This standard is one of a series of Indian Standards on threaded fasteners with ISO metric screw threads. 0.3 This svandard is based on Draft ISO Recommendation No. 947 «Hexagon bolts and nuts. Metric series. Thread diameter from 42 up to and including 150 mm. Supplement to ISO Recommendation R 272° issued by the International Organization for Standardization. 0.4 This standard gives only the dimensions and materials for hexagonal bolts and nuts above M39 while reference is made to IS: 1367-1961* for details of general requirements for the more common types of threaded fasteners. 0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated, express- ing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with J$:2-1960}. ‘The number of significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard. 1, SCOPE 1.1 This standard covers the requirements of hexagonal bolts and nuts of thread diameters 42 to 150 mm. ‘*Technical supply conditions for threaded fasteners, ( Since revised ). +Rules for rounding off numerical values ( revised ). 3IS : 3138 - 1966 2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES 2.1 The mechanical properties of the bolts and nuts covered in this standard shall conform to those given under symbol 4D of 1S, 1367-1961* 3. GRADE 3.1 Bolts and nuts covered in this standard shall conform to Black (B) Grade specified in IS : 1367-1961* for sizes up to and including M64 and to Turned (T) Grade of TS : 1367-1961* for sizes above M64. 4. DESIGNATION Aol Bolts and nuts conforming to this standard shall be designated in the following manner, 4.1.1 A hexagonal bolt of nominal diameter 42 mm and length 100 mn, of black grade conforming to this standard shall be designated as: Hexagonal Bolt M42 x 100 ~ 183138 BD 41.2 A hexagonal nut of nominal diameter 76 mm, of turned grade and conforming to this standard shall be designated as: Hexagonal Nut M76 — IS : 3138 T-4D 4.1.3 A hexagonal bolt of nominal diameter 60 mm and length 150 mm, provided with & hexagonal nut, of black grade and conforming to this standard shall be designated as: Hexagonal Bolt and Nut M60x 150N — I$: 3138 BaD 5. DIMENSIONS 5-1 The leading dimensions of bolts and muts specified in this standard shall be as given'in Table 1. The preferred length and diameter combina- tions are given in Table 2. 5.2 The screw thread dimensions of bolts and nuts shall conform to those given in IS: 3139-1966}. 6. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 621 Bolts and nuts shall comply with the requirements iaid down in IS : 1367-1961* in regard to manufacture, workinanship, tolerances, tests, marking and packing. *Technical supply conditions for threaded fasteners.
