Chapter 16. Nuts, bolts, screws and washers
ISO metric precision hexagon bolts, screws and nuts are covered by BS 3643 and ISO 272. The standard includes washer faced hexagon head bolts and full bearing head bolts. In both cases there is a small radius under the bolthead which would not normally be shown on drawings, due to its size, but is included here for completeness of the text. With an M36 bolt, the radius is only 1.7 mm. Bolts may be chamfered at 45° at the end of the shank, or radiused. The rounded end has a radius of approximately one and one quarter times the shank diameter and can also be used if required to draw the rolled thread end. The washer face under the head is also very thin and for a M36 bolt is only 0.5 mm.
