bolts, screws, nuts etc. - are important technical construction parts. There is a clear trend towards: higher mechanical properties, stainless steel materials, corrosion-resistant surface coatings, special fastening systems with adequate assembling tools, fully automatic and robotized feeding and screwing equipment, increasing demand for higher quality and certification. Mechanical fastening is becoming a more and more advanced field of professional skill and knowledge. FABORY - a guarantee for quality It is not suprising that there is an increasing need for the advice of a technical expert and that in some companies, even in the early stages of development and design, the professional fastener engineer becomes involved in a new project so as to realize optimal construction. FABORY - a guarantee for quality We feel it as our task to compile the most relevant technical information on fasteners and screw threads in this practical reference guide for design, development, maintenance, purchasing, quality control, technical institutes etc. All technical information is of a general nature, is mainly based on the German DIN-, the European EN- and the international ISO- standards and is of importance for the construction, calculation and testing of bolted joints. For specific product information and non-standardized fasteners we refer to the various brochures of our documentation service. This reference handbook will regularly be kept up-to-date and will be extended to include new topics of general interest, as shown by the queries our Technological Department receives. FABORY - a guarantee for quality – the continuous increase of new fasteners and fastening systems – the regular adaptation of existing standards to the modern level of technics – the transition from national standards to the international ISO-standards and the European EN-standards do not make it simple for the user of fasteners to get the most recent and relevant information at the right time and to make (the right) use of it. With this new issue of “Fasteners Technology” we aim to meet the urgent need for professional information. FABORY - a guarantee for quality We appreciate any constructive criticism and comments you may wish to contribute. 15 ©

The ISO Metric Screw Thread System 2. The Unified Screw Thread System In countries other than the United States and Canada, the ISO Metric Screw Thread System is primarily used today. Unlike, most other countries the United States and Canada still use the Unified (Inch) Thread System. However, both are moving over to the ISO Metric System. It is estimated that approximately 60% of screw threads in use in the United States are still inch based. Other thread designations such as BSW, BSF, BA, etc. are also still in use today but are mostly produced in the capacity of a replacement part. Threads are manufactured by cold forming, cold rolling, hot forming, cold rolling or by the cut-thread process. The most common manufacturing method for standard fasteners up to 1” or 25mm is the cold forming or cold rolling process whereby both the head and the thread are produced with the material in the cold state.
