9、trolled when printed.FOREWORD American National Standards Committee B18 for the standardization of bolts,screws,nuts,rivets and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922,as Sectional Committee B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee(later the American Standards Associ
10、ation,then the United States of America Standards Institute and,as of October 6,1969,the American National Standards Institute,Inc.),with the Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors.Subcommittee 3*was subsequently established and charged wit
11、h the responsibility for technical content of standards covering slotted and recessed head screws.An American Standard setting forth slotted head proportions was approved and published in April of 1930.Over the years following the issuance of this document,the need for standards more comprehensive t
12、han head configurations became apparent.At a meeting held on April 14,1942,Subcommittee 3*was reorgan-ized and enlarged,and the following operating scope was established:The scope of Subcommittee 3*shall consist of the development and promulgation of American Stan-dards embracing screw products vari
13、ously known as machine screws,wood screws,tapping screws,slotted head cap screws and slotted headless set screws and machine screw nuts.The standards shall comprise complete product standards covering all dimensions and tolerances required for the specification and pro-duction of the products.Detail
14、s shall include boundary dimensions;such as,nut width and thickness;screw head dimensions;slot and recess dimensions;body dimensions;thread classification or thread detail,as required;thread length;point design;chamfers;underhead fillets;and supporting general specifications covering the quality,fin
15、ish,and the acceptable tolerances and limits as well as any information that may be necessary to insure satisfactory application of the products.Several meetings of the Subcommittee over the ensuing three years resulted in the development and acceptance of a proposed revision containing complete pro
16、duct standards coverage for slotted and recessed head machine,tapping and wood screws;slotted head and hexagon head cap screws;and slotted headless set screws.Following approval by the B18 Committee and sponsor organizations,this proposal was for-warded to the American Standards Association and declared an Arnericrln Standard,ASA B18.6 on April 12,1947.Recognizing the need for further refinements,Subcommittee 3*at a meeting held on February 1,195 1,established three standing working subgroups:on
