Fasteners - Reliable Suppliers & Factory for Marine Engineering Applications
Products Features
ðĐ
1. Material Selection
In high-temperature environments (>200â), 42CrMo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (such as A193 B7) should be used. It can withstand temperatures up to 480â and has a tensile strength of âĨ860 MPa.
Extremely cold environments (<-50â) recommend A320 L7 material with nickel-chromium-molybdenum composite strengthening.
ð
2. Anti-Loosening Technology
Wedge-shaped lock washers (such as the Nord-Lock system) are used. The geometric structure with a slope angle greater than the thread rise angle is adopted to prevent vibration loosening. Radial fine teeth form indentations on the contact surface.
â ïļ The creep vibration test is used to verify anti-loosening performance and is applicable to scenarios with dynamic loads such as wind turbine towers and ship decks.
Application
Classification Society Fasteners (Certified Shipbuilding Fasteners) are specialized fasteners rigorously certified by international ship classification societies (such as DNV, ABS, LR, etc.). Their application fields mainly focus on ships, marine engineering, and related industries.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
â
What materials are recommended for fasteners used in high-temperature environments above 200â?
For high-temperature environments exceeding 200â, 42CrMo chromium-molybdenum alloy steel (such as A193 B7) is recommended. This material can withstand temperatures up to 480â and offers a tensile strength of âĨ860 MPa, making it suitable for demanding thermal applications.
â
How does the Nord-Lock wedge-shaped lock washer system prevent loosening?
The Nord-Lock system uses a geometric structure with a slope angle greater than the thread rise angle, which mechanically resists vibration-induced loosening. Additionally, radial fine teeth create indentations on the contact surface, providing a secure clamping effect that is verified through creep vibration tests.
â
Which classification societies certify shipbuilding fasteners, and what standards must they meet?
Shipbuilding fasteners are certified by internationally recognized classification societies such as DNV, ABS, and LR. Fasteners used in ship structure connections must comply with ISO 3506-3 standards, requiring a salt spray corrosion resistance grade of âĨ720 hours to ensure long-term durability in marine environments.
â
What fastener material is suitable for LNG storage tanks operating at -196â?
For LNG storage tank installations requiring operation at -196â, low-temperature flange bolts made from nickel-based alloys such as Inconel 718 are recommended. These materials maintain structural integrity and sealing performance under extreme cryogenic conditions.
â
What are the key requirements for fasteners used in offshore wind turbine towers?
Foundation ring bolts for offshore wind turbine towers must comply with ISO 4014 tolerance grades for bolt sizes ranging from M24 to M64. They must also achieve a shear strength of âĨ600 MPa to withstand the dynamic mechanical loads experienced in offshore wind energy environments.
â
What protection treatment is required for underwater fasteners in tidal energy devices?
Underwater fasteners used in tidal energy devices must undergo bio-adhesion protection treatment with a minimum coating thickness of âĨ50 Ξm. This treatment prevents marine organism attachment and corrosion, ensuring the long-term reliability and performance of fasteners in submerged environments.
