Technical Data Sheet :- Bolt Load Capacity Tables To BS5950 Part 1 Date :- 01.01.2003
NOTES :-
1) The following tables are for ISO metric coarse thread bolts
2) a) The specification for ISO metric precision bolts (all grades) is BS3692 : 2001
b) The sp ecification for ISO metric black bolts (wide tolerance) (grade 4.6 only) is BS4190 : 2001
3) a) For tensile capacities the gross area (tensile area) of the bolt shall be used (see clause 6.3.1)
b) For shear capacities the gross area (tensile area) of the bolt shall be used (see clause 6.3.1)
c) For bearing capacities the nominal diameter or nominal area of the bolt shall be used (see clause 6.3.3)
4) The allowable stresses of the bolts are :-
