T 15389 is the international standard for threaded rod — gb/t 15389 / din 939 (series 095). This page sets out what the standard governs, the size range it specifies, and the related standards you will see referenced in datasheets.
T 15389 — Scope
T 15389 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of threaded rod — gb/t 15389 / din 939 (series 095). 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
T 15389, alongside the related GB/T 15389 / DIN 939 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.

Companion Standards
T 15389 controls only the geometry of threaded rod — gb/t 15389 / din 939 (series 095). 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 T 15389
Choose T 15389 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for threaded rod — gb/t 15389 / din 939 (series 095).
