EXPLANATORY NOT-E
P‘il~sstandard on hexagon socket set screws was first issued in 1963 covering the slotted grub
screws as well. In the revision issued in 1971 only set screws of the socket type were covered.
Due to international agreements certain modificationshave become necessary including the
reference to mechanical properties which is now based on hardness values. The terminology has also
been changed to ‘set ’ screws in keeping with the international trend. The type designations A, C, E
ti G have been changed to ’ CP ’ ( Cup Point ), TP ( Cone Point ), FP ( Flat Point ) and FDP/HDP
d Dog Point) respectively.
The standard is in conformity with the following international standards with the exception that
sizes below M3 have not been covered in the present revision:
IS0 4026-1977 Hexagon socket set screws with flat point,
IS0 4027-l 977 Hexagon socket set screws with cone point,
IS0 40261977 Hexagon socket set screws with dog point, and
IS0 4029-l 977 Hexagon socket set screws with cup point.
