Fasteners : A fastener is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or
more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is,
joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.
Type of Fasteners :
Hex Bolt & Nut Flat/Pack washer
Anti theft Bolt & Nut Step bolt
Spring washer ACD Rod

Color Retention Test & its Procedure :-
On the sample selected from the lot several drops of aged Cupric Sulphate solution placed on
plate and immediately cover with a clean 25mm-dia watch glass having free polished edges.
Place the sample with watch glass in position in the test chamber at 27±2°C.
After 20 hours samples taken out of from test chamber and rinse the samples with water after
removal of watch glass.

In case of waiver due to urgency, Internal tests records is reviewed and dispatch
clearance is given.
Once material is received at our plant, we will perform all tests as per QAP/Standards
as our plant.
If all tests are satisfied, we will clear the material for further process.
