Aerospace Fastener Standards

Aerospace fastener standards are established guidelines that specify the quality, dimensions, materials, and testing requirements for fasteners—like bolts and screws—used in aircraft and spacecraft. These standards ensure that fasteners meet strict safety, durability, and performance criteria essential for aerospace applications. They are developed by organizations such as SAE International and ASTM International. Adhering to these standards helps prevent failure under extreme conditions, ensuring the safety and reliability of aerospace structures during operation and throughout their lifespan.
