Foreword
Publishing information
This British Standard is published by BSI Standards Limited, under licence from
The British Standards Institution, and came into effect on 29 February 2016.
It was prepared by Technical Committee ACE/12, Aerospace fasteners and
fastening. A list of organizations represented on this committee can be obtained
on request to its secretary.
Supersession
This British Standard supersedes BS A 266 to A 271:1977, which is withdrawn.
Presentational conventions
The provisions of this standard are presented in roman (i.e. upright) type.
Its requirements are expressed in sentences in which the principal auxiliary verb
is “shall”.
Commentary, explanation and general informative material is presented in
smaller italic type, and does not constitute a normative element.
1 Scope
This British Standard specifies the materials, dimensions, finish and inspection
requirements for titanium alloy bolts with 100° countersunk heads and UNJF
threads for aerospace use.
NOTE The values in Imperial British units are to be regarded as the standard.
CAUTION. A269 has cadmium as a plating material, which has been restricted
and/or banned for use in many countries owing to environmental and health
concerns; they should not be used in new product designs. Local officials
should be consulted about any concerns on using cadmium-plated parts.
