What is an Internal Wrenching Bolt?

An Internal Wrenching Bolt (BOLT,INTERNAL WRENCHING) is an externally threaded fastener whose threaded portion is of one nominal diameter, No. 10 (0.190 IN.) (5 mm) or larger. It is designed with an internal socket or internal multiple spline for use with an internal driver. The head is beveled (conical) or cylindrical in shape. Items with cylindrical shaped heads must have an externally relieved body. A locking feature may be incorporated in the design of the head or threads. See also SCREW, CAP, SOCKET HEAD. Excludes SETSCREW; SCREW, SHOULDER; BOLT, SHOULDER; SCREW, EXTERNALLY RELIEVED BODY; BOLT, EXTERNALLY RELIEVED BODY; and SCREW, MACHINE.

What is a Tee Head Bolt?

A Tee Head Bolt (BOLT,TEE HEAD) is an externally threaded fastener whose threaded portion is of one nominal diameter and with a head specially designed to fit in a slot and hold against turning.

What is an Internally Relieved Body Bolt?

An Internally Relieved Body Bolt (BOLT,INTERNALLY RELIEVED BODY) is an externally threaded fastener whose external threaded portion is of one nominal diameter. It has a concentric hole along the longitudinal centerline which may extend a part or the full length of the bolt. The concentric hole along the centerline may be counterbored and/or internally threaded at the head end or the bolt end. The head is designed to be held or driven by an external and/or internal driver. For items having a hole(s) perpendicular to the axis which meet the concentric hole along the longitudinal centerline, see BOLT, FLUID PASSAGE.

What is a Shear Bolt?

A Shear Bolt (BOLT,SHEAR) is a high strength, 160,000 pounds per square inch (1100 megapascals) minimum tensile strength externally threaded fastener designed for use in applications involving great shear stress. The head is designed to accommodate an external wrench or driver. The head is not designed to be held or driven with an inserted driver, nor is it designed for rotation by the thumb and fingers. The unthreaded portion is of specific grip length, plated or unplated, and is machined to a tolerance of one thousandth (0.001) of an inch (0.025 mm) or less of a specific diameter for items one inch (25 mm) or less in diameter. Items over one inch (25 mm) in diameter shall have a tolerance of fifteen ten thousandths (0.0015) of an inch (0.038 mm) or less. The nominal major diameter of the threads shall be at least one thousandth (0.001) of an inch (0.025 mm) below the minimum shank diameter, but not below the minimum major diameter for applicable class of fit, as shown in the Screw Thread Standards, FED STD H28 and/or other nationally recognized standards. A locking feature may be incorporated in the design of the head or threads. See BOLT, MACHINE and BOLT, CLEVIS.

What is a Square Neck Bolt?

A Square Neck Bolt (BOLT,SQUARE NECK) is a headed externally threaded fastener whose threaded portion is of one nominal diameter, with a square neck directly beneath the head.

What is a Threaded End Rod?

A Threaded End Rod (ROD,THREADED END) is a headless cylindrical shaped metal item exceeding 12 inches (304.8 mm) in length and externally threaded on one or both ends. The unthreaded portion shall be of one diameter. Excludes items with tapered threads. See also STUD (as modified) and PIN, STRAIGHT, THREADED.

What is a Continuous Thread Rod?

A Continuous Thread Rod (ROD,CONTINUOUS THREAD) is a headless fastener exceeding 12 inches (304.8 mm) in length having an external thread of one nominal diameter running from end to end. See also STUD, CONTINUOUS THREAD.

What is an Assembled Sleeve Bolt?

An Assembled Sleeve Bolt (BOLT,ASSEMBLED SLEEVE) is a headed, externally tapered or straight fastener with a flanged outer sleeve ground externally straight. The head is designed to accommodate an external hand or power operated wrench or driver. The fastener must be tightened or released by torquing a nut.

Bolts are a type of mechanical fastener designed with external threads. Bolts are used with a nut to join parts together using tightening torque. The torque creates surface pressure between the bolt thread and its mating nut thread. This surface pressure increases the friction between the two threads and this increasing friction makes it increasingly more difficult for the nut to move and release the torque separating the parts again. These fasteners are intended to be inserted through holes that are pre-drilled in the material being joined. Unlike screws, which are also externally threaded fasteners, nuts and bolts work together, meaning that bolts require a nut to be threaded on to it to function properly and require a drilled hole into which the bolt may be inserted.

The terms “bolting” or “types of bolting” are rarely used in connection with bolts in the context of fasteners, these terms being associated more with fabric bolting and bolting machines used in the fabric industry.
