Scope

This Standard specifies requirements for hexagon nuts and bolts with full-sized shanks and screws with unified screw threads (UNC and UNF) in diameters of 1/4 in to 1 1/2 in inclusive in strength grades 5 and 8.
The Standard is intended primarily to cover steel bolts, screws and nuts used within the temperature range of -50¦C to +300¦C, and does not make provision for products requiring special properties such as weldability or corrosion resistance.
The dimensional and marking requirements (except strength grade marking) of this Standard may also be applied to hexagon nonferrous and stainless steel bolts, screws and nuts.
