ABOUT THIS TOOL +
The SBS Fastener Terminology Reference is a searchable engineering dictionary that combines official ISO 1891 fastener terminology with the internal SBS Technical Dictionary. It gives engineering, sourcing, and quality teams a single, organized place to look up fastener-related terms, definitions, and reference images instead of digging through multiple documents or standards.
Users can search by term, definition text, category, or SPEC code, and filter results by source (ISO 1891 vs. SBS Technical Dictionary) or by category chips. Sortable columns, a live keyword search, and optional reference images support fast lookup, while a toggleable multi-language column view adds French, Spanish, German, Italian, Chinese, Japanese, Russian, and Swedish translations alongside each entry.
The tool outputs a filtered, sortable list of fastener terms with full definitions, related SPEC codes, category tags, and (where available) reference imagery and translated terminology. Results can be printed directly to a clean, standalone reference sheet for offline or supplier-facing use.
Typical use cases include confirming the precise meaning of a fastener term on a print or BOM, cross-checking terminology against the applicable ISO standard, preparing multilingual documentation for international suppliers or customers, and building shared technical vocabulary across engineering, sourcing, and quality teams.
Terminology in this reference is drawn primarily from ISO 1891 fastener nomenclature, alongside SBS's internal technical dictionary covering thread, coating, material, and testing terms used across the fastener industry.
