and tolerances
5.1 All finished bolts shall conform to the dimensions and tolerances specified in Figure 1 and Table 2.
5.2 The clamping length of the bolt shall conform to the dimensions and tolerances specified in Table 2, and
shall be such that when a standard nut without countersink or ring gauge is screwed on as far as possible
by hand, its leading face is within a distance M from the underside of the bolt head. The run-out of the
thread shall not exceed twice the thread pitch.
5.3 The nominal length of the bolt shall be the minimum bearing length L, which is determined by the
minimum clamping length, M, less two thread pitches (see Table 3).
NOTE The bearing lengths L specified in Table 3 are in 0.10 inch increments but where a 0.05 length increment is required this
should be by agreement between manufacturer and user and should be identified as follows: 8 B, indicating a 6-32 UNC bolt of
bearing length L 0.85 inches. M and E need to be adjusted accordingly.
6 Screw threads
The bolts shall have unified screw threads of the form and fit specified in the latest edition of British
Standard BS A 100.

BSI — British Standards Institution
BSI is the independent national body responsible for preparing
British Standards. It presents the UK view on standards in Europe and at the
international level. It is incorporated by Royal Charter.
Revisions
British Standards are updated by amendment or revision. Users of
British Standards should make sure that they possess the latest amendments or
editions.
It is the constant aim of BSI to improve the quality of our products and services.
We would be grateful if anyone finding an inaccuracy or ambiguity while using
this British Standard would inform the Secretary of the technical committee
responsible, the identity of which can be found on the inside front cover.
Tel: +44 (0)20 8996 9000. Fax: +44 (0)20 8996 7400.
BSI offers members an individual updating service called PLUS which ensures
that subscribers automatically receive the latest editions of standards.
Buying standards
Orders for all BSI, international and foreign standards publications should be
addressed to Customer Services. Tel: +44 (0)20 8996 9001.
Fax: +44 (0)20 8996 7001. Email: Standards are also
available from the BSI website at .
In response to orders for international standards, it is BSI policy to supply the
BSI implementation of those that have been published as British Standards,
unless otherwise requested.
Information on standards
BSI provides a wide range of information on national, European and
international standards through its Library and its Technical Help to Exporters
Service. Various BSI electronic information services are also available which give
