ASTM A307 Specification for carbon steel bolts, studs, threaded rods & similar externally fasteners with min
60 ksi tensile strength.
ASTM A307 specification covers the chemical and mechanical requirements for three grades (Grades A, B, and C) of carbon steel bolts,
studs, threaded rods with minimum tensile requirement of 60 ksi. However Grade C has been replaced by ASTM F1554 Grade 36
Specification. A307 specification does not cover the requirements for machine screws, thread cutting/forming screws, mechanical
expansion anchors, or other similar externally threaded fasteners. When tested, sampled specimens shall adhere to specified values for
chemical composition, hardness, tensile strength, yield point, elongation, and dimensions.
