NOTE a result of fasteners, substantial been split

This standard was first published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1967. As international agreements arising from the work of ISO/JC 2, the IS0 committee on extensive alterations have come about, which have necessitated a thorough revision with additions to the 1967 edition. For technical and drafting reasons alike, the standard has into various parts, as already spelt out in the standard. While specific requirements intended to provide an introduction which are general in nature.

of fasteners are covered in the rest of the parts, this part is to the different parts of the standard and cover requirements

The concept of full and reduced loadability of externally threaded fasteners has been introduced in the present revision although international agreements are yet to be reached on screws with reduced loadability. Accordingly products with different geometry and head configuration would no longer be called to exhibit uniform loadability or strength characteristics. Similarly se! screws ( grub screws ) are classified as a separate category since these type of screws Thus the strength characteristic for set screws would shift from are not under tensile stresses. tensile strength to hardness values. Similar to the externally threaded fasteners, distinctions characteristics of nuts depending on whether they are hexagon thin nuts, nuts of special geometry, etc. have been made in the strength nuts with standard thread heights,

One of the important additions in the present revision has been the limits of surface The new requirements on surface flaws which quantify the discontinuities on bolts and nuts. defects with allowable limits also include sampling plans for acceptance programmes. The revision also includes requirements of electroplated coatings and chemical conversion coatings like phosphating on threaded fasteners. A list of related standards which cover the various parameters like nominal lengths, thread length, thread run-out and undercuts, thread ends, dimensions for radii under the head, etc, is given in Appendix A. The list also includes standards on raw materials and methods of test on fasteners. 2
