1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of half-length reverse taper
grooved pins made of steel or austenitic stainless steel which have three equally
spaced grooves impressed longitudinally on their exterior surface, with nominal diameter,
d 1 , from 1,5 mm to 25 mm inclusive.
The displaced material to each side of the grooves forming an expanded diameter d 2 which is larger than the nominal diameter d 1 will cause a non-positive locking fit when these grooved pins are forced into a drilled
hole equal to the nominal diameter d 1 (see clause 4 ).
