This is the direct predecessor to the current ISO standard and the likely basis for IS 1367:2002.
Key Differences
≠IS 1367:2002 is based on the withdrawn ISO 898-1:1999, while current international standards like ISO 898-1:2013 include updated requirements.
≠The current ISO 898-1:2013 has more stringent material requirements for large diameter (≥ M16) Class 8.8 bolts to ensure sufficient core hardness and prevent failure, which are not as explicit in IS 1367:2002.
≠ISO 898-1:2013 specifies mandatory Charpy impact testing for certain high-strength classes (10.9, 12.9) above certain sizes, whereas IS 1367:2002 often lists it as a supplementary requirement to be agreed upon.
≠Modern international standards provide more detailed information on the applicability of fasteners at elevated and low temperatures, which is less defined in the 2002 Indian standard.
Key Similarities
≈The fundamental system of Property Classes (e.g., 4.6, 8.8, 10.9, 12.9) for defining fastener strength is identical across all standards.
≈Nominal values for key mechanical properties like ultimate tensile strength, yield strength, and proof load stress are harmonized for most common property classes.
≈The basic types of tests required for conformity are the same, including tensile tests, proof load tests, hardness tests, and head soundness tests.
≈The designation system for bolts, screws, and studs, which includes the thread size, length, and property class (e.g., 'M12 x 50 - 8.8'), is consistent.
