General Grade FOREWORD ‘This British Standard has been prepared under the authority of the Mechanical Engineering Industry Standards Commitice as a result of the decision taken 10 adopt the ISO metric screw thread system in the United Kingdom (see Appendix ‘A), and requests received from industry for the provisicn of a specification {for high strength friction grip bolts to basic metric dimensions. Although at present there are no 1SO Recommendations, draft recommenda tions or draft proposals relating specially to high strength friction grip bolts, ‘account has been taken of current documentation prepared by ISO Committee ISO/TC2 * Bolts, nuts and accessories’, and where possible the provisions of the following 1SO Recommendation and draft recommendations have been incorporated in the text of this standard 1SO Recommendation R 272. “Heuagon bolts and nuts, metric series, widths across fat heights of heads, thicknesses of nuts", 1SO Draft Recommendation DR 950." Nominal lengths for bolts, screws and studs, thread lengths for general purpose bolts". 180 Draft Recommendation DR 952." Hexagon bolts and nuts, metric series, tolerances on widths across fats, widshs across corners 1m DR 987." Bolts and screws, radii under the head of general purpose bolts and screws, metric series" 150 Draft Recommendat “Although the basic hexagon sizes for the bolts and nuts are in accordance with ISO Recommendation R272, the next larger width across lats for any given diameter, as shown in the normal metic series, have been selected in order to provide greater bearing areas for both bolts and outs. [ : ‘ BS 4395 : Part 1 : 1969 ‘The diametral dimension for the flat washers given in this standard have ‘been based on the large diameter series" detailed in draft ISO Recommendation 'No, 940 * Washers for hexagon bolts—metric serie’. The thicknesses for the flat washers have been based on those currently given in BS 313%, and the ‘American Standard ASTM A 325t, since it was felt that these thicknesses were ‘more compatible with the function for which these washers are used, the washer thicknesses quoted in ISO/DR 940 being more applicable to ordinary hexagon bolts and nuts, The dimensions of square taper washers given in this standard have been based on the inch sizes at present given in BS 3139, since it sema unlikely that BS 4" Structural stel sections‘, will be revised to provide rational metric sizes for sections in the near future. It also seems unlikely that a metic version of BS4 would in any way change the flange angles, and there appears to be Justification for retaining them as at present, since ISO is currently considering the adoption of structural stel sections covered by BS 4, On the question of the material to be utilized for general grade bolts to Part 1 of this standard, the BSI committee responsible were unable to reconcile the different practices adopted on the continent, as delaled in ISO Draft ‘Recommendation No. 911 and BS 36925, and the American practive as detailed in ASTM A 325. Its continental practice to maintain a constant tensile strength throughout the diameter range of threaded products, thus neceaitaling a change in chemical composition because of the increase in ruling section, whereas it Is the American practice to maintain a generally constant chemical composition, which in practice leads to a reduction in the tensile strength over the diameter. range vas originally intended to specify 150 strength Grade 8.8 for general grade _mettichigh strength friction grip bolts to Part 1 of this standard, andISO strength, Grade 10.9 for high grade bolts in the envisaged Part 2 (sce BS 3652), However, it was pointed out in committee that if ISO strength Grade 8.8 was specified in Part 1, an alloy steel rather than a carbon steel would need to be used for diameters greater than 24mm. It was felt by the committee that economic considerations were important in this respect and might prove paramount for users intending to change over to metric products, Accordingly this Part 1 has been prepared yith the material requirements based on the Americen Grade $ material used in ASTM A 325 and BS 3139 : Part 1 (see notes to Table 1). + BS.3139, "High strength flton grip bots for structural enticing", Pet 1, * Genera trae bots ASTM A 325," Hiphsteength earbon sel bolts for structural joins, indy the sultable ‘ul und plan hardened washers 1150 Pra Recommendation No, 911," Mechanial properteof fasteners", Patt, serene and sod 7953653, “180 mete precilon heeagon bolts, sees and nts 7 BS 4395 ; Part 1: 1968 [NOTE 1, Although the mislnam radl unde the head specie for bolts In this wasdard se in accordance with 1S0/DR 907, the tration dameter (44 max) quoted le Tebl'$ fils betwen the vales quoted for lished und semb-alahed product i the draft recone ‘peodaton.
