Anchor Bolts & Fasteners with ASTM F3125 Specification
B&B Electro-Mechanical (BBEM) offers a wide variety of ASTM F3125-approved anchor bolts and other fasteners. Request a quote on ASTM F3125 anchor bolts for your application, or contact us for more information.
ASTM F3125 bolts are further divided into two strength grades, two styles (hex head bolts and twist-off bolts), and two types.
Types are designated by material of construction: Type 1 covers 120ksi bolts manufactured from carbon, carbon boron, alloy, or alloy boron steel, as well as 150ksi bolts manufactured from alloy or alloy boron steel; Type 3 covers all ASTM F3125 anchor bolts manufactured from weathering steel.
As of 2016, ASTM F3125 has largely replaced ASTM A325 [link to ASTM A325 page] and ASTM A490 [link to ASTM A490 page] specifications. Bolts under the former ASTM F1852 and F2280 standards are now covered under ASTM F3125, as well.
What is ASTM F3125?
ASTM F3125 is a specification from ASTM International that calls out chemical, mechanical, and physical standards for structural bolts made from steel and alloy steels. This specification covers high-strength bolts in sizes from 1/2” to 1-1/2” in diameter.ASTM F3125 bolts are further divided into two strength grades, two styles (hex head bolts and twist-off bolts), and two types.
- ASTM F3125 Grade 120ksi anchor bolts offer minimum tensile strength of 120ksi
- ASTM F3125 Grade 150ksi bolts offer minimum tensile strength of 150ksi
Types are designated by material of construction: Type 1 covers 120ksi bolts manufactured from carbon, carbon boron, alloy, or alloy boron steel, as well as 150ksi bolts manufactured from alloy or alloy boron steel; Type 3 covers all ASTM F3125 anchor bolts manufactured from weathering steel.
