INTERNATIONAL BRIEF: DIN Issues New Fastener Handbook
John Wolz
DIN, the Deutsches Institut f�r Normung e.V., has published a new fastener handbook in an English edition.
DIN Handbook 43, the second English edition, includes 83 standards for pins, rivets, keys, nails, and retaining and adjusting rings. The 440-page Handbook 43 complements three other handbooks on fasteners, numbers 10 and 140, which are dimensional standards for bolts, screws, studs and nuts, and Handbook 55, which covers technical delivery conditions for fasteners.
DIN also issued the 630-page DIN Handbook 3 with 70 mechanical engineering standards on steel, cast iron and nonferrous metal semi-finished products, springs and other items. It is the companion volume to Handbook 1, which deals with physical quantities, metrology, tolerances and fit, screw threads, gearing, technical drawings and surface roughness.
