ASTM F606M
1. Scope
1.1 These test methods establish procedures for conducting tests to determine the mechanical properties of metric externally and internally threaded fasteners, washers, and rivets.
1.2 Property requirements and the applicable tests for their determination are specified in individual product standards. In those instances where the testing requirements are unique or at variance with these standard procedures, the product shall specify the controlling testing requirements.
1.3 These test methods describe mechanical tests for determining the following properties:

| Method 3, Uniform Hardness | 3.2.5 |
| Axial Tension Testing of Full Size Products | 3.4 |
| Wedge Tension Testing of Full Size Products | 3.5 |
| Tension Testing of Machined Test Specimens | 3.6 |
| Total Extension at Fracture Test | 3.7 |
| For Internally Threaded Fasteners: | 4 |
