Fastener Training Hex Head Cap Screw Hex Nuts Flat Washers Presented by Kevin Connolly Applications Engineer [email protected] Fastener Terms and Abbreviations Below are three ways of describing the same fastener: 1. 1/4 – 20 UNC Class 2A x 1 Hex Head Cap Screw per ASME B18.2.1, Grade 5 per SAE J429, Zinc/Clear plated per ASTM B633 2. 1/4 - 20 x 1 Hex Cap Screw, Gr 5, Zn 3. 1/4 x 1 Hex Bolt, NC, 5, Z Metric Fasteners: M10 x 50 Hex Bolt, Property Class 8.8, Y What it means: They want a 10mm diameter hex head cap screw with a coarse thread (1.5mm) that is made from a property class 8.8 steel and is plated zinc with yellow chromate. The last three pages of this slide show contains a list of common abbreviations used when customers describe fasteners.
