ASTM A325 Heavy Hex Structural Bolts

ASTM A325 / A325M Heavy Hex Structural Bolts

The bolts are intended for use in structural connections. These connections are covered under the requirements of the Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 Bolts, approved by the Research Council on Structural Connections, endorsed by the American Institute of Steel Construction and by the Industrial Fastener Institute.

In 2016, ASTM A325 was officially withdrawn and replaced by ASTM F3125, in which A325 now becomes a grade under the F3125 specification.  The F3125 specification is a consolidation and replacement of six ASTM standards, including; A325, A325M, A490, A490M, F1852, and F2280. 

Prior to its withdrawl in 2016, the ASTM A325 specification covered high strength heavy hex structural bolts from 1/2″ diameter through 1-1/2″ diameter. These bolts are intended for use in structural connections and therefore have shorter thread lengths than standard hex bolts. 

This specification is applicable to heavy hex structural bolts only. For bolts of other configurations and thread lengths with similar mechanical properties, see Specification A449.

Bolts for general applications, including anchor bolts, are covered by Specification A449. Also refer to Specification A449 for quenched and tempered steel bolts and studs with diameters greater than 1-1/2″ but with similar mechanical properties.

ASTM A325

Scope The ASTM A325 specification covers high strength heavy hex structural bolts from ½” diameter through 1-1/2” diameter. These bolts are intended for use in structural connections and therefore have shorter thread lengths than standard hex bolts. Refer to the Structural Bolts page of our site for thread lengths and other related dimensions. This specification is applicable to heavy hex structural bolts only. For bolts of other configurations and thread lengths with similar mechanical properties, see Specification A 449. Bolts for general applications, including anchor bolts, are covered by Specification A 449. Also refer to Specification A 449 for quenched and tempered steel bolts and studs with diameters greater than 1-1/2"" but with similar mechanical properties. Types

TYPE 1	Medium carbon, carbon boron, or medium carbon alloy steel.
TYPE 2	Withdrawn November 1991.
TYPE 3	Weathering steel.
T	Fully threaded A325. (Restricted to 4 times the diameter in length)
M	Metric A325.

Connection Types

SC	Slip critical connection.
N	Bearing type connection with threads included in the shear plane.
X	Bearing-type connection with threads excluded from the shear plane.

Mechanical Properties

Size	Tensile, ksi	Yield, ksi	Elong. %, min	RA %, min
