Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Working Committee NA 067-00-08 AA Verbindungselemente mit
Sonderformen und aus Kunststoff of DIN-Normenausschuss Mechanische Verbindungselemente (DIN Standards
Committee Fasteners).

The DIN 4000-160-12 tabular layout of product properties applies to stud bolts covered in this standard.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights without these having been identified here. DIN [and/or DKE] shall not be held responsible for
identifying any or all such patent rights.

Amendments

This standard differs from DIN 976-1:2002-12 as follows:

a) the standard has been editorially revised;

b) normative references have been updated;

c) Figure 1 has been brought in line with DIN EN ISO 225;

d) the symbol l in Figures 1 and 2 and Table 1 has been replaced by lt according to DIN EN ISO 225;

e) for limit deviations and geometrical tolerances in Table 2, product grade C has been specified instead of
product grade A, and for stud bolts with a property class of < 8.8, the tolerance for the thread has been
specified as 8g instead of 6g.

Introduction
Stud bolts with metric thread are designed to perform functions similar to those of double end studs
(clamping type or interference-fit type). This standard covers stud bolts with threads produced to tolerance
6g which is customary for bolt/nut assemblies of thread engagement group N as specified in DIN ISO 965-1.

Stud bolts are generally manufactured in the sizes for which a value of mass has been specified.
Lengths between 500 mm und 1 000 mm shall be graded in 20 mm increments.
Bracketed sizes should be avoided if possible.
If no mass is given, it indicates that the type is not commercially available.

6 Marking

6.1 Property class or steel grade

Steel stud bolts of size M5 or greater (d ≥ 5 mm) shall be marked at one end with the symbol denoting the
property class according to DIN EN ISO 898-1. Stud bolts of property class 4.8 are not required to be marked.
It is not required that stud bolts be marked with the manufacturer’s symbol.

Austenitic stainless steel stud bolts of size M5 or greater (d ≥ 5 mm) assigned to property class A2-70 or
A4-70 shall be marked at one end with the symbol denoting the material grade (A2 or A4).

Marking of nonferrous metal stud bolts is not required.

6.2 Colour coding

As an alternative to marking as in 6.1, stud bolts may be marked at one end with a colour code as in Table 3.
The marking shall not impair proper use of the bolt.
