size and length produced consecutively at the initial opera-
tion from a single mill heat of material and processed at
one time, by the same process, in the same manner so that
statistical sampling is valid. The identity of the lot and lot
integrity shall be maintained throughout all subsequent
operations and packaging.
9.5 Number of Tests — The minimum number of tests
from each lot for the tests specified below shall be as
follows:

Guide F 1470 applies if the coating specification does not specify a
testing frequency.
10. Test Methods
10.1 Tensile, Proof Load, and Hardness:
10.1.1 Tensile, proof load, and hardness tests shall
be conducted in accordance with Test Methods F 606.
10.1.2 Tensile strength shall be determined using
the Wedge or Axial Tension Testing Method of Full Size
Product Method or the Machined Test Specimens Method
depending on size and length as specified in 6.2.1-6.2.4.
Fracture on full-size tests shall be in the body or threads
of the bolt without a fracture at the junction of the head
and body.
10.1.3 Proof load shall be determined using Method
1, Length Measurement, or Method 2, Yield Strength, at
the option of the manufacturer.
10.2 Rotational Capacity — The zinc-coated bolt shall
be placed in a steel joint or tension measuring device and
assembled with a zinc-coated washer and a zinc-coated
and lubricated nut with which the bolt is intended to be
used (see Note 5). The nut shall have been provided with
the lubricant described in the last paragraph of the Manu-
facturing Processes section of Specification A 563. The
joint shall be one or more flat structural steel plates or
fixture stack up with a total thickness, including the washer,
such that 3 to 5 full threads of the bolt are located between
the bearing surfaces of the bolt head and nut. The hole in
the joint shall have the same nominal diameter as the hole
in the washer. The initial tightening of the nut shall produce
a load in the bolt not less than 10% of the specified proof
load. After initial tightening, the nut position shall be
marked relative to the bolt, and the rotation shown in

Table 6 shall be applied. During rotation, the bolt head shall
be restrained from turning. After the tightening rotation
has been applied, the assembly shall be taken apart and
examined for compliance with 6.3.3.
NOTE 5 — Rotational capacity tests shall apply only to matched assembly
lots that contain one A 325 bolt, one A 563 lubricated nut, and one F 436
washer that have been zinc coated in accordance with either Specifications
F 2329 or B 695. Both the bolt and nut components of the matched
assembly shall be zinc coated using the same process.
11. Inspection
11.1 If the inspection described in 11.2 is required by
the purchaser, it shall be specified in the inquiry and con-
tract or order.
11.2 The purchaser’s representative shall have free
entry to all parts of the manufacturer’s works, or supplier’s
place of business, that concern the manufacture or supply
of the material ordered. The manufacturer or supplier shall
afford the purchaser’s representative all reasonable facili-
ties to satisfy him that the material is being furnished in
accordance with this specification. All tests and inspections
required by the specification that are requested by the pur-
chaser’s representative shall be made before shipment, and
shall be conducted as not to interfere unnecessarily with
the operation of the manufacturer’s works or supplier’s
place of business.
12. Rejection and Rehearing
12.1 Disposition of nonconforming bolts shall be in
accordance with the Guide F 1470 section titled “Disposi-
tion of Nonconforming Lots.”
13. Certification
13.1 When specified on the purchase order, the manu-
facturer or supplier, whichever is the responsible party as
defined in Section 14, shall furnish the purchaser a test
reports that includes the following:
13.1.1 Heat analysis, heat number, and a statement
certifying that heats having the elements listed in 5.4 inten-
tionally added were not used to produce the bolts,
13.1.2 Results of hardness, tensile, and proof load
tests,
13.1.3 Results of rotational capacity tests. This shall
include the test method used (solid plate or tension measur-
ing device); and the statement “Nuts lubricated” for zinc-
coated nuts when shipped with zinc-coated bolts,
13.1.4 Zinc coating measured coating weight/thick-
ness for coated bolts,
13.1.5 Statement of compliance of visual inspection
for surface discontinuities (Section 8),
