Description / Abstract:
This Standard covers the dimensional requirements for nine
product types of inch series bolts and screws recognized as
American National Standard. Also included are appendices covering
gaging procedures, grade markings for bolts and screws, formulas on
which dimensional data are based, and a specification to assist in
identifying a product as being a screw or a bolt. Where questions
arise concerning acceptance of product, the dimensions in the
tables shall govern over recalculation by formula. Heavy hex
structural bolts, formerly covered in ASME B18.2.1, are now covered
in ASME B18.2.6.
The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not
intended to imply that all of the products described herein are
stock production sizes. Consumers should consult with suppliers
concerning lists of stock production sizes.
