The B18 Standards Committee for the standardization of bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and similar n
iv
e
fasteners was organized in March 1922 as the B18 Sectional Committee under the aegis of the s r
ty i
American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards Association, then
b

T
Standards Institute, Inc.), with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society o
h
m
of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. In subsequent years, the Committee came under the s
o
sole sponsorship of the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME). n
S
B18 Subcommittee 2 was established and charged with the responsibility for the technical c
e i
content of standards covering wrench head bolts and nuts. In the late 1980s, a draft of B18.2.5M ti
n
fi
was created and revised for approval. However, in April of 1995, efforts to finalize a draft of this
c
(w
Standard were abandoned. At its meeting on November 28, 2006, B18 Subcommittee 2 again took w
up the development of this Standard. This Standard is the result of those efforts. w
te .
This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on April 16, 2009. c
