1) Definition of proof load (externally threaded fastener): The tension applied load that a fastener must withstand without any indication of permanent deformation or failure. Proof load is typically calculated at 90-93% of the minimum yield strength.
2) The yield strength of SAE 5.2 and ISO 8.8 are approximately the same.
