GB/T 120.1 is the standard cited for internally threaded dowel pin. This page sets out what the standard controls for this part, reproduces the dimensional table supplied against it, and notes the related designations referenced on drawings.
GB/T 120.1 — Scope
GB/T 120.1 specifies the dimensional requirements for internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100). Material, surface condition and any performance rating are set by separate documents specific to this part family — ISO 898-1 and ISO 898-2, which govern bolt and nut property classes, do not apply here.
Tolerance & Product Grades
Tolerances for internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100) are given as limits on the individual dimensions in the table rather than as a fastener product grade. Where a general-tolerance class is cited on the drawing instead, it applies to the dimensions not otherwise toleranced.
Dimensions Specified by GB/T 120.1
| Nominal diameter d (mm) | Length L (mm) | Internal thread | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 | 16 | M3 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 5 | 20 | M4 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 6 | 24 | M4 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 8 | 30 | M5 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 10 | 40 | M6 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 12 | 50 | M8 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
| 16 | 60 | M10 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |

Companion Standards
GB/T 120.1 controls only the geometry of internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100). Surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (for example ISO 4042 for electroplating), and corrosion testing by ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray). Mechanical performance is set by the standards specific to this part family, not by ISO 898-1 or ISO 898-2, which apply to bolts, screws and nuts.
When to Specify GB/T 120.1
Choose GB/T 120.1 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 100).
