ICINAL FOREWORD

Th Indian Standard ( Part 3 ) which is identical with IS0 898 - I : 1988 Mechanical properties of
fas ners - Part 1 : Bolts, screws and studs issued by the International Organization for Standardizatio ( IS0 ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Bolts,
Nu 3 and Fastener Accessories Sectional Committee ( LMD 14 ) and approval of the Light
MC zhanical Engineering Division Council.

? second version of this standard published in 1979 was based on IS0 898 - 1 : 1978 Mechanical
perties of fasteners - Part 1 : Bolts, screws and studs, issued by ISO. The revision has been
de by the adoption of the revised IS0 898 - 1 : 1988. The following major changes have been
de in this revision:

a) The chemical compositions and tempering temperatures of steels have been revised;

b)

The maximum hardness values for bolts, screws and studs of property classes 3.6 to 58 have
been increased;

c) The surface hardnesses for bolts, screws and studs of property classes 8.8 to 12.9 have been
revised;

d)

The application of test programmes A and B has been revised and specified more clearly;

Property classes 4.8, 5.8 and 6.8 are no longer tested according to test programme A;
=e>
surface integrity test has been added to test programme A, the wedge loading test for
f1 The
bolts, and screws with nominal thread diameter d ( 4 mm or nominal length / < 2.5 d has
been deleted from test progamme B;
For nominal thread diameters IO and 12 mm, the metric fine pitch was changed from 1.25 to
1 and 1.5 respectively, because these are the preferred pitches ( see also IS0 8676 and IS0
8765 ) ; the minimum tensile loads.and proofing loads were changed as a consequence; and

h)

The application of the wedge loading test for bolts and screws with head bearing diameter
above I.7 d has been specified.

In the adopted standard, certain termihology and conventions are not identical with those used in the
Indian Standard, attention is especially drawn to the following :
a) Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current
practice is to use point ( . ) as the decimal marker.
b) Wherever the words International Standard appear, referring to this standard, they shall
be read as #Indian Standard.
In the adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place
are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

1) For bolts of property class 8.8 in diameters d 6 16 mm, there is an increased risk of nut stripping in the case of inadvertent over-tightening inducing a load in excess of proofing load. Reference to IS0 898-2 is recommended.

4)

Minimum tensile properties apply to products of nominal length I > 2.5d.

Minimum hardness applies to products of length I < 2.5d and other

products which cannot be tensile-tested (e.g. due to head configuration).

5)

For testing qf full-size bolts, screws and studs, the loads given in tables 6 to 9 shall be applied.

6)

Surface hardness shall not be more than 30 Vickers points above the measured core hardness on the product when readings of both surface and

core are carried out at HV 0.3. For property class 10.9, any increase in hardness at the surface which indicates that the surface hardness exceeds
390 HV is not acceptable.
7)

In cases where the lower yield stress R,, cannot be determined. it is permissible to measure the proof stress R,o 2.

Programme A is suitable for machined test pieces and for bolts with a shank area less than the stress area.

The test piece shown in figure 1 shall be used for the tensile
test.

For testing of full-size bolts, screws and studs the loads given
in tables 6 to 9 shall be applied.

When machining the test piece, the reduction of the shank

diameter of the heat-treated bolts and screws with d > 16 mm
shall not exceed 25 % of the original diameter (about 44 % of
the initial cross-sectional area) of the test piece.

When carrying out the test, a free threaded length equal to one
diameter (Id) shall be subjected to the tensile load. To meet the
requirements of this test, the fracture shall occur in the shank
or the thread of the bolt and not at the junction of the head and
the shank. The test ring shall be designed accordingly.

~Products in property classes 4.8, 5.8 and 6.8 (cold-forged

product) shall be tensile-tested full-size (see 8.2).

8.2 Tensile test for fulLsize

studs

The speed of testing, as determined with a free-running crosshead, shall not exceed 25 mm/min. The grips of the testing
machine should be self-aligning to avoid side thrust on the
specimen.

8.3
The tensile test shall be carried out on full-size bolts in conformity with the tensile test on machined test pieces (see 8.1). It is
carried out for the purpose of determining the tensile strength.
The calculation of the tensile strength, R,, is based on the
stress area As:

For routine inspection, hardness of bolts, screws and studs

may be determined on the head, end or shank after removal of

Using the appropriate measuring method (8.8.2.1 or 8.8.2.2 as

applicable), the longitudinal section of the thread shall be

The specimens to be used are longitudinal sections taken

decarburization:
Generally, loss of carbon at the
surface of commercial ferrous materials (steels).

After mounting, grind and polish the surface in accordance

with good metallographic practice.

8.8.1.3
partial decarburization:
Decarburization with loss
of carbon sufficient to cause a lighter shade of tempered

adjacent base metal.

Unless otherwise agreed between .the interested parties, X100

8.8.1.4
complete
decarburization : Decarburization with
sufficient carbon loss to show only clearly defined ferrite grains
under metallographic examination.

If the microscope is of a type with a ground glass screen, the

extent of decarburization can be measured directly with a scale.
If an eyepiece is used for measurement, it should be of an appropriate type, containing a cross-hair or a scale.

carbon loss by heat-treating in a furnace atmosphere of properly controlled carbon potential.
