Do not grease, spray, or clean bolts without specific in-<br />

structions from your supervisor. Do not s<strong>to</strong>re new bolts<br />

with used bolts.<br />

Machine Bolts<br />

The machine bolt is commonly used for slip-on and<br />

threaded flanges. Only one heavy hex nut is required for<br />

a machine bolt. Both the bolt and the nut are identified<br />

the same way as for stud bolts.<br />

Measuring Stud Bolts<br />

A fast way <strong>to</strong> measure a stud bolt diameter is by mea-<br />

suring the thickness of the heavy hex nut; for example, a<br />

1/2-in. diameter bolt has a heavy hex nut that is 1/2-in.<br />

thick.<br />

Measure the length of stud bolts <strong>to</strong> the nearest 1/4-in.<br />

from thread <strong>to</strong> thread, less the point heights as shown in<br />

Figure 1-13.<br />
