NATIONAL FOREWORD
This Indian Standard (Part 2) (Sixth Revision) which is identical with ISO 4018 : 2022 ‘Hexagon head
screws — Product grade C’ issued by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) was
adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the General Engineering and
Fasteners Standards Sectional Committee and approval of the Production and General Engineering
Division Council.

IS 1363 was originally published in 1960 and first revised in 1967. Subsequent to the publication
of 1967 edition, many changes had been agreed upon at international level which have been reflected
in IS 1367 series of standards covering ‘Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners’.
Accordingly, the second revision was published in 1984 splitting the standard into 3 parts covering
hexagon head bolts, hexagon head screws and hexagon nuts. The third, fourth and fifth revision of
this standard were published to align them with latest versions of ISO 4018. The sixth revision of this
standard has been undertaken to align it with ISO 4018 : 2022.

The main changes compared to the fifth revision are as follows:

a) The permissible shapes for free formed head and indentation on the head have been added;
b) Tables for dimensions have been restructured;
c) M7 has been added;
d) dw,min has been changed for M5 from smin — IT16 to smin — IT15 (as for hexagon head screws of
product grades A and B) in order to have a larger bearing surface area and thus less contact
pressure;
e) The rules for the shortest and greatest standard lengths have been added, and they have been
amended accordingly; standard greatest lengths have been limited to 200 mm (longer lengths
are to be agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer); and
f) Specifications for marking and labelling have been added as 6.

Other parts in this series are:

Part 1 Hexagon head bolts (Size range M5 to M64)

Part 3 (Style 1) Hexagon nuts (Size range M5 to M64)

The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as an Indian Standard without
deviations. Certain conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention
is particularly drawn to the following:

a) Wherever the words ‘International Standard’ appear referring to this standard, they should be
read as ‘Indian Standard’.
b) Comma (,) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current
practice is to use a point (.) as the decimal marker.
In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian
Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards, which are to be substituted in their
respective places, are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated:

details of which are given in National Annex A.

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 IS 2 : 2022 ‘Rules for rounding off numerical values (second revision)’. The number of
significant places retained in the rounded off value should be the same as that of the specified value in
this standard.
