JIS B 1186 High Strength Structural Bolts
JIS B 1186 bolts are high-strength structural fasteners specified for friction grip joints in steel structures. The standard covers complete sets consisting of a high-strength hexagon bolt, hexagon nut and plain washers, designed to work together to provide reliable and controlled friction-type connections. JIS B 1186 assemblies are manufactured according to requirements for dimensions, mechanical properties, thread specifications and torque coefficient values, making them suitable for demanding structural applications.
JIS B 1186 bolts are available in metric sizes and applicable strength classifications such as F8T and F10T. The standard also specifies requirements for materials, lubrication, corrosion protection, inspection and marking. These high-strength bolting assemblies are commonly used in steel buildings, bridges, industrial structures and infrastructure projects where reliable friction grip connections and controlled tightening performance are required.


Specification:
JIS B 1186 specifies sets of high-strength hexagon bolts, hexagon nuts and plain washers for friction grip joints, primarily used in steel structures. The standard defines requirements for the dimensions, screw threads, mechanical properties, torque coefficient values, materials, lubrication and anticorrosive treatment, inspection and marking of the complete bolting set. Metric coarse threads are specified according to JIS B 0205-3, with thread tolerances according to JIS B 0209-2. Bolt threads are manufactured by thread rolling, and thread inspection can be carried out using the limit gauges specified in JIS B 0251. Mechanical and dimensional inspections are performed according to the applicable JIS test methods and requirements.
