Fasteners are regarded to be hardware devices, which
is used for affixing or joining mechanically two or more items together.
The bond here could be of temporary or permanent nature. Its
application might be in industries or home based. There are variety of fasteners and fittings that are easily available in the market these days and come with varying applications. Several instances of imperial fasteners
being utilized in the industrial applications tend to include rivets,

objects, which would be placed under tremendous stress.
There are several factors which affect as to how one
would select which fastener is to be used for different applications.
Certain factors which could be considered are temperature of a place,
environmental, if it is corrosive environment, tensile, force types on
the fastener, shear or compression, fastener requirements, frequent
disassembly or assembly and cost of it being used.
Since it is very vast, there is a tendency for many to ignore its presence.
