FOREWORD
(This Foreword .is not part of ASME 818.3-1998.)

AmericanNationalStandardsCommitteeB18 for thestandardization of bolts,screws,

nuts,rivets,andsimilarfastenerswasorganizedinMarch1922asSectionalCommittee
B18 under the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American
StandardsAssociation, thentheUnitedStates of AmericaStandardsInstituteand,as of
October 6 , 1969, the American National Standards Institute) with the Society of Automotive
Engineers and theAmericanSocietyofMechanicalEngineersas joint sponsors.
Subcommittee No. 9' on Socket Head Cap and Set Screws was organized in April1929
and completed its first report in November 193 1. Seven successive drafts were issued during
whichthe content oftheproposalwas considerablyextendedandrefined,and inMarch
1933 copies were distributed to industryfor criticism and comment. The suggestions received
were carefullyreviewed,and inApril1935theproposal was presented tothemembersof
Sectional Committee B18 for letter ballot vote. Following the acceptance by the two sponsor
organizations,it was designatedanAmericanStandard(ASA €318.3) inFebruary1936 by
theAmericanStandardsAssociation.

For the purpose of keeping the work ofthe Subcommittee in line with the developments
in industry,theCommitteeprepared a supplement tothestandardintheform of a table

covering the dimensions of hexagonal and fluted socket head shoulder screws (stripper bolts)
||||

optional, whichreceivedapproval of theAmericanStandardsAssociation inApril1944

| ||||||||

andwas designated ASAB18.3a.

InMarch1945,the Subcommitteesubmittedcertainfundamentalchanges and additions
|||||

to the standard, and the Sectional Committee recommended issuance of a completely revised
|

standard. Following approvalof the Sectional Committee, the revised document was approved
||
||

bythe sponsororganizations and theAmericanStandardsAssociationanddesignated an

||| || ||---

American Standard inApril 1947.

In accordance withASA procedure, a review ofthestandardwasundertaken in 1950
andcertainadditionalchangeswererecommended bythe Subcommittee.Capscrewsizes
No. O and 1andsetscrewsizesNo. O, 1, 2,3, and 4 wereaddedtosatisfyincreasing
demand from various industries. Material, hardness, and thread fit were included toprovide
a more completestandard. A draft datedNovember1951wasdistributedtoindustryfor
criticism and comment. A further revision, dated November 1953, was presented to Sectional
Committee B18 for letter ballotvote.Followingapproval of the SectionalCommitteeand
sponsors, the proposal was submitted to the American Standards Association. It was approved
and designated an AmericanStandardonAugust 26, 1954.
Shortlyafterthe1954standardwasissued, workwasinitiatedonthe development of
standardscovering flat countersunkhead cap screws, buttonhead cap screws, and cap
screws up to 4 in.indiameter. As these proposalsevolvedwithcommentsreceivedfrom
various industries, it becameevidentthat a majorrevisionwasrequired,particularly in

Continued surveillance of the 1961 standard bythe Subcommittee indicated by 1966 that
a complete revision of the document wasnecessary to providerecognition of technical
improvements in materialsandmanufacturingmethods. Workoverthenexttwo years

screws; addition ofwidth across comer dimensions for hexagonkeysandbits;and the
inclusion of appendicescoveringdrillandcounterboresizesforsocket head cap screws
(1960 Series), andgagesandgaging for spline sockets. Following acceptance of this draft
by theSubcommittee, it wasapprovedby letter ballot ofUSA StandardsCommittee B18
and the sponsororganizations,andsubmittedtotheUnitedStates of AmericaStandards
Institute. Itwasapprovedanddesignated a USA Standard on September 19,1969.
A periodicreview of the standard, undertakenby Subcommittee 3 in 1973, resulted in
agreement that thedocument be revised to reflectclarification oftheunderheadfilleton

with numerous editorial corrections was prepared and, subsequent to Subcommittee acceptance,
approved by letter ballot to American National Standards Committee B 18. Following approval
by the sponsor organizations, the proposal was submitted to the American National Standards

Notes

(For additional requirements refer to notes on pages 5 through 7 and General Data on page 2.)

NOTES:
(I) Nominal Size. Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
(2) Body. The term body refers to the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank for those screws not threaded to the head.
(3) Head Diameter. Heads may be plain or knurled at the option of the manufacturer, unless specified otherwise by the customer. For knurled screws, the maximum
head diameter shall be measured across the tops of the knurl, and the minimum head diameter shall be the diameter of the unknurled portion or the diameter
across the tops of the knurl for those screws not having an unknurled portion, just above the radius or chamfer at the bottom edge of the head.
(4) Head Chamfer. The top of the head shall be flat. The intersection of the top of the head and the side of the head may be chamfered or radiused within the limits
of C, at the manufacturer’s option.
(5) Bearing Surface. The place of the bearing surface shall be perpendicular to the axis of the screw within a maximum deviation of 1 deg.
(6) Edge of Head. The edge between the bearing surface and the side of the head may be broken (rounded or chamfered), but the radius or chamfer measured along
the bearing surface shall not exceed the values listed for K.

NOTES TO TABLE 1A (CONT’D)
(7) Concentricity
(al the head shall be concentric with the shank within 1% of the basic screw diameter, D maximum (2% total runout) or 0.006 in. total runout, whichever is greater,
when held within one diameter of the head but beyond the fillet.
(b) the socket shall be concentric with the shank within 172% of the basic screw diameter, 0 maximum (3% total runout) or 0.005 in. total runout, whichever is
greater, for sizes through 5; in., and 3% (6% total runout) for sizes above ‘I$ in.
(c) the conformance of screws to shank straightness or camber limitations set forth as 0, in Table IE may be checked by the use of the typical gage illustrated in
Appendix III.
(8) Fillet. For all lengths of screws the form of the underhead fillet shall be optional, as depicted in the illustration above Table 16, provided it is a smooth and
continuous concave curve fairing into the bearing surface of the head, and the screw shank is within the envelope established by the limits for fillet extension,
length, and juncture radius specified in Table 1B.
(9) Length. The length of the screw shall be measured parallel to the axis of the screw from the plane of the bearing surface under the head to the plane of the flat
of the point. The portion of the screw contained within dimensions L is commonly called the shank. The basic length dimension on the product shall be the nominal
length expressed as a two-placed decimal.
(IO) Standard Lengths. Standard length increments for socket head cap screws shall be as tabulated below.

(13) Thread Length Lr. The length of thread shall be measured, parallel to the axis of the screw, from the extreme point to the last complete (full-form) thread. The
|

thread length on socket head cap screws shall be as defined by Table 1C and notes thereto.
(14) Grip Gaging Length length is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, from the bearing surface of the head to the first complete

LG. Grip gaging

(full-form) thread under the head (see Table IC).
(15) Body Length LB. Body length is the length, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, of the unthreaded portion of the shank (see Table IC).
| ||||||||

(16) Screw Point Chamfer. The point shall be flat or slightly concave and chamfered. The plane of the point shall be approximately normal to the axis of the screw.
||||

The chamfer shall extend slightly below the root of the thread, and the edge between the flat and chamfer may be slightly rounded. The included angle of the
point should be approximately 90 deg. Chamfering of the screw sizes up to and including size 8 (0.164 in.) and lengths below 0.75d shall be optional.
|||||

(17) Material
--

(a) .S;;l;;lloy. Cap screws shall be fabricated from an alloy steel and shall conform in all respects to ASTM A 574, Specification for Alloy Steel Socket Head Cap

(b) Steel, corrosion-resistant. Cap screws shall be fabricated from a corrosion-ressitant steel and shall conform in all respects to ASTM F 837, Specification for
Stainless Steel Socket Head Cap Screws (Inch).
(18) Surface Roughness. For alloy steel screws of sizes up to and incuding “/B in., and nominal lengths equal to or less than 8 times the basic screw diameter, the
surface roughness of the screws before plating shall not exceed 63 pin. (arithmetical average) on the fillet and head bearing surfaces, nor exceed 32 kin. (arithmetical
average) on the threads.
For larger sizes, longer lengths, and corrosion-resistant steel screws, the surface roughness of the screws prior to plating shall not exceed 125 pit-r. (arithmetical
QI average) on the body [see Note (2)1, fillet [see Note (8)], and head bearing surfaces.
Normally, it shall be sufficient to ascertain that these surfaces on screws have the equivalent of a smooth machined finish by visual comparison with known
surface standards. However, where it is practical and deemed necessary to measure these surfaces with commercially available equipment, roughness measurements
shall be taken axially on the body and fillet surfaces, and circumferentially on the bearing surface. (See ASME 846.1, Surface Texture.)
(19) Drawings. On socket screw drawings, when the distance from the bearing surface of the head to the threading is dimensioned, regardless of type of thread
representation (see ASME Y14.6, Engineering Drawing and Related Documentation Practices, Screw Thread Representation, for description of schematic and
simplified thread representation), the dimension should be noted to indicate whether body length or grip length is required.
(20) See Table 7 for spline socket dimensions and Appendix I for gaging of spline sockets.
(21) See Table 6 for hexagon socket dimensions and Appendix I for gaging of hexagon sockets.
(22) Dimensional Conformance. Socket Head Cap Screws shall have the following designated characteristics inspected to ASME B18.18.2M to the inspection levels
shown:
Characteristic Inspection Level
Threads C
Head Diameter C
Socket Size (gaged) C
Length C

(23) Designation. Hexagon and Spline Socket Head Cap Screws shall be designated by the following data in the sequence shown: nominal size (number, fractional or
decimal equivalent); threads per inch; length (fractional or decimal equivalent); product name; material; and protective coating, if required. See examples below:

(1) The tabulated LG values are maximum and represent the minimum design grip length of the screw. They shall be measured from the bearing surface of
||||

the head to the face of a GO thread ring gage, having the thread countersink and/or counterbore removed, which has been assembled by hand as far as
the thread will permit. The tabulated LB values are minimum and represent the minimum body length of the screw. They are equal to Lo minus 5 times
|||||

the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective screw size.
--

(2) Screws having nominal lengths falling between those for which LG and Ls values are tabulated in this Table shall have LG and LB dimensions conforming
with those of the next shorter tabulated nominal length for the respective screw size. For example: for a sh in. size screw, 1.88 in. long, LG = 0.50 in. and
LB = 0.25 in.
(3) For screws of nominal lengths above the heavy bold line in this Table, the complete (full-form) threads, measured with a thread ring gage having the
thread chamfer and/or counterbore removed, shall extend to within two pitches (threads) of the head for sizes 0 (0.060 in.) through “/B in., inclusive; and
shall extend as close to the head as is practicable for sizes larger than “/B in.
Screws over 1 in. in diameter and of lengths shorter than the minimum thread length LT plus 5 times the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective
screw size shall have complete (full-form) threads extending as close to the head as practicable. See Note (4) for Lr values.
(4) For screws of nominal lengths longer than those for which LG and Lavalues are tabulated in this Table and for screws over 1 in. in diameter, the maximum
grip gaging length Lo and the minimum body length LB of the screws shall be determined as shown in Table ID:

LG = L - LT
LB = L - Lrr

where
L = nominal length
Lr = minimum thread length
Lm = maximum total thread length

NOTES TO TABLE 1F
NOTES:
(1) Nominal Size. Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall
be omitted.
(2) Screws. Drilled hexagon socket head cap screws shall conform to the respective dimensions and requirements set forth
in Table 1A and the notesthereto, except for the holes in the head as specified in this Table and the followingnotes.
(3) Number of Holes. Screws shall have 2,4, or 6 holes drilled in the head as designated by the purchaser. For sizes 6 (0.138
in.) and smaller, the use of only 2 holes is recommended.
(4) Holes. Hole size and location from the top of the head shall conform to the specifications given in this Table. For sizes 8
(0.164 in.) and larger, the drilled hole shall lie within the flats of the hexagon socket and not break through the socket
corners. Positioning of holes on opposite sides of the socket shall be such that the hole alignment check plug will pass
completely through the head on all screw sizes.
For commercial quality screws, the edge of the holes on the outside of the head may be chamfered or broken. The edge
of the holes within thesocket may contain burrs to theextent that thesocket will accept a keyhaving the standard minimum
width across the flats (see Table 8 ) and the holes must allow the Type I drill check plug to pass from the outside of the
head into the socket.
For aircraft quality screws, the edge of the holes on the outside of the head shall be chamfered and there shall be no
burr chipsor sliversthat mightbecome dislodged during usage. The socket shall accept a key having thestandard maximum
width across the flats (see Table8)and the hole must allow the Type II drill check plug topass from theoutside ofthe head
into the socket.
Chamfer on theedge of theholes, whether provided optionallyor as requried, shall be subject to visual inspection only.
( 5 ) Designation. Drilled Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws shall be designated by the following data in the sequence shown:
nominal size (number, fractionalor decimal equivalent); threads per inch; length (fractional or decimalequivalent); product
name, including number of holes; material; and protective coating, if required. See examples below:
6 - 32 x 0.75 Drilled (2 Holes) Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screw,Alloy Steel

NOTES:
(1) Nominal Size. Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
(2) Body. The term body refers to the unthreaded cylindrical portion of the shank for those screws not threaded to the head.
13) Head Diameter. Maximum sharp values under column A are theoretical values only, as it is not practical to make the edges of the head sharp. The maximum
sharp value represents the exact diameter of the hole countersunk to exactly 82 deg, in which a screw having maximum head size will fit flush.
(4) Head Height. Tabulated values for head height are given for reference only and are calculated to the maximum formulation.
(5) Protrusion. Suitability of socket flat countersunk head cap screws for application in countersinks designed to the principal dimensions of the screws shall be
determined by use of a protrusion gage. The protrusion limits shown shall apply only when the gaging diameter is exactly as indicated with the gaging edge of a
sharpness obtained by lapping the hole and the top surface of the gage. The top of the head shall be flat within the limits of the protrusion tolerance. See Appendix
II for gaging details.
(6) Length. The length of the screw shall be measured, parallel to the axis of the screw, from the plane of the top of the head to the plane of the flat of the point.
The basic length dimension on the product shall be the nominal length expressed as a two-placed decimal.

(9) Thread Length LT. The length of the thread shall be measured, parallel to the axis of the screw, from the extreme point to the last complete (full-form) thread.
N
Thread length, on socket flat countersunk head cap screws, shall be as defined by Table 2B and notes thereto.
(10) Grip Gaging Length Lo”. Grip gaging length is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, from the top of the head to the first complete (full-form) I
thread under the head (see Table 20.
(11) Body Length LBH. Body length is the length, measured parallel to the axis of the screw, of the unthreaded portion of the shank and the head hight (see Table 2C).
(12) Screw Point Chamfer. The point shall be flat or slightly concave and chamfered. The plane of the point shall be approximately normal to the axis of the screw.
The chamfer shell extend slightly below the root of the thread, and the edge between the flat and chamfer may be slightly rounded. The included angle of the
point should be approximately 90 deg. Chamfering of the screw sizes up to and including size 8 (0.164 in.) and lengths below 1.5d shall be optional.
(13) Fillet. A fillet between the conical bearing surface of the head and the shank (body) of the screw is allowable to the maximum F value (Table 2A). z
(14) Bearing Surface. The axis of the conical bearing surface shall be parallel to the axis of the body within ‘/z deg.
2
(15) Concentricity. Runout of the thread with the body shall be within 0.005 in./in. of body length (unthreaded portion) full (total) indicator reading, taken directly under crr
the head when the screw is held by the full threads closest to the head of the screw and shall not exceed 0.025 in. G

NOTES:
(1) Tabulated LeH values are maximum and represent the minimum design grip length, including the reference head height, of the screw. They shall be
measured from the top of the head to the face of a GO thread ring gage, having the thread countersink and/or counterbore removed, which has been
||| || ||---

assembled by hand as far as the thread will permit. The tabulated LaHvalues are minimum and represent the minimum body length, including the reference
||

head height of the screw. They are equal to LeH minus 5 times the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective screw size.
||

(2) Screws having nominal lengths falling between those for which LG~ and L aHvalues are tabulated in this Table shall have Lee and La” dimensions conforming
|

with those of the next shorter tabulated nominal length for the respective screw size. For example: for a ‘/4 in. size screw, 2.13 in. long, LeH = 0.75 in. and
|||||

LB~ = 0.50 in.

(3) For screws of nominal lengths above the heavy bold line in this Table, the complete (full-form) threads, measured with a thread ring gage having the
thread chamfer and/or counterbore removed, shall extend to within two pitches (threads) of the intersection of the conical portion of the head with the
| ||||||||

basic screw diameter.

||||

Screws over 1 in. in diameter and of lengths shorter than the minimum thread length LT plus 5 times the pitch of the UNRC thread for the respective
screw size shall have complete (full-form) threads extending as close to the head as practicable. See Note (4) for LT values.
|||||

(41 For screws of nominal lengths longer than those for which L GH and LaHvalues are tabulated in this Table and for screws over 1 in. in diameter, the maximum
--

grip gaging length Le” and the minimum body length L~H of the screws shall be determined as shown in Table 2C:

LG” = L - Lr
L*j./= L-Lm

where
L = nominal length
Lr = minimum thread length
Lrr = maximum total thread length

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) CAUTION: The use of short length set screws listed i n this Table can result i n failure of the socket, key, or mating threads
during tighteningbecause key engagementand thread length are lessthan optimum.Therefore, it is strongly recommended
that screws of lengths equal to or greater than the lengths specified in columns B and 6,of Table 5A be used wherever
possible.
(h) See Table 5A. and the illustrations andnotes thereto, for additional dimensions and specifications.

NOTES:
(1)Cup angle may be 118 deg or 130 deg, +5 deg, depending upon screw length and manufacturing process.
(2)Cone point angle for these lengths shall be 90 deg; see column Y in Table 5A.
(3)These sizes are impractical t o manufacture because of point configuration and short length.
(4) These screws are covered in Table 5A.

(1) Each end shall be square with the axis of each arm with 4 deg and edges may be sharp or chamfered at the option of the manufacturer. The chamfer shall not
exceed the values listed.
--

(2) Any truncation or rounding of hexagon corners within the specified across-corner dimensions shall be evident on all corners.
(3) Material (Steel Alloy). Hexagon keys and bits shall be fabricated from an alloy steel having two or more of the following alloying elements: chromium, nickel,
molybdenum, or vanadium, in sufficient quantity to assure that the specified minimum hardness of 48 HRC at the surface for sizes up to and including “/s in., and
45 HRC for sizes over “/B in., is met when hexagon keys and bits are hardened by quenching from the austenitizing temperature and tempered.
(41 For nominal socket sizes above 1 in., it is recommended that bits be used in conjunction with standard hexagon wrenches or power drives. When the application
makes the use of keys necessary, the keys should conform to the dimensions listed. Bits 1 in. and smaller are available, but the lengths have not been standardized.
(5) For plated hexagon keys and bits, all dimensions are before plating.
(6) For applicability of keys and bits to various socket screw types and sizes, see Appendix 8.
(7) Designation. Hexagon Keys or Bits shall be designated by the following data in the sequence shown: nominal key (or bit) size (fractional or decimal equivalent);
product name; series; and protective coating, if required. See examples below:

NOTES TO TABLE A l
NOTES:
(1) Close Fit. The close fit is normally limited to holes for those lengths of screws that are threaded to the head (see Table
I C ) in assemblies where only one screw is to be used or where two or more screws are to be used and the mating holes
are to be produced either at assembly or by matched and coordinated tooling.
(2) Normal Fit. The normal fitis intended for screws of relatively long lengthor for assemblies involving two or more screws
where the mating holes are to be produced by conventional tolerancingmethods. It provides for the maximum allowable
eccentricity of thelongest standard screws andfor certain variations in the parts to be fastened, such as: deviations in hole
straightness, angularity between the axis of the tapped hole and ofthat the hole for the shank, differences in center distances
of the mating holes, etc.
(3) Countersink. It is considered good practice to countersink or break the edges of holes that are smaller than F(max.) (see
Table 1B) in parts having a hardness which approaches, equals, or exceeds the screw hardness. If such holes are not
countersunk, the heads of screws may not seat properly or the sharp edges on holes may deform the fillets on screws
thereby making them susceptible to fatigue in applications involving dynamic loading. The countersink or corner relief,
however, should not be larger than is necessary to insure that the fillet on the screw is cleared. Normally, the diameter of
countersink does not have to exceed F(max.) (see Table IB). Countersinks or corner reliefs inexcess of this diameterreduce
the effective bearing area and introduce the possibility of imbedment where the parts to be fastened are softer than the
screws or brinnelling or flaring of theheads of the screws where the parts to be fastened are harder than thescrews.

APPENDIX D
HEXAGON AND SPLINE SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREWS (1936 SERIES)
(This Appendix is not part of ASME 618.3-1998 and is included for informational purposes only.)

Prior to1961,the 1936 Series of socketheadcap

screws were recognizedasstandard.The1936Series
screws are no longerstocked by screwmanufacturers
and are now available only on special order. The major
differences betweenthe1936Seriesscrewsandthe
present standard screws (1960 Series) are that,for some
sizes, the 1936 Series had smaller head diameters and/
or socket sizes andlordifferentthreadlengths.Users
desiring additionalinformation on
the 1936 Series
shouldrefer to Appendix IV ofASAB18.3-1961, or
shouldconsultsocket screw manufacturers.
