Units: no mark = printed in mm and stated by the standard. † = printed with no unit; the inch value is our conversion, reading the figure as mm. Nominal Ø is our reading of the inch code (1/32 in for diameters, 1/16 in for grips). Drill: from the site drill chart, inside the hole range.
Part numbers
Part numbers by diameter code and grip. Grip ranges: inch is our conversion of the mm the standard prints. The rows show the S / A variant: swap the letters for U or B (see What each code means).

Worked example.ASNA0027SB0503 reads: ASNA0027 Maxibolt-type blind bolt, protruding cylindrical head · S washer, -MB heads · B stainless steel · 05 5/32 in, hole 4.16–4.24 mm, drill #19 · 03 3/16 in, stack 3.96–5.59 mm.
From a measured hole or stack to the code
Hole to diameter code. Measure the hole and take the code whose hole range holds it, never the nominal: 05 → 4.16–4.24 · 06 → 5.05–5.13 · 08 → 6.60–6.68 mm.
Stack to grip code. Measure the total thickness to be joined with a grip gauge and take the code whose range holds it, for that diameter: a 4.80 mm stack with diameter 05 → grip 03 (3.96–5.59 mm).
If a segment is missing
Without the standard number the codes cannot be read: grip code 04 is 4.78–6.35 mm on ASNA0077/0078, 5.56–7.16 mm on ASNA0026/0027, 5.59–7.14 mm on ASNA0081/0082.
No type letter: the number is incomplete, and S and U are not the same part (U has no washer and uses the -MBU pulling heads).
No material letter: the number is incomplete; A and B are different materials and strengths, and a default is not given by the standard.
No diameter or grip code: the number names the family only, not a part; a default size is not given by the standard.
No grip code: the number is incomplete; a default grip is not given by the standard.

Inspection limits
Check
Limit, inch first
Gap under the head
Not more than 0.004 in (0.10 mm, printed in mm). Protruding head: on no more than 10 % of the row and never on 2 consecutive fasteners. Countersunk head: over no more than half the periphery, on no more than 20 % of the row, never on 2 consecutive
Countersunk head flush
Ideal 0; accepted +0.05 / −0.10. Unit not stated (the other tolerances on the sheet are mm): not converted
Stem flush B (on the break)
code 05: ±0.010 in (±0.25 mm); code 06: ±0.010 in (±0.25 mm); code 08: ±0.015 in (±0.38 mm). Millimetres printed and stated
Collar flush A (never proud)
code 05: 0 / −0.017 in (−0.43 mm); code 06: 0 / −0.022 in (−0.56 mm); code 08: 0 / −0.029 in (−0.74 mm). Millimetres printed and stated
Collar
Must never stand beyond the stem after the break; check that it is present
Limits as the standard gives them; the aircraft's SRM governs.
Notes from the standard
Part number: ASNA0027 + type letter (S or U) + material letter (A or B) + diameter code (05, 06 or 08) + grip code (02 to 14).
The A and U letters are read from the partner standards (MS90353, CR7310 and the maker's -MBU heads): confirm them on the standard. A stem marked C is stainless; no mark is alloy steel. The rows show the S / A variant; swap the letters as the code table says.
The body is bigger than the nominal fraction: code 05 is 5/32 in nominal (0.156 in) but 0.163 in at the body, and the hole is 0.164–0.167 in. Drill from the hole table, never from the nominal.
Protruding head: deburr the hole edge, up to the largest deburr diameter of the table. The countersink never goes through the sheet: a straight bore of at least 0.008 in (0.2 mm, printed in mm) remains.
The Maxibolt grip code n is shifted 1/32 in against the Cherry-type codes (code 04 is 0.219–0.282 in here, 0.188–0.250 in on CherryMAX). Lengths in work documents are indicative: measure the stack with a grip gauge.
Units: no mark = printed in mm and stated by the standard. † = printed with no unit; the inch value is our conversion, reading the figure as mm. Nominal Ø is our reading of the inch code (1/32 in for diameters, 1/16 in for grips). Drill: from the site drill chart, inside the hole range.
