Foreword
This standard makes reference to the following British Standards:
BS 427, Method for Vickers hardness test Part 1: Testing of metals.
BS 860, Table for comparison of hardness scales.
BS 970, Wrought steels in the form of bars, billets, and forgings, up to 6 in ruling
section, for automobile and general engineering purposes. En series.
BS 1133, Packaging code. Section 6. Temporary protection of metal surfaces
against corrosion (during transport and storage).
BS 1134, Centre-line-average height method for the assessment of surface texture.
BS 1407, High carbon bright steel (silver steel).
BS 1423, High carbon oil-hardening steel (precision finish).
BS 1916, Limits and fits for engineering.
Obsolescent (by Amendment No. 1) The need for the pins covered by this British
Standard has been reviewed and it has been decided that, in the interests of
rationalization, they should be regarded as obsolescent. Their use for new designs
is not therefore recommended. The standard will be withdrawn in due course.
NOTE Even though this standard has largely been superseded by BS EN 28734:1992 and
BS EN 22338:1992, it has not been withdrawn but declared obsolescent as it is recognized that it
should remain available for the servicing of existing designs which are expected to have a long
working life.
This Part 2 or BS 1804 has been published under the authority of the Mechanical
Engineering Industry Standards Committee, and forms a companion volume to
Part 1, inch series.
An attempt has been made to set out a range of metric stock sizes that will satisfy
European demands. These sizes are jointly based upon those given in the
equivalent Austrian and ISO proposal documents. It is recognized that the
cylindrical surface of precision ground parallel dowel pins sometimes has a
functional duty necessitating numerical control of surface texture.
In order to avoid confusion about the meanings of the various terms used to
describe dowel pins, the terms precision ground parallel dowel pin, ground
parallel dowel pin and parallel dowel pin have been defined in this standard.
Dowel pins are normally used to locate two or more components to a required
degree of accuracy. In order to provide for varying degrees of accuracy three
grades have been standardized.
Attention is specially called to the danger which may arise when fitting dowel
pins into blind holes. A suggestion for preventing this danger is made in an
appendix.
A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a
contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application.
Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity
from legal obligations.
Summary of pages
This document comprises a front cover, an inside front cover, pages i and ii,
pages 1 to 4, an inside back cover and a back cover.
This standard has been updated (see copyright date) and may have had
amendments incorporated. This will be indicated in the amendment table on the

BS 1804-2:1968
1 Scope
This British Standard specifies requirements for
cylindrical parallel steel dowel pins used normally
for the accurate location of components relative to
each other.
Three grades are included:
Grade 1. Precision ground parallel dowel pins.
Grade 2. Ground parallel dowel pins.
Grade 3. Parallel dowel pins.

3 Material
Dowel pins shall be manufactured from steels as
follows.
3.1 Grade 1 and 2 steel dowel pins shall be
manufactured from En 32A or En 32B low carbon
steel conforming to BS 9701), or from high carbon
steel conforming to either BS 14072) or BS 14233).
3.2 Grade 3 steel dowel pins shall be manufactured
from En 1A free cutting steel conforming to
BS 9701).
4 Hardness
The dowel pins shall be supplied in accordance with
the following requirements.
4.1 Grade 1 steel dowel pins. Dowel pins
manufactured from steel to BS 9701) En 32A and B
shall conform to the following requirements for
hardness:
below 4 mm diameter: unhardened;
4 mm diameter and above: hardened to a
minimum of 750 HV 30 BS 4274).
Dowel pins manufactured from steels conforming
to BS 14072) and BS 14233) shall have a
hardness within the range 600 HV to 700 HV 30
BS 4274).
The values on other hardness scales may be used
in accordance with BS 8605).
4.2 Grades 2 and 3 steel dowel pins. The dowel
pins shall be supplied in the unhardened condition
except when otherwise agreed between the
purchaser and the manufacturer.
4.3 Alternative steels. When steels other than the
standard range are used (see Clause 3) the hardness
shall be as agreed between the purchaser and the
manufacturer.
6 Dimensions
The range of diameters and lengths in which the
various grades of dowel pins shall be available as
standard are given in Table 2.

NOTE The tolerances of Grade 1 and 2 steel dowel pins have been chosen so that, when used in standard reamed holes
(H7 and H8 tolerance zone), they should function satisfactorily. If not satisfactory, BS 1916, Part 1, Limits and tolerances, should
be consulted, and a different class of fit chosen.
a
This tolerance is larger than given in BS 1916, and has been included because a tighter tolerance would involve precision
grinding by the manufacturer which is uneconomic for a Grade 2 steel dowel pin.

8 Surface texture
When assessed in accordance with BS 11347), the
roughness of the cylindrical surface of Grades 1
and 2 steel dowel pins shall be not greater
than 0.4 m C.L.A. (16 C.L.A.).
11 Marking
Each package or lot of dowel pins shall bear the
manufacturers name or trade mark, the number of
this British Standard and the grade of dowel pin,
e.g. BS 1804-2, Grade 2.
NOTE The mark BS 1804-2 on or in relation to the product is a
claim by the manufacturer that it complies with the
requirements of the standard.
The British Standards Institution is the owner of a registered
certification trade mark. This is shown below, enclosed in the
words, Approved to British Standard. This mark can be used
only by manufacturers licensed under the certification mark
scheme operated by the BSI. The presence of this mark on or in
relation to a product is an assurance that the goods have been
produced to comply with the requirements of the British
Standard under a system of supervision, control and testing
operated during manufacture and including periodical inspection
at the manufacturers works in accordance with the certification
mark scheme of the BSI.
Further particulars of the terms of licence may be obtained from
the Director, British Standards Institution, 2 Park Street,
London W.1.
10 Anti-corrosion treatment
The dowel pins shall be given suitable anti-corrosion
treatment in accordance with BS 1133, Section 68).
