Designation:F185214Standard Specification for“Twist Off”Type Tension Control Structural Bolt/Nut/WasherAssemblies,Steel,Heat Treated,120/105 ksi MinimumTensile Strength1This standard is issued under the fixed designation F1852;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope*1.1 This specification covers two types of heat treated,steel,tension control bolt-nut-washer assemblies,also referred to as“sets.”These assemblies are capable of developing a minimumpredetermined tension when installed by applying torque to thenut,while at the same time applying a counter torque toseparate the spline end from the body of the bolt using anappropriate spline drive installation tool.1.2 An assembly consists of a tension control bolt withspline end(covered by this specification)and a suitable nut andwasher covered by reference to applicable ASTM specifica-tions.1.3 The fastener assemblies are intended for use in struc-tural connections.These connections,installation procedures,and the use of alternate design structural bolts are coveredunder the requirements of the“Specification for StructuralJoints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts,”approved by theResearch Council on Structural Connection.1.4 The assemblies are available with either round(buttonor dome)heads,heavy hex structural heads,or alternate designheads described in Section 10 and Fig.1,in sizes12to 118in.inclusive,in two types specified in Section 4.1.5 Terms used in this specification are defined in Termi-nology F1789 unless otherwise defined herein.1.6 The values stated in inch-pound units are to be regardedas standard.No other units of measurement are included in thisstandard.1.7 The following precautionary statement pertains only tothe test method portions,Sections 13 and 14,of this Specifi-cation:This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is theresponsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety and health practices and determine the applica-bility of regulatory limitations prior to use.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:2A194/A194M Specification for Carbon andAlloy Steel Nutsfor Bolts for High Pressure or High Temperature Service,or BothA242/A242M Specification for High-Strength Low-AlloyStructural SteelA325 Specification for Structural Bolts,Steel,Heat Treated,120/105 ksi Minimum Tensile StrengthA563 Specification for Carbon and Alloy Steel NutsA588/A588M Specification for High-Strength Low-AlloyStructural Steel,up to 50 ksi 345 MPa Minimum YieldPoint,with Atmospheric Corrosion ResistanceA709/A709M Specification for Structural Steel for BridgesA751 Test Methods,Practices,and Terminology for Chemi-cal Analysis of Steel ProductsA871/A871M Specification for High-Strength Low-AlloyStructural Steel Plate With Atmospheric Corrosion Resis-tanceB695 Specification for Coatings of Zinc Mechanically De-posited on Iron and SteelD3951 Practice for Commercial PackagingF436 Specification for Hardened Steel WashersF606 Test Methods for Determining the Mechanical Proper-ties of Externally and Internally Threaded Fasteners,Washers,Direct Tension Indicators,and RivetsF788/F788M Specification for Surface Discontinuities ofBolts,Screws,and Studs,Inch and Metric SeriesF1470 Practice for Fastener Sampling for Specified Me-chanical Properties and Performance InspectionF1789 Terminology for F16 Mechanical FastenersG101 Guide for Estimating the Atmospheric Corrosion Re-sistance of Low-Alloy Steels1This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee F16 onFasteners and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee F16.02 on Steel Bolts,Nuts,Rivets and Washers.Current edition approved Sept.1,2014.Published September 2014.Originallyapproved in 1998.Last previous approved in 2011 as F185211.DOI:10.1520/F1852-14.2For referenced ASTM standards,visit the ASTM website,www.astm.org,orcontact ASTM Customer Service at serviceastm.org.For Annual Book of ASTMStandards volume information,refer to the standards Document Summary page onthe ASTM website.*A Summary of Changes section appears at the end of this standardCopyright ASTM International,100 Barr Harbor Drive,PO Box C700,West Conshohocken,PA 19428-2959.United States1 2.2 ANSI/ASME Standards:3ASME B1.1 Unified Screw ThreadsANSI B18.2.1Square and Hex Bolts and ScrewsANSI B18.18.3M Inspection and QualityAssurance for Spe-cial Purpose Fasteners2.3 Research Council on Structural Connections4Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 orA490 Bolts3.Terminology3.1 Definitions of Terms Specific to This Standard:3.1.1 assembly lotassembly lot for purposes of assigningidentification numbers and from which test samples shall beselected,shall consist of one combination of component lots.That is,one tensio
