ASME B18.2.1 (T8):2012 Hex Flange Screw

ASME B18.2.1 (T8):2012 Hex Flange Screw is suitable for direct fastening into tapped holes or threaded components. The flanged head provides a larger bearing area, helping protect the mating surface and improve clamp-load distribution.

Compared with a standard hex screw, this product can reduce the need for washers, making it useful where space is limited, assembly steps must be simplified, or a clean external appearance is desired. It can be used for equipment covers, brackets, light structures, and industrial components.

Selection should consider thread size, engagement depth, material compatibility, and finish. For thin plates or softer base materials, the balance between flange bearing area and tightening force should be managed to prevent local surface damage.

  • A screw is a fastening tool that utilizes the principle of an inclined spiral plane to join or secure objects together. Its core structure consists of a cylindrical body with continuous threads (like spiral ridges), typically featuring a head at one end for convenient rotation.

  • Now that we've covered bolts, their "perfect partner" — the nut — is much easier to understand. Simply put, a nut is a small metal block or disc with a round hole in the center and internal threads on the wall of that hole. Its core function is to work with an externally threaded bolt to clamp two or more components to...

  • Simply put, a washer is a thin, disc-shaped ring with a central hole, typically made of metal (such as carbon steel, stainless steel, or copper) or non-metallic materials (such as rubber, plastic, or asbestos). It is placed between the head of a bolt/nut and the surface of the workpiece, or at the junction between the ...

  • Simply put, a bolt is a cylindrical fastener with external threads. It works with a matching nut or is screwed directly into a threaded hole of the mating part to firmly hold two or more components together. To put it intuitively, think of it as a "metal nail." However, unlike a nail that is driven in with a hammer, a ...
