10、8 for the standardization of bolts,screws,nuts,rivets and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922,as Sectional Committee B 18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee(later the American Standards Association,then the United States of America Standards Institute,and as of
11、 October 6,1969,the American National Standards Institute,Inc.).The Society of Automotive Engineers and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers served as joint sponsors.Subcommittee 3 was subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards covering sl
12、otted and recessed head screws.In accordance with a general realignment of the subcommittee structure on April 1,1966,Subcommittee 3 was redesignated Subcommittee 6.At its meeting on December 4,1974,Standards Committee B 18 authorized preparation of a series of standards for metric fasteners.Subcomm
13、ittee 6 was responsible for developing product standards covering metric machine screws and tapping screws.In subsequent meetings of Subcommittee 6,held over the ensuing two years,the content of the proposed metric standards was discussed and organized.It was decided that the coverage should be limi
14、ted to the flat countersunk,oval countersunk,and pan head styles having slotted and Types I and IA cross recessed drive provisions and the hex and hex washer head designs.The machine screws would cover sizes M2 through M 12 and,in steel,be available in two strength grades conforming to property clas
15、ses 4.8 and 9.8.Also,it was the consensus that the respective head envelopes for both machine screws and tapping screws of comparable sizes should remain consistent with established inch practices.In 1976,the Industrial Fasteners Institute published IFI-513,documenting dimensions and specifications
16、as then agreed upon and coordinated to the extent possible with the International Organization for Standardization(ISO)proposals,which Subcommittee 6 authorized as a first draft proposal for the metric machine screw document.Because the common head for machine and tapping screw approach differed considerably from existing metric practices and ISO drafts,particularly in regard to countersunk heads,a task group was established at the September 1977 meeting of the Subcommittee to develop proportion
