IFI Supplement for B18.3 has been added in this book by IF! staff to provide re- cess information for socket products having Type VI recesses. 1 INTRODUCTORY NOTES 44 Scope 4.1.1 This Standard covers complete general and dimensional data for various types of hexagon and spline (fluted) socket cap screws, shoulder screws, set screws, and hexagon and spline keys recognized as an American National Standard, Also, included are appendices that provide specifications for hexagon and spline socket gages and gaging, tables showing applicability of keys and bits to various socket screws types and sizes, drill and counterbore sizes for socket head cap screws, and formulas on which dimen- ional data are based. However, where questions arise concerning acceptance of product, the dimensions {| in the tables shall govern over recalculation by formula, 1.4.2 The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not intended to imply that all of the products described are stock production sizes. Consumers should consult with manufacturers concerning lists of stock production sizes, 1.2 Socket Cap Screws The head types covered by this Standard are specified in paras. 1.2.1 through 1.2.5, 1.21 Socket Head Cap Screws. The socket head shall have a flat chamfered top surface with smooth cor knurled cylindrical sides and a flat bearing surface. Specifications are given in Tables 1A through 1F. Both hexagon and spline socket types are included. Dimensions for drilled holes and counterbores are included in Table A-1 of Nonmandatory Appendix A. 1.22 Drilled Hexagon Socket Head Cap Screws. Specifications for hexagon socket head cap screws having two, four, and six holes drilled in the head for lock wire application are given in Table 1F. 1.23 Socket Flat Countersunk Head Cap Screws. The flat countersunk head shall have a flat top sur- face and a conical bearing surface with included angle of approximately 82 deg. Specifications are given in Tables 2A, 2B, and 2C. Both hexagon and spline socket types are included, 1.2.4 Socket Button Head Cap Screws. The button head shall have a low rounded top surface with a large flat bearing surface.

When using set screws longer than 1.5 basic diameters in length, the pitch diameter of the set screw ‘may need to be reduced, or the tapped hole's pitch diameter may need to be increased to avoid interference during assembly, When standard socket set screws are plated, thread interference is likely to occur during assembly. For all thread diameters # 5 and smaller, thread acceptability wil be based on System 21, ASME B1.3M. For all thread diameters #6 and larger, thread acceptability willbe based on System 22, ASME B1.3M when the set screw thread length has a minimum of 7 pitch lengths. For all set screws equal or shorter than 7 pitch lengths, thread acceptability will be based on System 21, ASME B1.9M. The chart below shows the lengths equal to 7 pitch lengths. Threads/in.

For dimensions of gages for sockets and spline sockets, see Tables I-1 and /-2. 1:2 GAGING OF HEXAGON SOCKETS Hexagon sockets in screws shall allow the GO member of the gage to enter freely to the minimum key engagement depths specified in the dimensional tables for the respective screw types. For hexagon sockets that are not chamfered, the NOT GO gage member shall not enter any of the three across flat dimensions ofthe socket for nominal socket sizes of 1/8 in. and larger, and the hexagonal NOT GO gage member shall not enter the socket for nominal socket sizes smaller than 1/6 in. For chamfered hexagon sockeis, the NOT GO gage member shall be permitted to enter only to a depth equivalent to 10% of the nominal Socket size for nominal socket sizes up to and including 1/16 in., | and to 7.5% of the nominal socket sizes for larger sockets. 13 GAGING OF SPLINE SOCKETS Spline sockets in screws shall allow the GO member of the gage to enter freely to the minimum key ‘engagement depths specified in the dimensional tables for the respective screw types.

(see Tables 18-1 and 182) in parts having a hardness which approaches, equals, or exceeds the screw harchess. If such holes are nt countersunk, the heads cof screws may not seat propery or the sharp edges on holes may deform the fllsts on scrows thereby making them susceptible to fatigue in ‘pplication involving dynamic loading. The countersink or comer rele, however, should not be lager than fs necessary to insure thatthe filet on the sore is cleared, Normally, the diameter of countersink does not havo to exceed F max.) (see Tables 18-1 and 18-2). Coun- tersinks or comer relies in excess ofthis dlameter reduce the effective bearing area and introduce the possibilty of imbedment where the parts to be fastened aro softer than the screws or brinneling or faring ofthe heeds of the screws where the parts tobe fastened are harder than the scrows. ‘Close Fi, The ciose ft is normaly limited to holes for those lengths of screws that are threaded to the head (soe Table 10) in assomblios ‘where oniy one screw i to be use or Where two or moce screws are fo be Used and the mating holes are tobe produced ether at assembly ‘or by matched and coordinated toting Normal Fit, The normal fits intended fr secs of relatively long length or for assembles involving two or more screws were the mating holes are to be produced by conventional tolerancing methods.

NONMANDATORY APPENDIX D HEXAGON AND SPLINE SOCKET HEAD CAP SCREWS (1936 SERIES) Prior to 1961, the 1936 Series of socket head cap screws were recognized as standard. The 1936 Series screws are no longer stocked by screw manufacturers and are now available only on special order. The major differences between the 1936 Series screws and the present standard screws (1960 Series) are that, for some sizes, the 1936 Series had smaller head diameters and/or socket sizes and/or different thread lengths. Users desiring additional information on the 1936 Series should refer to Appendix IV of ASA, B18.3-1961, or should consult socket screw manufacturers.
