ASTM A325 Bolt Dimensions Table, Sizes, Strength
ASTM A325 bolts are one of the most commonly used fasteners, generally used for structural steel connections in heavy steel structures. It contains two types of hardened and tempered steel heavy hex structural screws:
- Type 1: medium carbon, carbon boron or medium carbon alloy steel,
- Type 3: Heavy-duty steel.
- Type 2: withdrawn in 1991.
The ASTM A325 standard was withdrawn in 2016 and replaced by ASTM F3125/F3125M. Except for dimensions, the information on this page is for reference and historical purposes only.

ASTM A325 Bolt Strength
The strength of ASTM A325 bolt is summarized in the table below, including tensile strength, yield strength and hardness, etc.
Grades:
The stress area is calculated as follows:
A is = 0.7854 [D-(0.9743/n)]
- A is = tension area, in 2 ,
- D = nominal screw size, and
- n = threads per inch.
