ASTM F3125 Grade A325 heavy hex bolts are high strength structural bolts manufactured from medium carbon steel, carbon boron, or medium carbon alloy steel. A325 hex bolts are available in diameters from 1/2" through 1 1/2" inclusive. Dimensional specifications are governed by ASME B18.2.6. Grade markings for grade A325 heavy hex bolts include both the grade symbol "A325" and the manufacturer's identification mark. Inch series fasteners meeting ASTM F3125 Grade A325 specifications are intended for use in steel to steel structural connections. Grade A325 heavy hex bolts offer a heavy pattern head to increase the bearing surface and distribute the clamping load over a larger area. Available in hot dip galvanized finish, which provides a corrosion resistant zinc coating.

Governing Standards

ASTM F3125 Covers the mechanical and material requirements for inch series fasteners used in automotive and related industries in diameters through 1-1/2″.
ASME B18.2.6 Covers the general and dimensional data for five products in the inch series recognized as American National Standard. These five structural products include: (a) Heavy Hex Structural Bolts: ASTM A 325 or ASTM A 490; (b) Heavy Hex Nuts: ASTM A 563; (c) Hardened Steel Washers; Circular, Circular Clipped or Beveled: ASTM F436; (d) Compressible Washer-Type Direct Tension Indicators: ASTM F 959; (e) Twist-Off-Type Tension Control Structural Bolts: Heavy Hex and Round: ASTM F1852.
ASME B1.1 UNC & UNF Class 2A Specifies the thread form, series, class, allowance, tolerance, and designation for unified screw threads.
SC Slip Critical Connection
N Bearing type connection with threads in the shear plane.
X Bearing type connection with no threads in the shear plane.
