1.1 This specification covers quenched and tempered steel hex cap screws, bolts, and studs having a minimum tensile strength of 120 ksi for diameters 1.0 in. and smaller; 105 ksi for diameters over 1.0 in. to 1-1/2 in.; and 90 ksi for diameters 1-3/4 in. to 3.0 in. inclusive. The term “fasteners” in this specification denotes hex cap screws, bolts, and studs.

1.2 The fasteners are intended for general engineering use.

1.3 The fasteners are furnished in diameters 1/4 to 3.0 in. inclusive. They are designated by type denoting chemical composition as follows:

Type | Description
Type 1 | Plain carbon steel, carbon boron steel, alloy steel, or alloy boron steel
Type 2 | Withdrawn 2003
Type 3 | Weathering steel

1.4 Terms used in this specification are defined in Terminology F1789 unless otherwise defined in this specification.

1.5 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are provided for information purposes only.
