Bolt and Cap Screw Sizes for Use in Construction and Industrial Machinery

This SAE Recommended Practice covers the use of preferred bolt
and capscrew sizes, wherever applicable, on construction and
industrial machinery to ease serviceability.
Designers, in their efforts to determine the proper fastener for
heavy equipment, sometimes overlook the practical aspects of
serviceability. When a particular component requires frequent
service, it is much faster and easier for the serviceman to work
with common size, easily distinguished bolts and capscrews which
require a minimum of tools.
Section 4 lists eight diameters of recommended bolts and
capscrews, some of which can be found in any hardware store,
require only standard tools, are easy to distinguish, and at the
same time cover proof loads from 1043 kg (2300 lb) on up at
convenient intervals.
While some applications may require other sizes and/or fine
threaded fasteners for greater camping forces and/or area
restrictions, the convenience of UNC threads in the sizes indicated
is preferred wherever possible.
