GOST Standards for Fasteners, List of Standards by Category

GOST standards for fasteners are regulatory and technical documentation for fastener products manufactured according to GOST. These are the core standards ensuring safety and a consistent quality level for fasteners and hardware across Russia and the CIS countries. This section presents fastener specifications under GOST in text, PDF and doc formats.

Scope and purpose

GOST is a system of state standards of the USSR, adopted as an interstate system by the CIS Council for Standardization, Metrology and Certification. In Russia, the procedure for implementing regulatory and technical documents, from development to application, is governed by Gosstandart. The general document with terms and definitions covering all types of fastener products is GOST 27017-86.

To designate state or national standards for bolts, screws and other types of fasteners, the abbreviation GOST R is used together with a numeric code. This marking is used exclusively for new fastener specifications.

Interstate and national standards establish norms, requirements and technical characteristics of fastener products. The documents specify the following information:

• name, definition and material;
• head configuration and other design features;
• type, size and other thread characteristics;
• main dimensions of the fastener in millimeters;
• mechanical strength indicators, permissible loads and required tightening torque.

For use in harsh conditions and exposure to aggressive environments, fasteners made of stainless steel or with anti-corrosion coating are used. The type of protective coating that provides corrosion resistance is also specified in the documentation.

Benefits of using standards

The presence of a national or interstate standard designation in fastener marking is a guarantee of quality. The parameters and properties of hex head bolts, screws, nuts and other types of fasteners meet the specified indicators. Fastener products manufactured under interstate and national standards ensure reliable fastening of structures and withstand the loads specified by the regulatory document.

Regulatory and technical documentation helps objectively evaluate products and provides the basis for fastener classification. It has also made it possible to develop GOST, ISO and DIN equivalence tables, which allow selecting foreign equivalents when the required domestically manufactured products are unavailable.
