‡Length of a cap screw is measured from the underhead bearing surface to the extreme end of the screw.

D = Nominal diameter of the screw in inches
*These properties are tested only on machined specimens when the testing machine cannot provide for full testing of the parts.
**Product standards require the manufacturer’s head marking to appear on the top of all cap screws 1/4” diameter and larger. “X” represents one location such a marking may appear.
