ANSI specifications

[Paul McGarr]

Where do you guys go for information on a particular ANSI spec? I am looking for data on an unusual size metric SHCS and figured i'd look at ANSI B18.3.1M, but can't find a place to get it. I can buy it, and I might, but I won't always want to spend money on a freakin standard. This is just an example. I'd imagine the answer to this example is in the Machinery's Handbook, but that's nut usually the case.

 

Is there a website I can use to access ANSI documents? Is there a "bible" I can buy?

 

What do you guys/gals do?

What kind of data are you looking for exactly? What unusual size is it?

[Paul McGarr]

M1.8 x 0.35

 

I'm compiling a database of metric SHCS data like head diameter, body drill, head height, etc. I'm sure I can search for, and find, the information in this example, but it's a constant problem, and I'd like to know if there is good reference out there to ANSI standards.

Machinery's Handbook has a section on Metric fasteners. Page 1559 in the 27th edition.

DIN standards are metric based. Look there.
