ASTM F835-03

Standard Specification for Alloy Steel Socket Button and Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for quenched and tempered alloy steel hexagon socket button (SBHCS) 0.060 through 0.625 thread sizes and flat countersunk (SFHCS) 0.060 through 1.5 thread sizes head cap screws having material properties for high-strength requirements.  
1.2 Fasteners meeting this specification are intended for shear-type applications and have tensile requirements ranging from 122 to 150 ksi.
1.3 The hazard statement applies only to the test method section, Section 11, of this specification. This standard does not purport to address all of the safety problems, if any, associated with its use. It is the responsibility of the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.
