ISO 8735 is the international standard for internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 099). This page sets out what the standard governs, the size range it specifies, and the related standards you will see referenced in datasheets.
ISO 8735 — Scope
ISO 8735 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 099). Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).
Tolerance & Product Grades
ISO 8735, alongside the related GB/T 120.1 / ISO 8735 entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.
Dimensions Specified by ISO 8735
| 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 |
| 20 | 80 | M12 | Alloy steel | ISO 8736 / GB/T 120 |
Companion Standards
ISO 8735 controls only the geometry of internally threaded dowel pin — gb/t 120.1 / iso 8735 (series 099). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts and screws) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (e.g. ISO 4042 for electroplating). For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).
When to Specify ISO 8735
Choose ISO 8735 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 099).
