Abstract / scope
This document specifies the characteristics of grooved pins with round head, full-length diamond grooves and pilot point or chamfered point, in steel and stainless steel, and with nominal diameter 2 mm to 20 mm.
These grooved pins are designed to fulfil the main following function: locking together two or more parts, with the easiest installation (due to the pilot or chamfer point) and a highest level of pull-out resistance (due to the elastic fit behaviour of the pin).
The general requirements (including functional principles for grooved pins and assembly) are specified in ISO 13669.
