IS 4190: 1984
Indian standard for eye bolts is IS 4190: 1984 (Specification for Eye Bolts with
Collars). This standard specifies the basic dimensions, material, lifting capacity and
conditions of use of lifting eyebolts of Grade M. These eyebolts, which are described
as `universal` may be used in all cases involving vertical and inclined lifting. This
standard covers only eyebolts with eyes of internal diameters capable of permitting
direct engagement with eyehooks of the same lifting capacity (working load limit) for
use with Grade T(8) chain. In the case of eyehooks for use with Grade M(4) chain, it
may be necessary to use an intermediate component such as a shackle to make the
connection.
Application
It is recommended to use shouldered eye bolts for rigging hardware, except when
prohibited by the configuration of the item to which the eye bolt is attached. Where
non-shouldered eye bolts are required, they shall be used only in vertical pulls or in
rigging systems that are designed, analyzed, and approved by a qualified person.
For vertical loading, eye bolts without shoulders have the same load-carrying ability
as shouldered eye bolts.

Shoulders of eye bolts shall seat uniformly and snugly against the surface on which
they bear. Never undercut eye bolt to seat shoulder against the load. Always
countersink receiving hole or use washers to seat shoulder.
When more than one eye bolt is used in conjunction with multiple-leg rigging,
spreader bars or lifting beams should be used to eliminate angular loading. In case
two or more than two eye bolts are used without spreader bars, their orientation shall
be such that load is in the plane of the eyes as shown below (Orientation of eye bolts).
When eye bolts cannot be properly seated and aligned with each other, a steel washer
or spacer not to exceed one thread pitch may be required to put below the eye bolt.
Proper thread engagement must be maintained. Use a washer with approximately the
same diameter as the eye bolt shoulder and the smallest inside diameter that will fit
the eye bolt shank.
If the hook does not go completely into the eye bolt, use a shackle to avoid loading
the hook tip.
Use one nut if thickness is more than one eye bolt diameter. Use two nuts if thickness
is less than or equal to eye bolt diameter. Always tighten nuts securely against the
load.

Reeving of Sling
Slings shall not be reeved through an eye bolt or reeved through a pair of eye bolts.
Reeving will alter the angle of loading on the eye bolt as shown below. Only one leg
should be attached to each eye bolt.

To attain the rated capacity, minimum thread shank length of engagement depends on
parent material and must be as follows:
Steel: 1 thread diameter
Cast iron, brass, bronze: 1.5 times the thread diameter
Aluminum, magnesium, zinc, plastic: 2 times the thread diameter

elongated or have damaged threads shall be discarded. Ensure that threads on shank
and receiving hole are clean.
