scope:

GENERAL: This standard may differ in some respects with certain segments of ISO and national standards. In recognition of these possible differences, the sizes and tolerance ranges used were established in an effort to enable the use of commercially available items, dimensionally interchangeable worldwide.

The specification contains the essentials of the following standards:

International Organization for Standardization: ISO 861, 885, 888, 965, and 4762

British Standards Institute: BS 4168

German Institute of Standardization: DIN 912

Standards Association of Australia: AS 1420 ASME/ANSI: B18.3.1M

The inclusion of dimensional data is not intended to imply that all the capscrews described are stock production sizes.

Inch dimensioned standard capscrews may be found in MPAPS S-C-28.101-GS/PL.
