ASME B18.31.1M is a standard developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) that covers the dimensional requirements for metric fasteners. This standard includes specifications for metric screws, bolts, and nuts with threads conforming to the ISO metric screw thread standard (ISO 68-1) and with dimensions based on the International System of Units (SI).
The standard covers a range of sizes for metric fasteners, including M1.6 to M39 for screws and M5 to M39 for bolts and nuts. It also specifies the tolerances and class of fit for the threads and the mechanical and material properties of the fasteners.
ASME B18.31.1M is intended to be used as a reference for the design and specification of metric fasteners in a variety of applications. It is a widely used and internationally recognized standard and is often referenced in the design and procurement of fasteners in a variety of industries.
