ASTM F468-98

Standard Specification for Nonferrous Bolts, Hex Cap Screws, and Studs for General Use

SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous bolts, hex cap screws, and studs 0.250 to 1.500 in. inclusive in diameter manufactured from a number of alloys in common use and intended for general service applications.
1.2 Applicable nuts for use with bolts, cap screws, and studs covered by this specification are covered by Specification F 467.
Note 1—A complete metric companion to Specification F 468 has been developed-F 468M; therefore no metric equivalents are presented in this specification.
