Note :

  • Where specifying nominal size in decimals, zeros preceding the decimals and in the fourth decimal place shall be omitted.
  • Screws of these length and shorter shall have undercut heads.
  • Tabulated values determined from formula for maximum H in Appendix A.
  • Tabulated values determined from formula for maximum O in Appendix A.
  • Point same on all drivers.
  • No tolerance for gaging diameter is given. If the gaging diameter of the gage used differs from tabulated value, the protrusion will be affected accordingly and the proper protusion values must be recalculated using the formulas.
  • No practical to gage.
