Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the
International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 10644 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 10, Product
standards for fasteners.

This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 10644:1998), which has been technically
revised.

following exceptions:

⎯ Bolts and screws shall have a reduced shank of such diameter, ds, that the washer with dimensions in
accordance with ISO 10673 is free to rotate.

NOTE ds ≈ pitch diameter.

⎯ The maximum distance from the underside of the head to the commencement of full thread is increased
by an amount necessary to accommodate the washer thickness for those products which are
approximately threaded to the washer.

For examples of screw and washer assemblies, see Figures 1 and 2.

Figure 1 — Screw threaded up to the washer

Figure 2 — Screw with shank

⎯ The transition diameter, da, as specified in the reference International Standards (see Table 3) shall be
reduced by an amount equivalent to the difference between the nominal diameter, d, and pitch diameter
to create the transition diameter, da1 (see Figure 3 and Table 1). The curvature under head, as specified
in the ISO International Standards for loose parts, shall not be changed.

4 Specifications and reference International Standards

The components of screw and washer assemblies shall satisfy the material and mechanical property
requirements specified in the respective product International Standards in the finished condition.

For referee purposes, in case of dispute, testing of the mechanical properties in accordance with ISO 898-1
shall be carried out with the washer component removed.

The hardness classes of the washers used for screw and washer assemblies shall be as follows:

⎯ property class of screw u 8.8: hardness class of washer 200 HV or 300 HV in accordance with
ISO 10673;

⎯ property class of screw 9.8 and 10.9: hardness class of washer 300 HV in accordance with ISO 10673.

NOTE The washer hardness class of the finished products can be obtained with the production methods described in
Annex A.

5 Screw and washer combinations

The standardized combinations of screws and washers and the symbols to be used for the components are
given in Table 3.

Washers with minimum internal diameter, d1, assembled with screws with maximum transition diameter, da1,
may cause interference between washer and underhead radius. In that case, contact traces at the underhead
radius may appear and the torque/clamp load performance may be affected.

4 © ISO 2009 – All rights reserved

 BS EN ISO 10644:2009
ISO 10644:2009(E)

In order to avoid interference and contact traces, the use of screws with head type U or chamfered washers is
recommended.

Annex A
(informative)

Methods for the production of screw and captive washer assemblies

Unless otherwise agreed between the manufacturer and the purchaser, the manufacturer delivers bolt and
washer assemblies according to the manufacturing method of his choice.

There are two different methods for the production of screw and captive washer assemblies:

a) Method 1 utilizes the practice of assembling a screw blank with a washer and then thread rolling the
assembly. Subsequent heat treating of the assembly completes the process. The material of both the
screw blank and the washer have to be chosen so that all requirements for mechanical properties will be
met.

b) Method 2 utilizes a process in which the fastener blank and the washer component are manufactured
independently, then assembled, and threads are rolled in the hardened condition, i.e. after heat treatment.
