Full title and description

ST ISO 2936-1983 (rus) — Assembly tools for screws and nuts — Hexagon socket screw keys — Metric series. This entry describes the original ISO 2936:1983 international standard and notes availability of Russian-language editions/translations.

Abstract

ISO 2936 (1983 edition) specifies the dimensional series, designation and marking of hexagon‑socket (Allen‑type) screw keys for metric screws and nuts, together with basic requirements and minimum hardness characteristics where applicable. The 1983 edition has since been withdrawn and later revised editions expanded and consolidated these requirements.

General information

• Status: Withdrawn / superseded.
• Publication date: 1983 (Edition 3 — published December 1983; corrected February 1984 noted).
• Publisher: International Organization for Standardization (ISO).
• ICS / categories: 25.140.30 (Hand-operated assembly tools / hexagon-socket keys).
• Edition / version: Edition 3 (1983).
• Number of pages: 3 (short technical leaflet / tabular dimensions).

Key bibliographic and lifecycle details are recorded on ISO’s catalogue; the 1983 text is listed as withdrawn and later revised by subsequent ISO 2936 editions. Russian-language copies and translations of the 1983 text are available from standards resellers.

Scope

This standard (1983 edition) covers the metric series of hexagon‑socket screw keys used for assembly of screws and nuts: dimensional series (key sizes and recommended tolerances), designation and marking conventions, and basic mechanical/hardness requirements necessary to ensure reliable tightening and to avoid key deformation or screw damage during use. It applies to hexagon socket screw keys used with hexagon‑socket screws and socket set screws within the metric system.

Key topics and requirements

• Dimensional series and nominal sizes for metric hexagon‑socket screw keys (key shank diameters, length proportions, and socket engagement dimensions).
• Designation and marking rules for keys (size marking and identification conventions).
• Minimum material hardness or Rockwell hardness recommendations to resist wear and deformation during tightening.
• Compatibility notes referencing metric screw property classes (to limit recommended application ranges for specific key types).
• Basic testing/inspection principles to verify key dimensions and hardness.

Typical use and users

Manufacturers of hand tools and assembly equipment, fastener producers, product designers, quality and inspection engineers, and technical libraries use this standard as a reference for specifying and verifying hexagon‑socket (Allen) keys for metric fasteners. Workshops and maintenance departments also use the dimensional tables and designation rules when selecting replacement keys. Note: for current practice, consult the latest ISO 2936 edition.

Related standards

ISO 2936 (later editions) — updated revisions published after 1983 (for example ISO 2936:1995 and ISO 2936:2014) contain revised dimensional tables and additional requirements. Other related standards include those for socket screws and fastener property classes (ISO 898 series) and national standards harmonized with ISO 2936.

FAQ

Q: What is this standard?

A: ISO 2936:1983 is the 1983 edition of the international standard that defined metric hexagon‑socket (Allen) screw keys — their sizes, designation and basic requirements. It is commonly cited as ST ISO 2936‑1983 when provided in certain national collections or translated publications.

Q: What does it cover?

A: It covers the metric dimensional series for hexagon‑socket screw keys, marking and designation practices, and basic material/hardness and testing guidance to ensure reliable use with metric hexagon‑socket screws and socket set screws. For detailed modern requirements, consult later revisions.

Q: Who typically uses it?

A: Tool manufacturers, fastener producers, design and quality engineers, maintenance facilities and standards libraries — anyone specifying or verifying hexagon‑socket keys for metric fasteners.

Q: Is it current or superseded?

A: The 1983 edition is withdrawn/superseded. ISO has published later revisions of ISO 2936 (notably editions in years after 1983, including ISO 2936:1995 and ISO 2936:2014). For current, authoritative requirements use the latest published edition (ISO 2936:2014 is a more recent confirmed edition).

Q: Is it part of a series?

A: Yes — ISO 2936 belongs to the family of ISO standards for assembly tools and fasteners (work of ISO/TC 29/SC 10) and is related to standards on screw and bolt property classes (ISO 898 series) and other tool dimension standards.

Q: What are the key keywords?

A: Hexagon socket, Allen key, metric series, assembly tools, ISO 2936, tool dimensions, Rockwell hardness, ST ISO 2936‑1983.
