General requirements and details of dimensions for metric and inch series. Gives materials for use at temperatures between -250°C and 750°C.

This standard specifies the general requirements for bolting for flanges and pressure containing purposes, and gives details of dimensions for metric and inch series of bolting.

Materials have been selected for use at temperatures over the range -250 °C to 750 °C (see appendices A and B).

Information to be supplied by the purchaser is given in appendix C.

NOTE 1. This standard is necessarily largely concerned with studbolts and studs because of their application at higher temperatures etc., but, where appropriate, bolts may be used.
