Standards & threads
Finished boltASTM F593Alloy Group 1 · 304L · CW · inch series
Specify 304L explicitly rather than Group 1 alone. Scope: nominal 1/4–1-1/2 in.; this is not a metric specification. Identify the exact alloy, condition and edition.
A low-carbon material certificate and final cold-worked bolt properties are separate checks.
Raw material specificationASTM A276/A276M / ASTM A479/A479MUNS S30403
S30403 · 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
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
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.

Example dimensions, not a stock size.
Simplified right-hand thread appearance. No tolerance, fit or standard compliance is simulated.
Head dimensions · optional
Head proportions are illustrative: s = 1.5d, k = 0.625d. They are not standard-table values and will not be submitted as specified dimensions.
Quality documents
Heat number traceability
Every delivery traceable by heat number
Mechanical testing

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.

Low-carbon identity
S30403 and any explicit 304 / 304L dual-certification requirement.
Sets the chemistry evidence required on the certificate.
Thermal context
Relevant welding / heating history and specified final condition.
Explains the selection basis without assuming the bolt will be welded.
Bolt strength
Required fastener standard, property class and acceptance tests.
Keeps low carbon separate from mechanical-class selection.
Commercial terms
Indicative terms; confirmed in your quotation.
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

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
How do I make sure a Group 1 bolt order retains 304L?
Write 304L and UNS S30403 on the order rather than Group 1 alone. Request material records that support the low-carbon identity, then specify the required finished condition and mechanical acceptance separately.
Does a 304L material certificate establish the bolt strength?
It supports the material identity and the properties actually reported for that product form. The final bolt’s cold-worked condition, diameter and applicable fastener requirements determine the required finished-part evidence.
