ASTM F1554 Specifications
Technical Menu Posted on July 1st, 2015 by vaproThe specification for ASTM F1554 covers straight and bent, headed and headless, carbon, carbon boron, alloy, or high-strength low alloy steel anchor bolts (also known as anchor rods). The anchor bolts are furnished in three strength grades, and in the sizes specified below
| Grades | |
|---|---|
| F1554 Grade 36 | Low carbon, 36 ksi yield steel anchor bolts |
| F1554 Grade 55 | High strength, low alloy, 55 ksi yield steel anchor bolts |
| F1554 Grade 105 | Alloy, heat treated, high strength 105 ksi yield steel anchor bolts |
**When Grade 36 is specified, a weldable Grade 55 may be furnished at the supplier’s option.
Threading: Threads shall be rolled, cut, or ground at the option of the manufacturer, unless otherwise specified.
