ASTM A325 High Strength Bolts Guide

ASTM A325 covers high strength heavy hex structural bolts from 1/2" to 1 1/2" in diameter. These bolts are intended for use in structural connections and have shorter thread lengths than standard hex bolts. The specification outlines three types of bolts, allowed connection types, mechanical properties, chemical properties, and recommended nuts and washers.
