FOREWORD
(This Foreword is not part of ASME/ANSI B18.2.2-1987.)
American National Standards Committee B18 for the standardization of bolts, screws,
nuts, rivets, and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922 as Sectional Committee
BI 8 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American
Standards Association, then the United States of America Standards Institute and, as of
October 6,1969, the American National Standards Institute, Inc.) with the Society of Auto-
motive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors.
Subcommittee 2 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for tech-
nical content of standards covering wrench head bolts and nuts.
Subcommittee 2, after appraisal of the requirements of industry, developed a proposed
standard series of bolt head and nut dimensions. This proposal was finally approved and
designated a Tentative American Standard in February 1927.
A first revision of the document was designated as an American Standard in March 1933
and was followed by a second revision which was granted approval as an American Stan-
dard in J anuary 1941.
Following reorganization of the B18 Committee in 1947, Subcommittee 2 was asked to
expand the standard on head proportions into a complete product standard. A proposal
covering square and hexagon head bolts and nuts, hexagon head cap screws, and automo-
tive hexagon head bolts was prepared and submitted to the B18 Committee in April 1950.
While this draft was under consideration, the B18 Committee received a proposal from the
British Standards Institution for Unification of dimensions on products incorporating uni-
fied screw threads. The Committee welcomed the opportunity of discussing the proposals
and an American-British-Canadian Conference was held in New York on J une 1 and 2,
1950.
It was agreed in the conference that the essentials of unification could be accomplished by
selection of mutually satisfactory across-the-flats dimensions, since this would permit the
use of the same wrenches and because other features would rarely affect interchangeability.
After due consideration, suitable existing across-the-flats dimensions were selected for the
hexagon products affected.
In its meeting of October 13,1950, Subcommittee 2 agreed to incorporate in the proposed
standard the conference recommendations on y4 in. hexagon head bolts, 78 in. hexagon
head cap screws and automotive hexagon head bolts, YI6 in. and y8 in. regular hexagon and
square nuts, and 1/16 in. light and regular hexagon and square nuts. At a subsequent meeting
of Subcommittee 2, further changes were adopted in order to combine the light and regular
series of nuts, and to combine the automotive hexagon head bolt, hexagon head cap screw,
and regular hexagon head close tolerance bolt.
I n view of the prgress made in the United States and the urgency of standardization for
mutual defense, the British Standards Institution sponsored a second Conference in Lon-
don in April 1951 to complete the unification of certain hexagon bolts and nuts.
At a meeting on J une 8, 1951, Subcommittee 2 reaffirmed its acceptance of the unified di-
mensions which correspond with those in the March 1951 draft, but attempted to select bet-
ter nomenclature for the unified products. A final draft incorporating the nomenclature

Finished Hexagon Bolts and Nuts and containing numerous editorial changes was sub-
mitted for letter ballot in September 1951. Following approval by the B18 committee and
the sponsors, the proposal was presented to the American Standards Association for ap-
proval and designation as an American Standard. This was granted on March 24, 1952.
It being recognized that the standard was in need of additional refinements, Subcommit-
tee 2 began work immediately to eliminate these shortcomings. A proposed revision remov-
ing inconsistencies with respect to fillets, improving the length tolerances on heavy hexagon
bolts, and incorporating numerous other corrections and clarifications of an editorial nat-
ure, resulted. The most noteworthy editorial change was a decision to combine the coverage
for hexagon cap screws and square head set screws from the B18.2 standard with the cover-
age for slotted head cap screws and slotted headless set screws from the B18.6 standard for
publication in a separate document. The requirements for the unified hexagon cap screws
and finished hexagon bolts being identical in the overlapping sizes, the data would now be
available in two publications. Following approvals by the B18 Committee and sponsor or-
ganizations, the proposal was submitted to the American Standards Association and de-
clared an American Standard on February 2, 1955.
A revision of this document comprised of numerous editorial corrections and inclusion
of an appendix for grade markings was duly approved and designated an American Stan-
dard on April 18, 1960.
At a meeting in February 1960, Subcommittee 2 approved a recommendation to reduce
the head heights for heavy, heavy semi-finished, and heavy finished hexagon bolts which
was subsequently approved by letter ballot of the B18 Committee on August 16, 1960. A
proposed standard for heavy hexagon structural bolts submitted and accepted by Subcom-
mittee 2 at its October 17, 1960 meeting was approved by letter ballot of the B18 Committee
on May 9, 1961, To meet the urgent needs of the steel construction industry it was consid-
ered necessary to publish the standard for the structural bolts immediately. Consequently,
Appendix IV to ASA B18.2-1960 containing coverage for the revised heavy hexagon bolts
and the new heavy hexagon structural bolts was released in 1962.
In October of. 1961, Subcommittee 2 appointed a subgroup to review all product stan-
dards for square and hexagon bolts, screws, and nuts, and to recommend simplifications
which would be compatible with technical, production, and distribution advances that had
occurred over the prior several years. The subgroup presented its recommendations at a
meeting of Subcommittee 2 in October of 1962. It being agreed that the internally and exter-
nally threaded products should be published in separate documents as suggested, draft pro-
posals for each were completed.
The proposed revision for square and hex nuts incorporated the following subgroup rec-
ommendations: discontinuation of regular semi-finished nuts; elimination of regular hexa-
gon and heavy hexagon nuts in sizes !4 in. through 1 in.; elimination of finished hexagon
nuts in sizes larger than 1 /z in.; elimination of the washer face semi-finished style on fin-
ished series nuts in sizes % in. and smaller and heavy series nuts in sizes 7/16 in. and smaller;
removal of machine screw nuts (these nuts now contained in B18.6.3); and adoption of an
abbreviated product nomenclature. Letter ballot of this proposal to the B18 Committee re-
sulted in approval. Following acceptance by the sponsor organizations the revision was sub-
mitted to the American Standards Association and designated ASA B1 8.2.2 on September
8, 1965.
Subcommittee 2 continued to further develop refinements initiated by the simplification
subgroup and study changes suggested by consumer interests. This work culminated in Sub-
committee acceptance of a 1970 proposal incorporating, in addition to numerous editorial
changes, revisions to the requirements on angularity of bearing face and countersink diame-
ters for the various hex nuts and heavy hex nuts, and inclusion of an appendix covering the
gaging of slots in slotted nuts. The proposed revision, after approval by letter ballot of the
B18 Committee in March 1970, was subsequently approved by the sponsors and submitted

to the American National Standards Institute for designation as an American National
Standard. This was granted on J anuary 18, 1972.
A proposed revision of the standard agreed upon by Subcommittee 2 incorporated a pro-
vision to enable consumers to specify heavy hex nuts and heavy hex jam nuts with close
bearing face angularity, when required; clarified intent with regard to width across flats on
nuts produced from bar stock; deleted coverage for hex castle nuts from the appendices;
and included numerous editorial refinements. This proposal was formally approved by let-
ter ballot of the subcommittee and the B18 Committee. Following its acceptance by the
sponsor organizations the revision was referred to the American National Standards Insti-
tute and granted recognition as an American National Standard on February 27, 1987.

ASME/ANSI B18.2.2-1987
TABLE 3 ICONT'D)
GENERAL NOTES:
Unification. Bold type indicates products unified dimensionally with British and Cana-
dian standards. Unification of fine thread nuts is limited to sizes l in. and smaller.
True Position of Tapped Hole. The axis of tapped hole shall be located at true position
Countersink. Tapped hole shall be countersunk on the bearing face or faces. The max-
imum countersink diameter shall be the thread basic (nominal) major diameter plus
0.030 in. for 3/8 in. nominal size nuts and smaller, and 1 .O8 times the basic major
diameter for nuts larger than 3/8 in. No part of the threaded portion shall project be-
yond the bearing surface.
Threads. Threads shall be unified coarse, fine, or 8 thread series (UNC, UNF or 8 UN
series), Class 28.
nuts shall conform with Grade A of ASTM A 563, Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts; or
Grade 2 of SAE J 995, Mechanical and Material Requirements for Steel Nuts. Nuts of
covered in ASTM F 594, and of several nonferrous materials in the ASTM F 467.
NOTES:
Width Across Flats. Maximum width across flats shall not be exceeded (see excep-
tion in General Data). No transverse action through the nut between 25% and 75% of
the actual nut thickness as measured from the bearing surface shall be less than the
minimum width across flats. For milled-from-bar nuts, see statement in General Data
pertaining to the nominal bar size to be used.
Corner Fill. A rounding or lack of fill at junction of hex corners with chamfer shall be
permissible provided the width across corners is within specified limits a? and beyond
a distance equal to 17.5% of the basic thread diameter from the chamfered faces.
Tops and Bearing Surfaces of Nuts. Nuts in sizes 5/.. in. nominal size and smaller shall
be double chamfered. Larger size nuts shall be double chamfered or have washer
faced bearing surface and chamfered top.
The diameter of chamfer circle on double chamfered nuts and diameter of washer
face shall be within the limits of the maximum width across flats and 95% of the mini-
mum width across flats.
The tops of washer faced nuts shall be flat and the diameter of chamfer circle shall
be equal to the maximum width across flats within a tolerance of - 15%. The length
of chamfer at hex corners shall be from 5% to 1 5% of the basic thread diameter. The
surface of chamfer may be slightly convex or rounded.
Bearing surfaces shall be flat and perpendicular to the axis of the threaded hole
within the FIM limits specified for the respective nut type and strength level.

TABLE 10 (CONT'D)
GENERAL NOTES:
(b) True Position of Tapped Hole. The axis of tapped hole shall be located at true position
lent to 4% of the maximum width across flats for 1 Ih in. nominal size nuts or smaller,
and 6% of the maximum width across flats for nuts larger than 1 'h in., regardless of
feature size.
(c) Countersink. Tapped hole shall be countersunk on the bearing face. The maximum
nuts larger than 3/a in. No part of the threaded portion shall project beyond the bearing
surface.
(d) Threads. Threads shall be unified coarse, fine, or 8 thread series (UNC, UNF or 8 UN
series), Class 2B. Unless otherwise specified, coarse thread series shall be furnished.
NOTES:
( 1 1 Width Across Flats. Maximum width across flats shall not be exceeded (see excep-
(3) Slots. Slots shall be normal to nut flats. Contour of bottom of slots shall be at manu-
facturer's option. Requirements for gaging slots are in Appendix I.

APPENDIX I
SLOT GAGES AND GAGING FOR SLOTTED NUTS
(This Appendix is not part of ASME/ANSI 618.2.2-1987, and is included for information purposes only.)
The gages specified below shall be used to determine
the acceptability of the alignment and bottom con-
tours of the slots in slotted nuts in accordance with the
following procedure.
The gaging for slot alignment provides for equal
variations in the location of the cotter pin hole in the
bolt and the location of the slots in the nut.
To inspect the nut, the slotted end of the gage shall
be inserted through the threaded hole from the bear-
ing surface of the nut. The gage pin shall then be in-
serted into both the gage slot and the nut slots through
three adjacent faces of the nut, consecutively. Slot
alignment shall be considered satisfactory if the gage
pin fits into the slots without interference at all three
gaging positions. The bottom contour shall be accept-
able if the gage pin contacts the bottom surfaces of op-
posite slots during the alignment gaging at all three
positions.
Some deviations from the specified gage plug
diameters D may be necessary to compensate for vari-
ations in the nut thread minor diameter due to differ-
ences in manufacturing practices.
To insure adequate service life, gages and gage pins
shall be suitably hardened.
Contour beyond this Pin must be round
and straight for
this length

(1) Wrenches are normally marked with the Nominal Size of Wrench which corresponds to the basic (maximum, in most cases)
width across flats dimension of the respective nut. For specific requirements applicable to wrenches, refer to the appropriate ANSI
BIO7 document which covers the particular wrench type.
(2) Allowance (minimum clearance) between maximum width across flats of the nut and jaws of wrench equals (0.005W +0.001 1.
Tolerance on wrench opening equals plus (0.005W +0.004 from minimum),
where
W =nominal size of wrench
