本试验程序旨在提供一种质量控制方法，用于检查标称直径为1/4至1的非主要扭矩型螺纹钢紧固件的扭矩-张力特性。实际上，由于不同的接头参数，特定单个紧固件组件接头的扭矩-张力关系会有所不同。需要使用实际接头部件进行测试，以确定这些条件下的准确扭矩张力值。有关公制版本，请参见SAE J174M。

This test procedure is intended to provide a quality control method for checking torque-tension characteristics of non-prevailing torque type threaded steel fasteners 1/4 through 1 in nominal diameters. Realistically, torque-tension relationships for specific individual fastener assembly joints will vary due to the different joint parameters. Tests using actual joint components will be required to determine accurate torque-tension values for those conditions. For the metric version, see SAE J174M.
