What is BS EN 3301 - T-head bolts about?
BS EN 3301 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers bolts, T-head, close tolerance medium thread length in heat resisting steel FE-PM1708 (FV535).
BS EN 3301 specifies the dimensions of uncoated T-head bolts, close tolerance, with MJ-thread, medium thread length, in heat resisting steel FE-PM1708 for aerospace applications. These bolts are to be used in aerospace fastening systems mainly stressed in shearing force.
Who is BS EN 3301 - T-head bolts for?
BS EN 3301 on T-head bolts is useful for:
- Manufacturers of aerospace equipment and components
- T-head bolts manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 3301 - T-head bolts?
T-Head bolts are mainly used with a nut to joint an object with a T shaped slot so that the head of the bolt sits flush or below the material surrounding it. T-head bolts can come in any requested coating or plating such as zinc, black oxide, silver and many others.
Heat resistant steels are solid solution strengthened alloy steels for use at temperatures above 500 deg C and upto 750 deg C. As these steels are used over a certain broad temperature ranges, they are normally strengthened by the hardening mechanism of heat treatment, solid solution, and precipitation.
When it comes to the manufacturing and use of aerospace components, reliability and consistent performance are crucial. Hence BS EN 3301 specifies the dimensions of uncoated T-head bolts, close tolerance, with MJ-thread, medium thread length, in heat resisting steel FE-PM1708. This ensures safety and reliability in your organization and in turn increases the efficiency of work.
