for assistance in selecting the appropriate standard cap screw for a particular application.
2. Applicable Documents
Applicable documents listed below may be obtained from the respective organizations listed in
CES 10054, Standards Organizations Addresses.
3. Definition
There are no unique definitions in this standard. Terms used in this standard that have a general
definition for usage in Cummins Engineering Standards are defined in CES 10056, Glossary.
4. Specifications
This standard includes all dimensional, property class, and coating specifications for metric
Hexagon Flange Cap Screws which are in accordance with appropriate National, Industry/Society,
and International Standards.
National and International Standards may have slightly different dimensional callouts on certain
features that do not affect the functionality of the Product. For example ASME B18.2.3.4M and
ISO 4162 have slightly different dimensional callouts but are functionally identical
4.1. Identification
All cap screws shall be permanently marked with the manufacturer’s identification and the
property class symbol on top of the cap screw. These markings shall be in accordance with
ISO 898-1.
4.2. Head
The top of the head shall be either full form or indented--at the manufacturer’s option--and shall
also be either chamfered or rounded. The diameter of the chamfer circle or the start of the rounding
shall be equal to the maximum width across flats within a tolerance of -15%.
The height of the head is the distance from the top of the head to the bearing surface, as measured
parallel to the axis of the cap screw. This height is specified in Table A1: Dimensions of Hexagon
Flange Head Cap Screws on page 12 and shown in Figure A1: Hexagon Flange Head Cap Screw
on page 11.
SIID: qCrz_gBn3ASewYXSVYQEIQkI1W3-OjKkkKJtB6C77O1aDUpA0er_Ihun35ydNDcKfeIesXWIInQ67WQ66kNNzA==
The hexagon height is the distance from the junction of the hex head with the flange to the top of
the head, measured at a corner of the hex.
The wrenching height is the distance at a corner of the hexagon, from the junction of the hexagon
head with the flange to the last plane of full formed hex.
The rounding at the six corners due to lack of fill shall be reasonably uniform.
The axis of the head shall be located at true position with respect to the axis of the screw as
specified in Table A2: Tolerance Zone on page 13.
4.2.7. Flange
The top surface of the flange shall be conical or slightly rounded (convex) and the periphery shall
be round within the specified maximum flange diameter and a tolerance of minus 5 percent. The
contour of edge at flange periphery shall be optional, provided the minimum flange thickness is
maintained at the minimum bearing circle diameter.
The bearing surface shall be flat to concave to a maximum of 1.5 degrees from the plane formed
by the bearing circle diameter. The plane of the bearing surface shall be perpendicular to the axis
of the body within 1 degree and is expressed in terms of circular runout as specified in Table A1:
Dimensions of Hexagon Flange Head Cap Screws on page 12 and shown in Figure A1: Hexagon
Flange Head Cap Screw on page 11.
4.4. Fillet
The fillet at the junction of the head and shank shall conform to either Style A as shown in Figure
A2: Style A Fillet Detail For Short Screws on page 13 and Figure A3: Style A Fillet Detail For
Long Screws on page 14 with limits as specified in Table A3: Dimension of Style A Underhead
Fillets on page 14 or Style B as shown in Figure A4: Style B Fillet Detail on page 15 with limits
SIID: qCrz_gBn3ASewYXSVYQEIQkI1W3-OjKkkKJtB6C77O1aDUpA0er_Ihun35ydNDcKfeIesXWIInQ67WQ66kNNzA==
as specified in Table A4: Dimension of Style B Underhead Fillets on page 15. Fillet style is at the
option of the manufacturer unless specified by Cummins. The fillet shall be a smooth and
continuous curve fairing smoothly into the underhead bearing surface and the shank within the
specified limits. No radius in the fillet contour shall be less than R min. for Style A as specified in
Table A3: Dimension of Style A Underhead Fillets on page 14.
4.5.1. The body diameter of cap screws which are not threaded full length shall be within the
limits specified in Table A1: Dimensions of Hexagon Flange Head Cap Screws on page 12 and
displayed in Figure A1: Hexagon Flange Head Cap Screw on page 11. The diameter of the
unthreaded shank under the head shall neither exceed the specified maximum body diameter nor
be less than the minimum body diameter given in Table A2: Tolerance Zone on page 13 for
fully threaded.
4.5.2. Screws may be obtained with reduced body diameters if specified by Cummins.
However, cap screws with nominal lengths shorter than four times their nominal size shall not have
reduced body diameters. Reduced body diameter cap screws shall have a shoulder under the head
as shown in Figure A5: Reduced Body Diameter on page 16. The bodies and shoulders of reduced
body diameter cap screws are specified in Table A5: Dimensions of Reduced Body Diameter on
page 16.
4.6. Length
The length of the cap screw shall be measured parallel to the axis of the cap screw from the plane
formed by the underhead bearing circle diameter to the extreme end of the shank. Tolerances for
length are shown in Table A6: Length Tolerances on page 17.
The standard lengths of cap screws showing the preferred and non-preferred lengths of these cap
screws are tabulated in Table B1: Preferred Sizes, Property Class 9.8 on page 21 through Table B3:
Preferred Sizes, Property Class 12.9 on page 29.
4.7. Points
The end of the cap screw shall be chamfered from a diameter equal to or slightly less than the thread
root diameter to produce a length of chamfer or incomplete thread within the limits specified in
Table A7: Dimensions of Points on page 17. The end of the cap screw may have a rounded point
as specified in Table A7: Dimensions of Points on page 17 at the manufacturer’s option.
4.8. Straightness
SIID: qCrz_gBn3ASewYXSVYQEIQkI1W3-OjKkkKJtB6C77O1aDUpA0er_Ihun35ydNDcKfeIesXWIInQ67WQ66kNNzA==
The shank of the cap screw shall be straight within a maximum of 0.006 mm/mm of cap
screw length.
4.9. Threads
Metric screw threads shall conform to ASME B1.13M or the combination of ISO 724 and ISO 965.
These screw threads are classified into the nominal pitch tolerance class -- 6g for M Series
Thread Form.
The following sections describe the various dimensional requirements needed to define the length
of the threaded portion of the cap screw.
The basic thread length (B) is a reference dimension and is the distance from the point of the cap
screw to the last complete (full form) thread, measured parallel to the axis of the cap screw. This
dimension is specified in Table A8: Thread Lengths on page 18.
Thread grip gaging length (Lg max.) is the distance measured parallel to the axis of the cap screw,
from the plane formed by the bearing circle diameter to the face of a noncounterbored or
noncountersunk standard GO thread ring gage which has been assembled by hand as far as the
thread will permit. The values for Lg max. for standard diameter-length combinations of screws
are specified in Table A9: Maximum Grip Gaging Lengths and Minimum Body Lengths on page
19. For diameter-length combinations not listed in Table A9: Maximum Grip Gaging Lengths and
Minimum Body Lengths on page 19, the Lg max. shall be equal to the nominal cap screw length L
minus the basic thread length B as specified in Table A8: Thread Lengths on page 18
(Lg max. = L-B).
The maximum transition thread length (X max.) is the length of incomplete threads plus the
tolerances on grip gaging length and body length. This is a reference dimension and is intended for
calculation purposes only. The transition thread lengths are specified in Table A8: Thread Lengths
on page 18.
SIID: qCrz_gBn3ASewYXSVYQEIQkI1W3-OjKkkKJtB6C77O1aDUpA0er_Ihun35ydNDcKfeIesXWIInQ67WQ66kNNzA==
The thread body length (Ls min.) is the distance, measured parallel to the axis of the cap screw,
from the plane formed by the bearing circle diameter to the last thread or top of the extrusion angle,
whichever is closest to the head. The values of Ls min. are specified in Table A9: Maximum Grip
Gaging Lengths and Minimum Body Lengths on page 19 for standard diameter-length
combinations of screws. The minimum body length shall be equal to the maximum grip gaging
length minus the maximum transition length (Ls min. = Lg max.-X max.) for diameter-length
combinations not listed in Table A9: Maximum Grip Gaging Lengths and Minimum Body Lengths
on page 19. cap screws of nominal lengths which have a calculated thread body length equal to or
less than the unthreaded length underhead (Lu) as specified in Table A8: Thread Lengths on page
18 shall be threaded full length. For these cap screws, the distance from the plane formed by the
bearing circle diameter to the face of a noncounterbored or noncountersunk standard GO thread
ring assembled by hand as far as the thread will permit shall not exceed Lu as specified in Table
A8: Thread Lengths on page 18.
The thread runout with respect to the axis of the cap screw shall be within the limits specified in
Table A2: Tolerance Zone on page 13. This measurement is taken at a distance of one screw
diameter from the last complete thread.
The material and mechanical properties for the cap screws shall be in accordance with ISO 898-1.
Table A10: Material and Mechanical Properties for Externally Threaded Fasteners on page 20 is a
listing of the various property classes and mechanical properties for each of the property classes.
4.12. Finishes
All cap screws shall be furnished with one of the following finishes per the reference tables:
• Plain (4.12.1.)
• Zinc Phosphate (4.12.2.)
• Zinc Electroplating (4.12.3.)
SIID: qCrz_gBn3ASewYXSVYQEIQkI1W3-OjKkkKJtB6C77O1aDUpA0er_Ihun35ydNDcKfeIesXWIInQ67WQ66kNNzA==
• Zinc Flake/Zinc-Aluminum Flake (4.12.3.)
All cap screws provided in the plain steel condition shall be clean (free of dirt, rust, or processing
compounds) and, unless otherwise specified, coated with a light oil film. Plain finish should not be
used for new designs or newly released screws.
a. Zinc phosphated fasteners shall comply with ASTM F1137M Grade D or ISO 9717 -
Fe/Znph/r/8/T4. Fasteners shall complete 48 hour salt spray test per ASTM B117 with no
red rust.
b. Existing production screws are not required to meet ASTM F1137M or ISO 9717 until
resourcing occurs. Newly sourced zinc phosphate screws or resourced existing screws must
meet one of the listed standards.
Zinc electroplated fasteners shall comply with Cummins Engineering Standard (CES) 74018 or
ASTM F1941 Fe/Zn 8 ANS. Zinc electroplate shall not be used on class 12.9 fasteners.
Optional: Coefficient of total friction may be measured per ISO 16047 in place of K-Factor.
Coefficient of total friction shall be 0.08 - 0.14. Use of surrogate parts for K-factor or friction
measurement is permissible. Surrogate part shall be an M10 Class 10.9 fastener meeting this
standard of a suitable length for the test fixtures.
4.13. Workmanship
