This page covers M30 Threaded Rod to ISO / DIN: the full dimensional row, hole and tool sizes, proof-load data and typical applications. All values are taken from the governing standards (ISO / DIN together with ISO 273, ISO 724 and ISO 898-1 where applicable).
M30 Dimensional Row (ISO / DIN)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Engagement depth bm (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M30 | 3.5 | 240 | 45 | Cl. 8.8 alloy steel | DIN 939 / GB/T 901 |
Spanner & Drive for M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153)
Drive geometry for M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153) is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M30
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 3.5 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 33 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 26.5 mm |
Tightening Torque for M30
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 1400 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2000 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 2400 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M30
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 898-1) | 561 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 337 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 466 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 544 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile, class 8.8 | 449 kN |
Proof load = stress area × proof stress per ISO 898-1. Design joints so the working preload stays below the proof load of the selected class.
M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153) Weight
A steel M30 threaded rod at the listed 240 mm length weighs approximately 1,332 g each — about 1,332 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³). Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Common Applications for M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153)
M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153) are commonly specified for structural steelwork, heavy machinery foundations and large flange joints.
Installation Tips for M30 Threaded Rod — ISO / DIN (Series 153)
- At M30 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.
Mating Parts for M30
For M30, pair with a M30 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M30 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
