FOREWORD
This Indian Standard ( First Revision)
was adopted by the Bureau of Indian
Standards,
after the
draft finalized by the Bolts, Nuts and Fastener Accessories Sectional Committee had been approved
by the Light Mechanical
Engineering
Division
Council ( LMDC).
This standard was originally published in 1970. This revision has been made to align
with the latest versions of basic standards related to fasteners.

the

standard

Foundation
bolts are designed for use in masonry, concrete foundation
and the like. The form of
the shank is optional
but compliance
is required
for the maximum dimensions
specified (space
requirement
dimensions ). The standard specifies property class 4.6 for foundation
bolts as the bolts
are generally used with this property class. However, due to space constraints,
it may be essential to
use bolts having
property
class higher than 4.6 which shall be subject to agreement between the
purchaser and manufacturer.
Following

major

changes

have been made in this revision:

a) The contents of the standard have been enditorially

new basic standards on fasteners.
b) Shank

form design

G has been included

c) Black grade B has been replaced
