IFI NOTES:

1. ASME 818.11 (R 2000) is a standard developed through the proce-

dures of The American Society of Mechanical Engineers. 818.11 is
under the jurisdiction of ASME Standards Committee 818.

2. The latest edition of 818.11 was published in 1961. Since that time
the standard has been reviewed, reaffirmed and reissued, without
technical change, in 1975, again in 1983, 1992 and 2000.

3. Screw threads for miniature screws are covered in ASME S1.10M.

This standard is not included in this book. Copies of ASME S1.10M
are available from The American Society of Mechanical Engineers.

4. The following reprint of 818.11 (R 2000) has been modestly edited.

None of the editorial changes affects technical content in any way.

5. ASME 818.11·1961 (R 2000) is reprinted with the permission of its

publisher, The American Society of Mechanical Engineers, Three
Park Avenue, New York, NY 10016-5990, U.S.A.

1. Introductory Notes 1.2 Head Types

1.1 Scope 1.2.1 Fillister Head. The fi llister head has a

flat top surface (oval crown optional), cylindrical
1.1.1 Thi s standard esta blishes head types , sides, and a flat bearing surface. Head propor-

thei r dimensions, and lengths of slotted head
miniature screws, threaded in conformance with
American National Standard, Unified Miniature
Screw Threads, AS ME 81.1 0M .
This standard is predicated upon infor-
mation derived through research of the maxi-
mum using industries. The inclusion of four head
types and the given thread sizes in the data
tables is not intended to imply that all of those
described in this standard are stock production
items. Preferred diameter pitch combinations
for general use are shown in bold type in the
tables. Consumer interests are requested to
consult manufacturers' catalogs for lists of cur-
rent stock production miniature screws.
I
tions are given in Table 1.
1.2.2 Pan Head. The pan head has a flat top
surface, cylindrical sides, and a flat bea ring sur-
face . The head height is less than the fi l1ister
but the head diameter is slightly larger. Head
proportions are given in Table 2.
1.2.3 Flat Head. Th e flat head has a flat top
surface and a conical bearing surface with an
included ·angle of approximately 100°. Head
proportions are given in Table 3.
1.2.4 Binding Head. The head height is less
than the pan head, but the head diameter is

NOTES.
(1) Bold face Indicates preferred diameter/length combinations.
(2) Nom screw sizes a re deSignated as 100 times the basic major dia of thread in millimete rs. Fo r example, 30 UNM ha s a basic

bodies by more than 2 percent of the maximum
head diameter or 0.001, whichever is greater.
2.4.2 Eccentricity of Slots. Slots in miniature
screw heads shall not be eccentric with screw
bodies by more than 5 percent of the nominal
body diameter.
2.5 Underhead Fillets. The radius of the
fillet under perpendicular bearing surface type
heads shall not exceed 0.5 times the pitch ofthe
thread. The radius of the fillet under conical
bearing surface type heads shall not exceed 2
times the pitch of the thread. The radius of the
fillet under the binding head is given in Table 4.
2.6 Unthreaded Diameter. On miniature
screws not threaded to the head, the diameter
of the unthreaded body shall not be more than
the maximum major diameter of the thread nor
less than the minimum pitch diameter of the
thread .
2.7 Length. The length of miniature screws
having perpendicular bearing surface type heads
shall be measured from the bearing surface to
the extreme end in a line parallel to the axis of
the screw. The length of screws with conical
bearing surface type heads shall be measured
from the top of the head to the extreme end in a
line parallel to the axis of the screw. Preferred
I
lengths are those listed in Table 5.
2.8 Tolerance on Length. The length toler-
ance of miniature screws shall conform to the
limits given in Table 5.
2.9 Length of Thread. On all miniature
screws having a length four times the nominal
body diameter or less, the threaded length shall
extend to within two threads of the bearing sur-
face of the head. Screws of greater length shall
J- 56
ASME
B18.11
1961 (R 2000)
have complete threads for a minimum of four
diameters.
2.10 End of Body. Miniature screws shall be
regularly supplied with flat ends having a cham-
fer of approximately 45 deg extending to the
minor diameter of the thread as a minimum
depth.
2.11 Thread Series and Tolerances. The
screw threads of miniature screws shall be in
conformance with American National Standard,
Unified Miniature Screw Threads, ASME Bl .l0M
-1997.
2.12 Material and Finish. Miniature screws
are generally supplied in ferrous and nonferrous
materials, coatings and heat treatments which
must be specified by the user. Coatings, when
required, are limited to those of electroplating or
chemical oxidation.
2.13 Designation. Screws in conformance
with this standard shall be identified by the des-
ignation for thread size in conformance with
ASME Bl.l0M followed by the nominal length
in units of 1/1000 inch (omitting the decimal point)
and the head type . Typical examples are:
60 UNM x 040 Fit Hd
100 UNM x OBO Pan Hd
120 UNM x 120 Flat Hd
140 UNM x 250 Bind Hd
2.14 Machined Finish. Roughness of the
machined surfaces of heads shall not exceed
63 micro-inches arithmetical average (per ASME
846.1, Surface Texture) determined by visual
comparison with roughness comparison speci-
mens.
2.15 Dimensions. All dimensions are in
inches, unless otherwise specified.
