This British Standard has been prepared under the direction of the Road
Engineering Standards Committee and is identical with ISO 7852:1983
Earth-moving machinery Plough bolt heads Shapes and dimensions
(excluding thread dimensions), published by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO).
ISO 7852 was produced as a result of international discussion in which the UK
took an active part.
Terminology and conventions. The text of the International Standard has
been approved as suitable for publication as a British Standard without
deviation. Some terminology and certain conventions are not identical with those
used in British Standards; attention is drawn especially to the following.
The comma has been used as a decimal marker. In British Standards it is current
practice to use a full point on the baseline as the decimal marker.
Where the words International Standard appear, referring to this standard,
they should be read as British Standard.

This International Standard specifies the shapes

and lays down the dimensions of the heads of plough
bolts (excluding thread dimensions) used for
mounting of cutting edges, end bits, bucket
teeth etc. of earth-moving machinery as defined
in ISO 6165 taking into consideration the
interchangeability.
