Introduction

Background of standard evolution and revision

GB/T5358-2021, as the latest version, replaces the 1998 version of the standard which has been in effect for 23 years.

  • Adapt to the wide application of new 50CrV alloy steel materials
  • Regulate the size system of small-size screwdrivers such as T5
  • Improve the scientific nature of torque test methods

Analysis of key technical requirements

1. Product classification system

Classification dimension Type Code
Working part structure With hole type H
Magnetic characteristics Magnetic C
Non-magnetic No code

2. Core performance indicators

Material requirements: The screw rod must be made of 50CrV steel specified in GB/T3077 or materials with equivalent performance, with a hardness of ≥50HRC

Torque test: Test according to the special torque test block in Appendix B. The torque value of the hole-type screwdriver is 85% of the standard value


Comparison of new and old standards

Comparison dimensions GB/T5358-1998 GB/T5358-2021
Specifications covered Maximum T40 Extended to T50
Magnetic test Steel ball diameter uniform 3mm Graded by specifications (3-16mm)
Chamfering requirements Not specified 5° below T15, 20° above T20

Implementation suggestions

  1. Manufacturers should focus on updating the mold system to ensure that the chamfer of the working end meets the new regulations
  2. It is recommended to establish a regular inspection system for special quantities (refer to Appendix A)
  3. Magnetic products need to be equipped with test steel balls of different diameters as specified in Table 5
