Description / Abstract:
1. Scope--This SAE Standard provides a comprehensive list of
requirements for the selection, identification, and control of metric
and inch sized fasteners for use in shipboard applications for both
shipbuilder installed joints and for use in shipboard components. The
fastener selection requirements include the following:
a. Materials
b. Thread selection
c. Plating, coatings, and surface treatments
d. Locking devices and elements
e. Screw thread fastener inserts
f. Fastener part or identifying numbers
g. Identification markings
1.1 Purpose--The purpose of this document is to assist the designer in
selecting a fastener and in determining what fastener options should be
specified for a particular application. This document is intended to
provide uniform requirements for the shipboard use of threaded
fasteners and their associated hardware. It is also intended to promote
the use of standardized fasteners and to minimize the variety of
fasteners used.
1.2 DoD Requirements--Appendix A lists additional requirements that
apply to military ships and other ships when specifically invoked.
