Fasteners - Button head screws with reduced loadability - Part 1: Hexagon socket button head screws (ISO 7380-1:2022)

This document specifies the characteristics of hexagon socket button head screws with reduced loadability due to head design, in steel and stainless steel, with metric coarse pitch threads M3 to M16, and with product grade A.
If, in certain cases, other specifications are requested, stainless steel grades can be selected from ISO 3506-1, and the dimensional options from ISO 888 or ISO 4753.
NOTE      The reduced loadability (related to the head dimensions in combination with penetration of the hexagon socket specified in this document) implies a limitation of ultimate tensile load shown by a specific marking (property class preceded by a zero). The loadability in the head is assumed to be 80 % of that in the thread for all sizes and all property classes, see Table 4.

Mechanische Verbindungselemente - Schrauben mit abgeflachtem Halbrundkopf mit reduzierter Belastbarkeit - Teil 1: Schrauben mit abgeflachtem Halbrundkopf mit Innensechskant (ISO 7380-1:2022)

Dieses Dokument legt die Eigenschaften von Schrauben mit abgeflachtem Halbrundkopf mit Innensechskant mit aufgrund der Auslegung des Kopfes reduzierter Belastbarkeit mit metrischen Regelgewinden M3 bis M16 in Produktklasse A fest.
ANMERKUNG Die reduzierte Belastbarkeit (bezogen auf die Kopfgeometrie in Kombination mit der in diesem Dokument festgelegten Eindringtiefe des Innensechskantes) bringt eine Begrenzung der Mindestbruchkraft mit sich. Es wird angenommen, dass die Belastbarkeit im Kopf 80 % der Belastbarkeit im Gewinde für alle Größen und alle Festigkeitsklassen beträgt, siehe Tabelle 3.
Falls in bestimmten Fällen andere Festlegungen benötigt werden, können Stahlsorten für nichtrostende Stähle aus ISO 3506-1 und Maßangaben aus ISO 888 oder ISO 4753 entnommen werden.

Fixations - Vis à tête cylindrique bombée plate à capacité de charge réduite - Partie 1: Tête cylindrique bombée plate à six pans creux (ISO 7380-1:2022)

Le présent document spécifie les caractéristiques des vis à tête cylindrique bombée plate à six pans creux, à capacité de charge réduite du fait de la conception de la tête, en acier et en acier inoxydable, à filetage métrique à pas gros M3 à M16, et de grade A.
Si dans certains cas d’autres spécifications sont requises, les grades d’acier inoxydable peuvent être choisis dans l'ISO 3506‑1, et les options dimensionnelles dans l'ISO 888 ou l'ISO 4753.
NOTE         La capacité de charge réduite (du fait des dimensions de la tête et de la profondeur de pénétration du six pans creux spécifiées dans le présent document) implique une limitation de la charge de rupture à la traction, indiquée par un marquage spécifique (classe de qualité précédée d’un zéro). La capacité de charge dans la tête est considérée comme égale à 80 % de la résistance du filetage pour toutes les dimensions et pour toutes les classes de qualité, voir Tableau 4.

Vezni elementi - Vijaki s sploščeno polkrožno glavo z manjšo obremenljivostjo - 1. del: Sploščena polkrožna glava z notranjim šestkotnikom (ISO 7380-1:2022)

Ta dokument določa značilnosti vijakov s sploščeno polkrožno glavo z notranjim šestkotnikom z manjšo obremenljivostjo zaradi zasnove glave, v jeklu in nerjavnem jeklu, z grobim metričnim navojem velikosti od M3 do M16, in razredom izdelave A.
Če se v določenih primerih zahtevajo druge specifikacije, je razrede lastnosti nerjavnega jekla mogoče izbrati po standardu ISO 3506-1, dimenzijske možnosti pa po ISO 888 ali ISO 4753.
OPOMBA: Zmanjšana obremenljivost (povezana z dimenzijami glave v kombinaciji s prebojem šestkotnika, navedenega v tem dokumentu) pomeni omejitev končne natezne sile, ki ima posebno oznako (razred lastnosti z ničlo na začetku). Predpostavlja se, da je obremenljivost v glavi 80 % tiste v navoju za vse velikosti in vse razrede lastnosti; glej preglednico 4.

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards
bodies (ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out
through ISO technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical
committee has been established has the right to be represented on that committee. International
organizations, governmental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work.
ISO collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of
electrotechnical standardization.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular, the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of
patent rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or
on the ISO list of patent declarations received (see www.iso.org/patents).
Any trade name used in this document is information given for the convenience of users and does not
constitute an endorsement.
For an explanation of the voluntary nature of standards, the meaning of ISO specific terms and
expressions related to conformity assessment, as well as information about ISO's adherence to
the World Trade Organization (WTO) principles in the Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT), see
www.iso.org/iso/foreword.html.
This document was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 11,
Fasteners with metric external thread, in collaboration with the European Committee for Standardization
(CEN) Technical Committee CEN/TC 185, Fasteners, in accordance with the Agreement on technical
cooperation between ISO and CEN (Vienna Agreement).
This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition (ISO 7380-1:2011), which has been technically
revised.
The main changes are as follows:
— the whole standard (including title) has been improved to clearly point out that these hexagon
socket button head screws have reduced loadability because of their head design (head dimensions
and penetration of the hexagon socket);
— the reference thread length b has been increased to 3d for partially threaded screws M16, so that
these screws can be tensile tested in accordance with ISO 3506-1 (b ≥ 3d is required to tensile test
screws with reduced loadability);
— the reference datum for the outer diameter of the bearing face has been specified (see Figure 1),
and the minimum values have been reduced to d = d × 0,92 considering the manufacturing
w,min k,min
aspects for “button head” (see Table 1);
— e values have been rounded to two decimal places (see Table 1);
min
— the maximum depth of the hexagon socket t has been added (see Table 1);
max
— symbol w has been substituted by the new symbol w in order to define the wall thickness between
b
the bottom of the cylindrical broached hole and the bearing face (see Figure 2 and Table 1);
— the definition of r in Figure 1 has been changed to allow the offset of the centre of the radius from
f
the thread axis;

Fasteners — Button head screws with reduced
loadability —
Part 1:
Hexagon socket button head screws
1 Scope
This document specifies the characteristics of hexagon socket button head screws with reduced
loadability due to head design with metric coarse pitch threads M3 to M16, and with product grade A.
NOTE The reduced loadability (related to the head dimensions in combination with penetration of the
hexagon socket specified in this document) implies a limitation of ultimate tensile load. The loadability in the
head is assumed to be 80% of that in the thread for all sizes and all property classes, see Table 3.
If, in certain cases, other specifications are requested, stainless steel grades can be selected from
ISO 3506-1, and the dimensional options from ISO 888 or ISO 4753.
