Forged threaded lifting eyes used in lifting applications come within the scope of ASME
Standards Committee B18 on Standardization of Bolts, Nuts, Rivets, Screws, Washers, and
Similar Fasteners, whichwasorganized
in March of 1922 undertheproceduresofthe
American Engineering Standards Committee [later renamed the American National Standards
Institute, Inc. (ANSI)], with the Society of Automotive Engineers and The American Society
of MechanicalEngineers as joint sponsors.
Subcommittee No. 15 was appointed in March of 1960 and asked to give initial consideration
to the establishment of a standardonforged
lifting eyes including ratedcapacity. At its
firstmeeting,held
onApril 22, 1960,the committee decided to askallofthe
leading
suppliers to furnish dimensions, tolerances, and rated capacities for their standard lifting
eyes. This data was collected, consolidated, and studied in detail. It was soon apparent that
it wouldbeimpossible to develop an ANSI standard thatwould agree witheven a small
percentage of thestandardproductsthen
being produced. The firstproposal, therefore,
attempted to come as close as possibletoan average valueand still maintainan orderly
progressionfrom the smaller to the larger sizes.
ANSI Standards Committee B I8 approved the proposal by letter ballot taken on September
24, 1964, and following approval by the sponsors it was submitted on July 28, 1965 to
ANSI for approval. Because of a conflict with the USA Standard Specification for Carbon
Steel Eyebolts, G38.2-1964,finalapprovalwaswithheld.
Subsequent tothewithdrawalof
G38.2-1964,ANSIapprovedthe
B18 proposalonFebruary 18, 1969.
A revision was approved by letter ballot of ASME (the sponsor) and submitted to ANSI
for designation as anAmericanNationalStandard.ANSIapprovalofB18.15-1985,Forged
Eyebolts, wasgranted on July 17, 1985.
Inthemid-1980s
it was determinedthattherewould
be need for a standard to cover
lifting eyes with metricthreads. A standard wasdevelopedusingthe
existing forgings.
After several meetings and revisions, the
Committee decided, at the June 1990 meeting, to
create a standard thatwould be compatible with the worldmarket andwould thus reflect
the I S 0 standard. This meant that only shouldered lifting eyes wouldbe included, because
that istheonly style in the IS0 standard. There were concerns aboutthethreadundercut
usedonmetric lifting eyes. AnFEA (finite element analysis) determined that the undercut
was not detrimental to performance. Although the material generally usedby U.S. manufacturers greatly exceeds the requirements of the IS0 standard, the decision was made to down
rate the capacitytothe
I S 0 standardrequirements.Followingapproval
by ASME, the
document was submitted to ANSI.ASMEB18.15.1M-1998wasapproved
by ANSIon
November30,1998.
In response to requests from users for lifting eyes with greater lifting capacity and longer
threads, the Committee created a standard for straight shank (no flange) lifting eyes based
on the capabilities of the materials used in the U.S. for inch threaded lifting eyes. Following
approval by ASME,thedocumentwassubmitted
to ANSI.ASME B 18.15.2M-1998 was
approved by ANSI on July 7, 1998.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH B18 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concernedinterests.As
such, usersofthisStandard
may interact withthe
Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee
meetings. Correspondence should be addressedto:
Secretary, BIS Main Committee

Engineers
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are madeperiodically

to the Standard to incorporate
changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from
the application ofthe Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should
be as specific as possible, citing theparagraph number(s), theproposedwording,and
a
detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Interpretations. Upon request,the B18 Committee willrenderan
interpretation ofany
requirement of the Standard. Interpretations canonly be rendered in response to a written
request sent to theSecretary of the BIS Main Committee.
The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended
thatthe inquirer submit hisher request in the following format:
Subject:
Edition:
Question:
Cite the
applicable
paragraph
number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Cite the
applicable
edition
of the Standard for which
the
interpretation
isbeingrequested.
Phrase
the
question
as a request for an interpretation
of
a specific
requirement suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request
for an approval of a proprietarydesign or situation. The inquirer may
or drawings, which are necessary to explain
also includeanyplans
the question; however,theyshouldnot
contain proprietarynames or
information.
Requeststhat are not in thisformatwill be rewritten in this format by the Committee

prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
informationthatmight
affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by
an interpretation may appealtothe cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME
does not approve, certify, rate, or endorse any item, construction, proprietary device,
or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B 18 Main Committee regularly holds meetings, which
are open to the public. Persons wishing

For nondesignated dimensional characteristics, the
provisions of ASME B l8.18.1M shall apply. Should a

The following are some suggestions on the application

the plane of the eye, not at someangletotheplane.
See Fig. 2.
(b) Coatings are notrecommended. If, however, a
coating must be applied, lifting eyes should be visually
inspected for flaws prior to applying a coating. Coatings
such as painting, galvanizing, or plating cover flaws
and interfere with inspection.
(c) Holes used for installation of lifting eyes shall
be tapped sufficiently deep to allow the shoulder to seat.

PERIODIC INSPECTION
Lifting eyes should be free from visible defects

that might affect serviceability. Lifting eyes should be
routinelyvisuallyinspected for such defects as:
(a) bent or distorted eye or shank
(b) nicks and gouges
(c) obvious wear
(d) worn andor distorted threads
( e ) cracks
If anyofthese
defects are visible,the lifting eye
should be removedfrom service and destroyed.

The following are some suggestions on the application

of a lifting eye.
( a ) Capabilities are basedonloadsbeing
applied
axially. See Table 1.
(b) Coatings are notrecommended. Coatings such
as painting, galvanizing, or plating cover flawsand
interfere with inspection.
(c) To attain the rated capacities shown in Table 1,
minimum thread shank length of engagement must be
as follows:
( I ) steel: one thread diameter;
(2) cast iron, brass,bronze: 1.5 thread diameters;
(3) aluminum,magnesium,zinc,plastic:two
threaddiameters.
