PLEASE NOTE:
The new F3125 specification is a consolidation and replacement of six ASTM standards, including; A325, A325M, A490, A490M, F1852, and F2280. Until the F3125 specification is more widely used and until the A325 and A490 specifications have been eliminated by ASTM, we will continue to manufacture and sell A325 and A490 heavy hex structural bolts under their existing specification requirements, unless F3125 is referenced in the inquiry and/or purchase order.

ASTM A490 (F3125)

Structural bolts, steel, heat treated, 150 ksi minimum tensile strength.

The ASTM A490 specification cover quenched and tempered, alloy steel, heavy hex structural bolts from 1/2″ diameter through 1-1/2″ diameter with a minimum 150 ksi tensile. These bolts are intended for use in structural connections and therefore have shorter thread lengths than standard hex bolts.

A490 bolts are similar in application and dimensions to A325 heavy hex structural bolts but are made from an alloy steel rather than a medium carbon steel, resulting in a higher strength fastener. The A490 specification is applicable to heavy hex structural bolts only.

For bolts with different thread lengths than specified for structural bolts but with similar mechanical properties, see Specification A354-BD. ASTM A490 bolts shall not be coated by hot-dip galvanizing, mechanical deposition, or electroplating with zinc due to the potential risk of hydrogen embrittlement. ASTM has approved coating A490 bolts with Zinc/Aluminum Corrosion Protective Coatings per ASTM F1136 Grade 3, commercially called dacromet. Additional testing in the form of Magnetic Particle Inspection for Longitudinal Discontinuities and Transverse Cracks is a requirement of the A490 specification.
