Stud bolt caps are used to cover and protect the exposed ends of threaded stud bolts. They are typically made of plastic or rubber materials, which provide a protective barrier against moisture, dirt, and other contaminants that can cause corrosion or damage to the bolt threads.

Stud bolt caps are available in various sizes and colors to fit different stud bolt diameters and to allow for easy identification of the bolt size or application. Some stud bolt caps may also have markings or labels to indicate the manufacturer or other relevant information.

When selecting stud bolt caps, it is important to consider the material, size, and application requirements to ensure proper fit and protection. It is also important to ensure that the stud bolt caps are compatible with the specific type of stud bolt being used, as different bolt threads may require different cap sizes or materials.

Overall, stud bolt caps provide a simple and effective way to protect exposed stud bolt threads from damage and corrosion, helping to prolong the life of the bolt and ensure reliable joint connections.

Uses of DIN 936

Stud bolt caps are commonly used in various applications, including:

  1. Construction: They are often used in construction applications, such as in steel structures, bridges, and other similar applications, where they serve as protective covers for exposed stud bolts.
  2. Automotive industry: Stud bolt caps are used in the automotive industry as well, specifically for applications where exposed stud bolts may be subject to damage or corrosion.
  3. Industrial machinery: They are used in the manufacturing of heavy-duty machinery and equipment, where they serve as protective covers for exposed stud bolts.
  4. Electrical industry: Stud bolt caps are used in the electrical industry to protect exposed stud bolts from moisture and other contaminants, helping to ensure reliable connections.

In summary, stud bolt caps are used in various industries and applications, including construction, automotive, industrial machinery, and electrical industries, where they provide a simple and effective way to protect exposed stud bolt threads from damage and corrosion, helping to prolong the life of the 

Materials of DIN 936

  1. Plastic materials:
  • Polyethylene (PE)
  • Polypropylene (PP)
  1. Rubber materials:
  • Silicone rubber
  • EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer)
  • Neoprene rubber

While metal stud bolt caps are less common, they do exist and can be found in certain applications. Metal stud bolt caps are typically made from materials such as stainless steel or aluminum, and may be used in applications where the bolts are exposed to high temperatures or corrosive environments.

However, metal stud bolt caps are not suitable for all applications, as they may not provide as effective protection against moisture and other contaminants as plastic or rubber caps. Additionally, metal caps may not be compatible with certain types of bolts or threads, which could affect the reliability of the joint connection.

In summary, while metal stud bolt caps do exist and can be used in certain applications, they are less common than plastic or rubber caps and may not provide as effective protection against moisture and other contaminants. It is important to select the appropriate cap material based on the specific application requirements, to ensure proper fit and protection.
