Fastener class
Parts of the international standard ISO 898-1 for bolts, screws and studs made of carbon steels and alloy steel.
The standard is applicable to bolts, screws and studs:
- Made of carbon steel or alloy steel
- Having triangular ISO metric screw thread in accordance with ISO 68-1.
- With coarse pitch thread M1,6 to M39, and fine pitch thread M8x1 to M39x3.
- With diameter/pitch combinations in accordance with ISO 261 and ISO 262, and
- having thread tolerances in accordance with ISO 965-1, ISO 965-2 and ISO 965-4.
It is not applicable to set screws and similar threaded fasteners not under tensile stress (see ISO 898-5). It does not specify requirements for such properties as: weldability, corrosion resistance, resistance to shear stress, torque/clamp force performance or fatigue resistance.
