ASME B18.18.2-2009

This standard outlines a Quality Assurance (QA) plan for internally and externally threaded fasteners and accessories or associated parts. Provisions are included for sampling plans, inspection frequencies, control procedures, and record keeping. Included in this plan are fasteners such as those where a more detailed inspection would enhance mass assembly operation. The quality assurance plan for these fasteners relies primarily on increased final inspection rather than on documented in-process control. This standard will be used in conjunction with other accepted standards for product, testing, gaging, and material and, therefore, those provisions as well as packaging are not included herein.
