lf verifiable in-process inspection is used, inspection sample sizes and reporting shall be in accor,
dance with the applicableASME, ASTM, or SAE quality system consensus standard.

2.11.2 For nondesignated dimensional characteristics, the provisions of ASME 818.18.11\4 shall apply. lfa

erations.

2.12 Designation

Slotted head cap screws shall be designated by the followjng data, preferably in the sequence
shown: producl name; nominal size (fraction or decimal equivalent); threads per inch; screw length (fraction
or decimal equivalent); material; protective frnish, if required; or, optionally, ASME B1B.Z4.j plN code. See

3 GENERAL DATA FOR SQUARE HEAD SET SCREWS

3.1 Heads
:
3.'l.1 Head Height. The head height specified on the dimensional table is measured, parallel to the axis
of the screw, from the top of the head to the intersection of the side of the head with the undersurface.

3.1,2 Width Across Flats. The maximum width across flats shall not be exceeded. On milled-from-bar,
non-ferrous screws, however, the maximum limit may conform to commercial tolerances of the bar stock
material. N@ iransverse section through the head height shall be less than ihe specified mininium width
across flats.

3.1.3 Head True Position. The axis ofthe head shall be located attrue posiiion within a tolerance zone
having a diameter equal to 6% of the specified maximum width across flats of the head, relative to lhe axis
ofthe screw shank, regardless of feature size. The datum shall be determined overa length from the head
equal to the basic screw diameter.

3.2 Length

3.2.1 Measurement. The length of square head set screws shall be measured parallel to the axis of the
screw from the intersection of the side of the head with the undersurface to the extreme point.

3.2.2 Length Tolerance. The length tolerance for square head set screws shall be as tabulated in Table
7,
Table 7 Length Tolerances: Square Head Set Screws

3.6.2 Ihrough l{ardened Steel. Unless otherwise specifed, through haidened sleel square head sei
screws shall be alloy steel, quenched. and tempered to a hardness of 45-53 HRC (450-560 LV ot 428-532
HB), wiih a surface hardness at least equal to ihe core hardness, but not exceeding 88 HR15N.

3.6.3 Other Materials- Where so specified by the purchaser, square head sel screws may be made
from corrosion resistant steel or nonferrous metals. The materials and properiies shall be as agreed upon
between the manufaciurer and purchaser.

3.7 Finish

Unless otherwise specified, set screws shall be supplied vr'ith a natural (as processed) finish, un-
plated or uncoaied.

3.8 Workmanship

Square head set screws shall be free from burrs, seams, Iaps, loose scale, and any other defects
that could affect their serviceability.

3.9 Quality Assurance

Unless otherwise specified, acceptability of square head set screws shall be determined in accor-
dance with ASME B18.18.1M.

3.10 DimensionalConformance

Products sFall conform to the dimensions indicated in the respective tables. Unless otherwise
specilied, the following provisions shall apply for inspection of dimensional characteristics.

3.10-1 The following dimensional characteristics shall be inspected to the inspection levels shown accord-
ing toASME 818.18.21\l and shall be within their specified limits:

. DesignatedCharacteristic lnspection Level

consensus standard.

3.10.2 For nondesignated dimensional characteristics, the provisionsof ASME 818.18.1lM shall apply. lfa
nondesignated dimension is determined to be outside its specified limits, it shall be deemed conforming to
this Standard if the user who is the installer accepts the dimension, based on form, fit, and function consid-
erations.

3.11 Designation

Square head set screws shall be designaJed by the following data,' preferably in the sequence
shown: product name; nominal size (number, fraction, or decimal equivalent); threads per inch; screw
length (fraction or decimal equivalent); point style; material; protective flnish, if required; or optionally, ASM E
