1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of half-length 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 ).
