ASTM A307 Rods Specification
ASTM A307
Specification for carbon steel bolts, studs, threaded rods & similar externally
fasteners with min 60 ksi tensile strength.
ASTM A307
specification covers the chemical and mechanical requirements for three grades
(Grades A, B, and C) of carbon steel bolts, studs, threaded rods with minimum
tensile requirement of 60 ksi. However Grade C has been replaced by ASTM F1554
Grade 36 Specification. A307 specification does not cover the requirements for
machine screws, thread cutting/forming screws, mechanical expansion anchors, or
other similar externally threaded fasteners. When tested, sampled specimens
shall adhere to specified values for chemical composition, hardness, tensile
strength, yield point, elongation, and dimensions.
