Sales Systems Ltd. - Hex Washer Head Tapping Screws

Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding decimal and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
Applicable to screw types as indicated by code symbols.
Type AB thread forming.
Types B and BP thread forming and Types BF and BT thread cutting.
Type C thread forming, Appendix; and Types D, F, G, and T thread cutting.
A slight rounding of all edges and corners of the hex surfaces of heads shall be permissible.
Fillet radius R at junction of sides of hex and top of washer shall not exceed 0.15 times the basic screw diameter.
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 2º or 0.004 in., whichever is greater, the specified width across flats being the large dimension.
The rounding due to lack of fill on all six corners of the head shall be reasonably uniform and the width across corners of the head shall be such that when a sharp ring having an inside diameter equal to the specified minimum width across corners is placed on the top of the head, the hex portion of the head shall protrude by an amount equal to, or greater than, the F value tabulated.
