B1 SCOPE ‘This Specification establishes a recommended proce- dare for determining the identity ofan externally threaded fastener aga bolt ows a screw. B2 DEFINITIONS B2.1 Bolt ‘A bolt is an externally threaded fastener designed for insertion through holes in assembled pars, and it nor ‘mally intended to be tightened or released by torquing a ut 82.2 Screw ‘A screw is an exterally threaded fastener capable of being inserted into holes in assembled parts, of mating with a preformed internal thread or forming its own ‘dead, and of being tightened or released by torquing the bead. BS EXPLANATORY DATA ‘A bolt is designed for assembly with a out. A screw ‘has features in its design which make it capable of being Used in 2 tapped or other preformed hole in the work. Because of basic design, itis possible to use certain types ‘of screws in combination with « nut. Any externally thyeaded fastener which has a majority ofthe design char- acteristics which assist its proper use ina tapped or other preformed hole is a serew, regardless of how itis used in its service application Ba PROCEDURE ‘To identify an extemally threaded fastener as bolt or as a screw, two sets of criteria — Primary and ‘Supplementary — shall be applied. The Primary Criteria (paras. BS.1 through BS.4) shall be applied first. Any fas ‘tener which satisfies one of the Primary Criteria shall be Copyright by the American Sociaty Of Mechanical Engineors Thu May 08 11:34:46 2003 identified accordingly, and no futher examination need bbe made. The Supplementary Criteria (paras. B6.L through 6, and not listed in order of importance or priority of application) shall be epplied to 2 fastener ‘which does not satisfy completly any one of the Primary Criteria. The Supplementary Criteria deal the principal ‘features in the design of an externally threaded fastener hich conte to is proper use ata screw. A fasener ving a major of hese characteristics shal be er. ified as a screw, B5 PRIMARY CRITERIA BG.1. An exterlly threaded fastener which because of head design or other festure, is prevented from being ‘tured during assembly, and which can be tightened or released only by torguing anu, isa bol. Example: round ‘ead bolts, tack bolts, plow bolts.) BS.2 An externally threaded fastener which has a thread form, vhich prt smaby with «nat bang & 1B5.3 An extemally threaded fastener, which must be assembled with a nut to perform its intended service, is bolt. Example: heavy hex structural bolt) (B5.4 An externally threaded fastener, which must be {torqued by its head into a tapped or other preformed hhole to perform its intended service is a screw. (Example: square head tet screw.) (86 SUPPLEMENTARY CRITERIA 186.1 Under Head Fillet A serew should have a controlled fillet at the junction of the head with tbe body.

The point also protects the first thread, which, if damaged, may gall or scar the in- temal thread throughout its entire length. B69 Length ‘The length of a screw should be closely toleranced, with variance preferably unilateral on the minus side to prevent bottoming of the fastener in a tapped bole.STD-ASNE BLS.2-2-ENGL 2956 MM 0759670 0582368 OOT mm APPENDIX C WEIGHT IN POUNDS OF 100 HEX CAP SCREWS FOR GIVEN DIAMETER/LENGTH COMBINATION (This Anpenclc isnot part of ASME B1f.21-1896 and is included for information only.) act Diameter Maite of Diameter Me Me % 1 2D 748 1159 3023 90.86 2 um 435 58 308 0 208 a 5609 1812 oD 2a wo 622 39720 2D a7 ne 7555 8.30 20, an 25.30 2438 2013 4“ Copyright by the American Society Of Mechanical Engineers Thu May 08 11:34:82 2003STD-ASME BLS-2-1-ENGL 2596 MM O7S9670 OS82]L9 THb Mm APPENDIX D COUNTERSUNK CENTER HOLES (This Appendie ie not pan of ASME 818.2.1-1988 and fe included fr information only) lain or bell-type 60 deg. combined drills and countersinks may be used to produce countersunk ceater holes inthe Points for support of loog parts under the provisions of para. 2.12 (see ASME B94.11M-1993).
