1、Designation: F 788/F 788M 06Standard Specification forSurface Discontinuities of Bolts, Screws, and Studs, Inchand Metric Series1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F 788/F 788M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoption or, in the case o
2、f revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon (e) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the Department of Defense.1. Scope*1.1 This specif
3、ication establishes allowable limits for thevarious types of surface discontinuities that may occur duringthe manufacture and processing of bolts, screws, and studs,including heat-treated machine screws, tapping screws, andsems (the washers of screw-washer assemblies are excluded).This specification
4、 covers metric series products with nominaldiameters of 4 mm and larger and with specified minimumtensile strengths of 420 MPa and higher; and inch seriesproducts with nominal diameters of No. 5 (0.1250 in.) andlarger and with specified minimum tensile strengths of 60 000psi and higher.1.2 When the
5、engineering requirements of the applicationnecessitate control of surface discontinuities on bolts, screws,or studs, the purchaser shall specify conformance to ASTMSpecification F 788/F 788M, in the original inquiry and pur-chase order.1.2.1 When the engineering requirements of the applicationnecess
6、itate that surface discontinuities on bolts, screws, andstuds be controlled within limits closer than those specified inthis specification, the purchaser shall specify the applicablelimits in the original inquiry and purchase order.1.3 The allowable limits established in this specification formetric
7、 bolts, screws, and studs with nominal diameters from 4to 24 mm inclusive, are essentially identical with requirementsgiven in ISO 6157/I. There are no ISO standards for surfacediscontinuities on any inch-series products.1.4 The values stated in either SI (metric) or inch-poundunits are to be regard
8、ed separately as standard. The valuesstated in each system are not exact equivalents, therefore, eachsystem must be used independently of the other. Combiningvalues from the two systems may result in nonconformancewith the specification.2. Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2E 340 Test Method fo
