FOREWORD
In the spring of 2010, the B18 Committee decided that a metric version of ASME B18.2.6,
Fasteners for Use in Structural Applications, should be created for fastener guidance on metric
structural fasteners used in North America. This Standard, ASME B18.2.6M, is the result of that
effort. It was decided that since there were not yet any ASTM material and testing standards for
twist-off bolts, their dimensions should not be included in this initial edition of this Standard.
This Standard does include the dimensions for metric structural bolts, metric heavy hex nuts,
metric structural washers, and metric compressible-washer-type direct tension indicators.
Suggestions for improvement of this Standard are welcome. They should be addressed to the
Secretary, ASME B18 Standards Committee, Three Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990.
This Standard was approved as an American National Standard on February 9, 2012.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B18 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee
by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre-
spondence should be addressed to:
Secretary, B18 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
http://go.asme.org/Inquiry
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the applica-
tion of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be
as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed
description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when
justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to
provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon
ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request
should identify the Standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as a
Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate
the applicable edition(s) of the Standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Interpretations. Upon request, the B18 Committee will render an interpretation of any require-
ment of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written request sent
to the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee.
The request for interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended
that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:
Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is
being requested.
Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement
suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval
of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans
or drawings that are necessary to explain the question; however, they should
not contain proprietary names or information.
Requests that are not in this format may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the Committee
prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an
interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not
“approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.

Attending Committee Meetings. The B18 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings that
are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of
the B18 Standards Committee.
