ASTM F468M-06
(Specification)Standard Specification for Nonferrous Bolts, Hex Cap Screws, and Studs for General Use [Metric]
Standard Specification for Nonferrous Bolts, Hex Cap Screws, and Studs for General Use [Metric]
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous bolts, hex cap screws, and studs in nominal thread diameters M6 to M36 inclusive manufactured from a number of alloys in common use and intended for general service applications.
1.2 Unless otherwise specified, nuts used on these bolts, cap screws, and studs shall conform to the requirements of Specification F 467M. Nuts shall be of the same alloy group as the fastener on which they are used and shall have a specified minimum proof stress equal to or greater than the specified minimum tensile strength stress of the fastener on which they are used. Note 1This specification is the metric companion of Specification F 468.
