FOREWORD

American National Standards Committee B18 for thestandardization of bolts, screws, nuts, rivets, and similarfasteners was organized in March 1922, as SectionalCommittee B18 under the aegis of the American Engi-neering Standards Committee (later the American Stan-dards Association, then the United States of AmericaStandards Institute and, as of October 6, 1969, the Ameri-can National Standards Institute, Inc.), with the Societyof Automotive Engineers and the American Society ofMechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. Subcommittee31 was subsequently established and charged with theresponsibility for technical content of standards coveringslotted and recessed head screws.

An American Standard setting forth slotted head pro-portions was approved and published in April of 1930.Over the years following the Issuance of this document,the need for standards more comprehensive than headconfigurations became apparent. At a meeting held onApril 14, 1942, Subcommittee 31 was reorganized andenlarged, and the following operating scope was estab-lished:

The scope of Subcommittee 31 shall consist of thedevelopment and promulgation of American Standardsembracing screw products variously known as machinescrews, wood screws, tapping screws, slotted head capscrews, slotted headless set screws, and machine screwnuts. The standards shall comprise complete productstandards covering all dimensions and tolerancesrequired for the specification and production of theproducts. Details shall include boundary dimensions,such as nut width and thickness; screw head dimensions;slot and recess dimensions; body dimensions; threadclassification or thread detail, as required; thread length;point design; chamfers; underhead fillets; and support-ing general specifications covering the quality, finish,and the acceptable tolerances and limits as well as anyinformation that may be necessary to insure satisfactoryapplication of the products.

Several meetings of the Subcommittee over the ensu-ing 3 years resulted in the development and acceptanceof a proposed revision containing complete productstandards coverage for slotted and recessed headmachine, tapping and wood screws; slotted head andhexagon head cap screws; and slotted headless setscrews. Following approval by the B18 Committee andsponsor organizations, this proposal was forwarded tothe American Standards Association and declared an

vi

American Standard, ASA B18.6, on April 12, 1947.Recognizing the need for further refinements, Sub-

committee 31 at a meeting held on February 1, 1951,established three standing working subgroups: one todevelop details pertinent to tapping screw threads; asecond to review, revise, and develop head dimensionsand tolerances; and a third to correlate and edit thetechnical information emanating from the other twogroups. Also at this meeting, numerous suggestedchanges were reviewed and assigned to the respectivesubgroups for further development. Additional meet-ings of the Subcommittee were held on October 9, 1952,October 29, 1953, and April 1 and 2, 1954. Between eachof these meetings the subgroups held numerous work-ing sessions and carried on technical development incooperation with the technical committees of the U.S.Machine Screw and Tapping Screw Service Bureaus.

At the April 1954 meeting, Subcommittee 3,1 conte-mplating a partial revision of the ASA B18.6 document,recommended the publication of standards for woodscrews, cap and set screws, machine screws, and tappingand drive screws in four separate documents, each ofwhich would consist of a complete product specification.This approach was confirmed by the B18 Committeewith the further stipulation that the coverage for hexa-gon head cap screws, square head set screws, andmachine screw nuts from the ASA B18.2 standard betransferred to the documents covering cap and setscrews and machine screws, respectively. It was under-stood that jurisdiction over the square head set screwsand hexagon head cap screws would remain with Sub-committee 2 and that Subcommittee 31 would retainresponsibility for machine screw nuts. Following thisconfirmation and additional direction, the preparationof proposals for the new documents was undertaken.

The proposed standard covering slotted and recessedhead machine screws and machine screw nuts wasapproved by Subcommittee 31 at a meeting held onDecember 6, 1955. After being circulated to industry forcomment, it was revised and subsequently approved byletter ballot of the B18 Committee in March of 1958.The proposal was, however, redrafted to incorporateadditional revisions and refinements adopted by Sub-committee 31 at meetings held on October 30, 1958 andSeptember 17, 1959. The revised proposal was recircu-lated to the B18 Committee and was approved by thesponsor organizations and the American StandardsAssociation and formally designated an American Stan-dard, ASA B18.6.3, on February 12, 1962.

Following issuance of the 1962 document, Subcommit-tee 31 and the working subgroups continued to developrevisions and refinements reflecting changes in industrypractices and technical improvements. Work over theintervening years culminated in the Subcommittee 6acceptance of a draft dated November 1969, incorporat-ing revisions in the following areas: inclusion of TypeIA cross recess data; addition of the No. 0000, 000, and00 sizes to most slotted head styles; extensions of size

coverage for 100 deg flat countersunk heads and bindingheads in smaller sizes, and for pan heads in larger sizes;redimensioning of flat and oval countersunk heads; revi-sion of thread lengths; inclusion of appendices for wob-ble gaging of recessed heads and wrench sizes for squareand hex products; and a complete revamping of theformat.

This revision was approved as an American NationalStandard on May 22, 2003.

1 INTRODUCTORY NOTES

1.1 Scope

This Standard is intended to cover the complete gen-eral and dimensional data for the various types of slottedand recessed head machine screws and machine screwnuts recognized as American National Standard. Alsoincluded are appendices that provide specifications andinstructions for the protrusion gaging of flat count-ersunk head screws; across-corners gaging of hex headscrews; penetration gaging and wobble gaging ofrecessed head screws; wrench openings for hex andsquare products; thread dimensions for the No. 0000,No. 000, and No. 00 sizes; and formulas on which dimen-sional data are based. It shall be understood, however,that where questions arise concerning acceptance ofproduct, the dimensions in the tables shall govern overrecalculation by formula.

The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard isnot intended to imply that all of the products describedare stock production sizes. Consumers should consultwith suppliers concerning the availability of products.

1.2 Machine Screw Head Types

The head types covered by this Standard include thosecommonly recognized as being applicable to machinescrews and are enumerated and described in the follow-ing paragraphs.

1.2.1 Flat Countersunk Head. The flat countersunkhead has a flat top surface and a conical bearing surfacewith a head angle for one style of approximately 82deg and for another style of approximately 100 deg.Dimensions are given in Tables 1A through 1E, and 2Athrough 2D, respectively. Dimensions of close tolerance100 deg flat countersunk heads are given in Tables 3Athrough 3D.

1.2.2 Oval Countersunk Head. The oval countersunkhead has a rounded top surface and a conical bearingsurface with a head angle of approximately 82 deg.Dimensions are given in Tables 4A through 4E.

1.2.3 Undercut Flat and Oval Countersunk Heads. Forshort lengths, 82 deg flat and oval countersunk headmachine screws have heads undercut to 70% of normalside height to afford greater length of thread on thescrews. Dimensions are given in Tables 5A through 5E,and 6A through 6E, respectively.

1

1.2.4 Flat and Oval Countersunk Trim Heads. Flat andoval countersunk trim heads are similar to the 82 degflat and oval countersunk heads except that the size ofhead for a given size screw is one or two sizes smallerthan the regular flat and oval countersunk head size,and oval countersunk trim heads have a controlledradius where the curved top surface meets the conicalbearing surface. Trim heads are furnished only in crossrecessed head types. Dimensions are given in Tables 7Athrough 7C, and 8A through 8C, respectively.

1.2.5 Pan Head. The slotted pan head has a flat topsurface rounded into cylindrical sides and a flat bearingsurface. The recessed pan head has a rounded top sur-face blending into cylindrical sides and a flat bearingsurface. Dimensions are given in Tables 9A through 9H.

1.2.6 Fillister Head. The fillister head has a roundedtop surface, cylindrical sides, and a flat bearing surface.Dimensions are given in Tables 10A through 10E.Dimensions of drilled fillister head machine screws aregiven in Table 11.

2 GENERAL DATA

2.1 Heads

2.1.1 Head Height. All dimensions pertaining to headheight specified in the dimensional tables shall be mea-sured parallel to the axis of screw and those relating tothe top of head shall represent a metal-to-metal measure-ment. In other words, any truncation of rounded headcontours due to the slot or recess shall not be consideredpart of the head height.

Total or overall head heights shall be measured fromthe top of the head to the plane of the bearing surfacefor flat bearing surface type heads, to the plane of theundercut for undercut countersunk heads, and to thejunction of the conical bearing surface with the basicscrew diameter for countersunk heads.

Head side heights shall be measured from the theoreti-cal intersection of the top surface of head with the headdiameter to the plane of the bearing surface for flatbearing surface type heads, to the plane of the undercutfor undercut countersunk heads, and to the junction ofthe conical bearing surface with the basic screw diameterfor countersunk heads.

On countersunk heads, the junction of the conicalbearing surface with the basic screw diameter may notnecessarily be the same as the actual junction of headwith shank and the head height delineating the conicalbearing surface is a reference dimension.

2.1.2 Bearing Surface. The bearing surface of flatbearing surface type machine screw heads shall be per-pendicular to the axis of the screw shanks within 2 deg.

2.1.3 Gaging of Recess. The penetration gagingdepth of the recess in recessed head screws shall be theprimary inspection criteria.

GENERAL NOTE: For additional requirements, refer to para. 2.

NOTES:(1) Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be

omitted.(2) Screws of these lengths and shorter shall have undercut heads as shown in Table 5B.(3) Tabulated values determined from formula for maximum H in Appendix A.(4) No tolerance for gaging diameter is given. If the gaging diameter of the gage used differs from tabulated value, the pro-

trusion will be affected accordingly and the proper protrusion values must be recalculated using the formulas shown inAppendix I.

GENERAL NOTE: For additional requirements, refer to para. 2.

NOTES:(1) Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be

omitted.(2) Screws of these lengths and shorter are undercut. Screws of longer lengths shall have head heights as shown in Table

1A.(3) No tolerance for gaging diameter is given. If the gaging diameter of the gage used differs from tabulated value, the pro-

trusion will be affected accordingly and the proper protrusion values must be recalculated using the formulas shown inAppendix I.

(4) Not practical to gage.

GENERAL NOTE: For additional requirements, refer to para. 2.

NOTES:(1) Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be

omitted.(2) “R” in the recess size tabulation means regular depth recess.(3) Square recesses incorporate a slight taper on the sides of the recess. This taper can result in loss of penetration gaging

depth on finished fasteners due to the build up of plating in the recesses. The recess penetration dimensions specifiedhere are for finished (plated) product. Manufacturers should be advised that they should not use all this tolerance inthe heading process, or an out of tolerance condition could exist after plating.

GENERAL NOTE: For additional requirements, refer to para. 2.

NOTES:(1) Break sharp edge on head where spherical and conical surfaces meet.(2) Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be

omitted.(3) “R” in the recess size tabulation means regular depth recess, and the “S” means short depth recess.(4) Square recesses incorporate a slight taper on the sides of the recess. This taper can result in loss of penetration gaging

depth on finished fasteners due to the build up of plating in the recesses. The recess penetration dimensions specifiedhere are for finished (plated) product. Manufacturers should be advised that they should not use all this tolerance inthe heading process, or an out of tolerance condition could exist after plating.

GENERAL NOTE: For additional requirements, refer to para. 2.

NOTES:(1) Unless otherwise specified by purchaser, hex washer head machine screws are not slotted.(2) Fillet radius R at junction of sides of hex and top of washer shall not exceed 0.15 times the basic screw diameter.(3) A slight rounding of all edges and corners of the hex surfaces shall be permissible.(4) Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be

omitted.(5) Dimensions across flats and across corners of the head shall be measured at the point of maximum metal. Taper of

sides of hex (angle between one side and the axis) shall not exceed 2 deg or 0.004 in. whichever is greater, the speci-fied width across flats being the large dimension.

(6) The rounding due to lack of fill on all six corners of the head shall be reasonably uniform and the width across cornersof the head shall be such that when a sharp ring having an inside diameter equal to the specified minimum widthacross corners is placed on the top of the head, the hex portion of the head shall protrude by an amount equal to, orgreater than, the F value tabulated. See Appendix II for across corners gaging of hex heads.

(7) Slot depth beyond bottom of indentation shall not be less than one-third of the minimum slot depth specified.

MANDATORY APPENDIX IPROTRUSION GAGING OF FLAT COUNTERSUNK HEADS

Suitability of flat countersunk head screws, except theNo. 0000, No. 000, and No. 00 sizes, and undercut flatcountersunk head screws, except the No. 0 and No. 1sizes, for application in countersinks designed to theprincipal dimensions of the screws may be determinedby the use of a protrusion gage as illustrated in Fig. I-1.

The gaging dimensions and the gage diameters arespecified in the dimensional tables for flat countersunkhead and undercut flat countersunk head screws. Theprotrusion limits shown in the tables shall apply onlywhen the gaging diameter is exactly as indicated withthe gaging edge of a sharpness obtained by lapping thehole and the top surface of the gage. Any variation in thegaging diameter will require recalculation of protrusionvalues by the original formulas given below:

Maximum protrusion:1,2

2 �1 Protrusion values shown in dimensional tables were calculated

from these formulas and rounded to the nearest 0.001 in., upwardfor the maximum and downward for the minimum.

MANDATORY APPENDIX IIACROSS-CORNERS GAGING OF HEX HEADS

Suitability of across-corners dimensions of hex headand hex washer head screws may be determined by theuse of gaging rings as described below.

When the gaging ring is placed on the top of a hexor hex washer head screw, and also the bottom of a hexhead screw, at right angles to the axis of the screw,the head (hex portion of washer head) must protrudebeyond the ring by an amount equal to 60% of the mini-mum head height H. For convenience, the minimumprotrusion values are given in the dimensional tablesfor hex and hex washer head screws.

The gaging ring shall have an inside diameter equalto the tabulated minimum width across-corners, withina tolerance of plus 0.0003 in. The gaging edges of thering shall be sharp and opposite faces shall be parallel.To insure adequate service life, the ring should be madeof tool steel and have a hardness of not less than 60Rockwell C.

A typical gaging fixture is shown in Fig. II-1 with anexplanation of its application; however, any equivalentmeans may be used.

Fig. II-1 Typical Gaging Fixture

To check hex head screws from the top, an initialreading shall be taken with the gaging ring placed onthe indexing plate. Then, with the screw placed in thefixture, the gaging ring shall be placed on top of thescrew head and a second reading taken. The differencebetween the two readings is equal to the protrusion Fof the head beyond the gaging ring.

To check hex washer head screws, the gaging proce-dure shall be exactly the same as that for checking hexhead screws from the top. However, in this case thedifference X between the two readings includes thewasher thickness and it is necessary to deduct the actual(measured) thickness of the washer portion from thedifference X to obtain the protrusion F of the hex beyondthe gaging ring.

Gaging the bottom of the head on hex head screwsmay be accomplished in the same manner as gaging thetop, except the ring is placed below the head. The sameprotrusion values shall apply.

MANDATORY APPENDIX IIIGAGING OF RECESSED HEADS

III-I PENETRATION GAGING

Penetration gaging is a test to determine the suitabilityof recesses in the heads of screws and may be used toindicate deficiencies in the dimensional aspects of therecesses specified in the dimensional tables. (Refer toFigs. III-1, III-2, III-3, and III-4 for illustrations of penetra-tion gages for Types I, IA, II, and III recesses, respec-tively.) Penetrations that are too deep indicate thepossibility of a thin section between head and shank ofscrew, a weakness that might result in twisting-off screwheads during tightening of the screws. Screws with shal-low penetration might result in production problemssuch as reaming of recess or excessive wear on driverbits.

Penetration gaging depth values for the various stylesof recessed heads are included in the dimensional tablesfor the respective heads. These values were predicatedoriginally on the gaging of plain finish (unplated oruncoated) screws. However, subsequent experience hasshown that the Type I and Type II recess penetrationlimits as tabulated, and the Type IA and Type III recesspenetration depths with the tabulated minimum limitreduced by up to 0.005 in., are suitable for the gaging ofscrews having coating thickness of up to and including0.0003 in., on significant surfaces.

This allowance makes up for the loss of depth broughtabout by the plating buildup on the sides of the recess.

Screws having heavier coatings, which fail to meetminimum penetration, must be stripped of finish andgaged for acceptance or rejection in the plain condition.

Specified in Tables III-1 through III-4 are dimensionsof gage points to be used for penetration gaging theType I, Type IA, Type II, and Type III recesses. Thesegage points approach as nearly as possible the perfectdriver form. Also specified are gage heads and bushings,which adapt the gage points to standard dial gages.

Penetration depths for Types I, IA, and II recessesare gaged relative to a reference plane defined by theintersection of the edge of the recess wings with the topsurface of the screw head. This plane is the same as thetop surface on flat head screws, but is somewhat belowthe topmost point on heads with rounded top surfaces.Knife edges or tapered ridges on the gage head are usedto establish the reference plane.

Penetration depths for Type III recesses are gagedrelative to a reference plane defined by the intersectionof the edge of the recess square with the top surface ofthe screw head. This plane is the same as the top surface

101

Fig. III-1 Penetration Gage for Type I Recess

on flat head screws, but may be somewhat below thetopmost point on heads with rounded top surfaces.

A reverse reading indicator is used to determine thepenetration of the gage point into the recess. The gagemay be zeroed on any flat surface.

III-2 FIT GAGING ON TYPE III RECESSES

In addition to the penetration gage, a “Fit” gage isalso required for Type III recesses. Fit gage points aredimensioned in Table III-8. Fit is gaged by the insertionof the gage point into the recess, and a determinationmade as to how well the gage seats into the recess. Thegage should produce a very tight fit with the recess.This is sometimes referred to a “stick fit.“ A lack of thistight fit may indicate a problem with the shape of therecess.

the fit gage and the penetration gage combine to effec-tively determine the suitability of the Type III recess.

GENERAL NOTES:(a) Although these gages may be used interchangeably, showing identical readings on those sizes of screws where dimen-

sion B of gage head is greater than the recess diameter, the following recommendations may be applied: use 0.093gage for recess diameters up to 0.150 in. (it is not practical to gage screw sizes No. 0 and No. 1 having recess diame-ters of less than 0.102 in. maximum); use 0.141 gage for recess diameters of 0.150 and up to 0.270 in.; use 0.246gage for recess diameters of 0.270 and up to 0.460 in.; and use 0.436 gage for recess diameters of 0.460 and up to0.700 in.

MANDATORY APPENDIX IVWOBBLE GAGING OF RECESSED HEADS

Wobble gaging provides a means for determining thecompatibility of recesses in the heads of screws withcompanion screw drivers, and will indicate the pointwhere deviations in the recess contours affect satisfac-tory driver engagement. Recesses that exhibit excessivewobble characteristics will result in poor screw drive-ability because of driver camout prior to attaining nor-mal torque level, damage to recesses, and/or accelerateddriver wear.

The allowable total wobble gaging limits for the vari-ous types of recesses included herein were predicatedoriginally on the gaging of plain finish (unplated oruncoated) screws. However, subsequent experience hasshown these limits to be suitable for the gaging of screwshaving coating thickness up to and including 0.0003 in.,on significant surfaces. Screws having heavier coatingsthat fail to meet the wobble gaging requirements mustbe stripped of finish and gaged for acceptance or rejec-tion in the plain condition.

Wobble gaging fixtures, as illustrated in Table IV-1,and appropriate recess master plug gages with handlesand position indicators punch for the respective recesstypes are available through the screw suppliers. Dimen-sions of the points on master plug gages are, except forthe body diameters tabulated herein, the same as thosespecified for the respective gage points in Appendix III.

110

The screw to be gaged shall be placed into the screw-holding chuck and oriented such that one set of recesswings or one side is parallel to the upright back plate.The screw shall be so positioned and the chuck shall betightened sufficiently to prevent any tilting of the screwin the chuck when taking wobble readings.

The position gage pointer and handle with the propermaster plug gage for the recess size being checked shallbe positioned in the slot of the degree scale on the topplate and the point of the plug gage inserted into thescrew recess. It is essential that registry between thecross lines of pointer and the recess wings or side bemaintained. To correct any misalignment, the chuckposition lock screw is loosened, the chuck is rotateduntil registry is obtained, and the chuck is raised orlowered until the gage pointer is flush with the top ofthe degree scale. The chuck position lock screw is thentightened and the readings taken. The gage handle, withdownward pressure applied, is moved from side to sideuntil resistance is encountered and the total readingbetween points of travel of the gage pointer is recorded.The allowable angular wobble limits shall not exceedthe values tabulated in Tables IV-2, IV-3, and IV-4. Crosslines on the gage pointer should be rechecked with pluggage wings or flats to make certain cross lines and gagewings or flats are registered on identical radials.
