 Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards institutes (IS0 member bodies). The work of developing Inter-
national Standards is carried out through IS0 technical committees. Every member
body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been set up has the
right to be representedon that committee. International organizations, governmental
and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, llso take part in the work.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to

the member bodies for approval before their acceptanceas International Standards by
the IS0 Council.

International Standard IS0 272 was developed by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2,

Fasteners.The first edition (IS0 272-19791had been approved by the member bodies
of the following countries :

Australia Ireland Romania

Belgium Italy South Africa, Rep. of
Canada Korea, Dem, P. Rep. of Spain
Czechoslovakia Korea, Rep. of -Sweden
Denmark Mexico Switzerland
Finland Netherlands Turkey

This second edition, which cancels and replaces IS0 272-1979, incorporates draft
Addendum 1, which was circulated to the member bodies in March 1980and has been
approved by the member bodies of the following countries :

Fasteners - Hexagon products - Widths across flats

1 Scope and field of application

This international Standard specifies widths across flats for hexagon products, for example hexagon head bolts and screws, hexagon
nuts and hexagon flanged bolts, screws and nuts, to be used in the respective product standards.

It also specifies a logical ratio between underhead (or nut) bearing area (which determines the magnitude of the compressivestress on
the bolted members relative to the clamping force applied by the fastener) and the tensile stress area of the screw thread (which
governs the clamping force which can be developed by tightening the fastener for any particular strength class of fastener). This
calculation technique was applied to each of the hexagon series so that a proper grading of bearing area/stress area ratios would be
available to engineering designers,
