Standards & threads

Finished boltASTM F593Alloy Group 1 · 304 · CW · inch series

Specify 304 explicitly; the group also allows other alloys. Scope: nominal 1/4–1-1/2 in.; this is not a metric specification. Identify the exact alloy, condition and edition.

Cold work must be tied to the final bolt diameter and required properties.

Raw material specificationASTM A276/A276M / ASTM A479/A479MUNS S30400

S30400 · stainless bar

Select the stock-form specification and required condition. These are bar specifications, not finished-bolt strength classes.

Dimensions · metricISO 4014 / ISO 4017Coarse pitch · partial-thread bolts / full-thread hex screws

Select head width s, height k and thread length b. These are dimensional references here; other alloys do not automatically conform to the full steel/stainless product standard. Fine-pitch geometry needs a separate drawing or applicable standard.

Dimensions · inchASME B18.2.1Inch hex bolts / hex cap screws

Select the bolt or cap-screw pattern, head dimensions and thread length. Hex and heavy hex are different choices.

Threads · metricISO 261 / ISO 965-1Metric M · pitch plan and tolerance system

State diameter × pitch and external tolerance class, e.g. M12 × 1.75–6g. Fine pitch must be written explicitly; 6g is a thread tolerance, not a strength grade.

Threads · UNC / UNFASME B1.1Unified inch · coarse / fine series

State diameter, TPI, series and external class: e.g. 1/2-13 UNC-2A or 1/2-20 UNF-2A. Select 2A / 3A with the mating-thread fit; UNC and UNF do not mate.

Heat number traceability

Every delivery traceable by heat number

Mechanical testing

Included with every delivery

Thread inspection

GO / NO-GO gauging · sampled inspection

Methods, sampling and acceptance criteria follow the agreed specification. PMI, third-party inspection and additional records are agreed separately.

Before production and at delivery

During quotation, a redacted certificate from a previous order can show the document format and recorded tests. It is a historical example, not certification of this product or a new order. Shipment documents must correspond to the material and batch actually supplied.

Property class

S30400 plus the required finished-fastener standard and property class.

Separates alloy identity from mechanical acceptance.

Exposure and condition

Environment, delivery condition and any corrosion / finish requirement.

Avoids treating general stainless service as universal suitability.

Certificate designation

304 only or explicitly required 304 / 304L dual certification.

Makes the documentary acceptance clear before quotation.

Commercial terms

Indicative terms; confirmed in your quotation.

Typical MOQ

10pieces

Subject to product and material review.

Conditions

MOQ is typically 10 pieces, subject to product, material and manufacturing-route review.

Sample review

~20days

Freight, import duties and taxes are separate.

Conditions

Samples are typically reviewed on an approximately 20-day basis. BYBOLT may cover agreed sample manufacturing; buyer freight, import duties and taxes remain separate.

Production review

25–35days

Urgent requirements can be discussed.

Conditions

Regular production is commonly reviewed on a 25–35 day basis. Urgent requirements can be discussed against the complete specification.

Typical deposit

Conditions

Payment can be arranged by T/T or LianLian. A typical order uses a 30% deposit, with the balance completed before dispatch.

Technical help

Does F593 Group 1 guarantee that the bolts are Type 304?

Group 1 contains several alloys. Specify 304 and S30400 explicitly when that is the required material, together with the condition and edition. This keeps the grade choice clear in the quotation and material records.

Can an F593 304 bolt callout be used unchanged for metric threads?

F593 is an inch-fastener specification. A metric order needs its own applicable finished-bolt acceptance basis in addition to the metric dimensions and thread class. Keep the stock identity and final worked condition explicit for either unit system.
