The Industrial Fasteners Institute (IFI) has announced the launch of the 12th Edition of the IFI Book of Fastener Standards, now available for purchase.

The IFI Book of Fastener Standards serves as the industry’s resource and is a compilation of the most commonly used fastener standards for inch fasteners and non-ISO metric fasteners. In addition to the book’s 96 standards, 30 of which are updated, the 12th edition now includes IFI 171, which covers thread dimensions for the assembly of bolts, studs, and nuts in the steel construction industry. 

The 12th edition represents 83 years of continuous development in fastener standards since the first edition was published in 1941. During this time, copies have been distributed to major manufacturing and construction interests throughout the world. The IFI Book of Fastener Standards is considered a must-have resource for designers, manufacturing engineers, and managers in all industries where mechanical joining is required.

“IFI’s Book of Fastener Standards is known throughout the world as a go-to resource and is really unique because it combines the most requested fastener standards from ASTM, ASME, SAE and IFI in one convenient resource”, said Salim Brahimi, IFI’s Director of Engineering and Technology.
