FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Second Revision) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards, after the draft finalized
by the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee had been approved by the Medical Instruments,
General and Production Engineering Division Council.
This standard was first published in 1964 and subsequently revised in 1968. This revision has been necessitated
due to the revision of IS 1363 (Parts 1 to 3) and revision of various parts of IS 1367 having reference in this
standard.
This revision has been aligned dimensionally to the following Indian Standards except the dimensions of square:
IS 1363 Hexagon head bolts, screws and nuts of product grade C:
(Part 1) :2002 Hexagon head bolts (size range M5 to M64) @urth revision)
(Part 2) :2002 Hexagon head screws (size range M5 to M64) (@wth revision)
(Part 3) :1992 Hexagon nuts (size range M5 to M64) (fioz.wthrevision)
For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this standard is complied with, the final value,
observed or calculated, expressing the result of a test or analysis shall be rounded off in accordance with
1S2:1960 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (revised)’. The number of significant places retained in the
rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.
