SPECIFICATION FOR HIGH STRENGTH STRUCTURAL ( Second Revision )

BOLTS

I. Scope and Field of Application - Covers the requirements for large series hexagon, high strength structural steel bolts in property classes 88 and 109 and in the size range Ml 8 to M36 with short thread lengths suitable for use in both friction-type and bearing-type structural steel joints. Bolts to this standard when matched with the appropriate nuts have been designed to provide an assembly with a high level of assurance against failure by thread stripping on overtightening. Note - Attention to be obtained. 2. Dimensions
is drawn to the importance of ensuring that the bolts arecorrectly used if satisfactory results are

and Tolerances

2.1 The dimensions or the bolts shall be as given in Table 1. 2.2 The recommended length-size combinations shall be as given in Table 2.

23 ~Threads shall conform to tolerance class 6g of IS : 4218 ( Part 6 )-1978 ISO. metric screw threads: Part 6 Limits of sizes for commercial bolts and nuts ( diameter range 1 to 52 mm) ( first revision ). In case of hot-dip galvanized bolts, the specified tolerance class shall apply before hot-dip galvanizing. 3. Grade - Unless otherwise specified, the bolts shall be of product grade C as specified~in IS : 1367 ( Part 2 )-1979 Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners: Part 2 Product grades and tolerarans ( second revision ). 4. p~~chanicat Properties - The bolts shall be of property class 88 or 109 as specified in IS : 1367 ( Part 3 )-1979 Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners: Part 3 Mechanical properties and test methods for bolts, screws and studs with full loadability ( second revision ). 4.1 For tensile, proof load and wedge loading test on full size bolts only four threads shall be exposed between the grips. This is obtained by freely running the nut or fixture to the fullest extent and then unscrewing the specimen four full turns. 4.2 For test purposes, the screw threads on hot-dip galvanized bolts shall be chemically permit assembly with a standard threaded grip or nut, that is, thread class 6H. 5. Finish 5.1 Unless specified otherwise; the bolts shall be supplied with a residual coating of light oil. in the dull black heat-treated condition stripped to

5.2 Where property class 88 bolts are required to be hot-dip galvanized, they shall be galvanized in accordance with the requirements of IS : 1367 ( Part 13)-1983 Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners: Part 13 Hot-dip galvanized coatings on threaded fasteners ( second revision). For fasteners with hot-dip galvanized coatings, the bolts or the mating nuts shall be provided with a suitable lubricant which shall be cleanand dry to the touch to ensure that seizure shall not take place in assembly. The hot-dip galvanized bolts shall be subjected to the anti-seizing test as specified in Appendix A. Note - Bolts 6. General

ANTI-SEIZING TEST FOR HOT-DIP

FASTENERS

GALVANIZED

A-l. Where bolts and the mating nuts and washers with hot-dip galvanized coating are specified, these shall be subject to the following anti-seizing test for testing the effectiveness of the lubricant coating applied to the hot-dip galvanized bolts or nuts:

a)

The test shall be carried out on bolts, nuts and washers in the condition as supplied by the manufacturer and shall be in accordance with, and include a lubricant coating as required by 5.2. There shall be no other lubricant applied for the purpose of this test. If the test is performed by the user it s II be carried out immediately after receipt of the bolts, nuts and washers from the manufact, rer. ? The bolt with nut and washer selected for testing shall be placed with the washer directly under the nut in a steel joint with total thickness sothat three to five full threads of the bolt are located between the bearing surfaces of the bolt head and nut. The diameter of the holes in the assembly shall have the same nominal diameter as the hole in the washer. The nut shall be initially tightened to produce a load in the bolt not less than 10 percent of the specified proof load. After this initial tightening, the bolt and the nut position shall be marked to provide the starting point for the rotational movement to be measured. During nut rotation the bolt head shall be restrained from turning, and the final tensioning shall be completed without stopping the motion of the nut. The nut shall be rotated in accordance with the requirements of Table 3 from the initial tightening position without fracture of the bolt, or stripping of the bolt or nut thread.
