INTRODUCTION

Countersunk flat head screws, particularly those with a cross-recess (Type H or Z), are essential fasteners in various industries including automotive, electronics, and construction. Ensuring that these screws meet the highest quality standards is crucial for their reliability and performance in demanding environments. The Indian Standard IS 7485 (Part 1) sets the parameters for Countersunk Flat Head Screws (Common Head Style) with Type H or Z Cross Recess of Product Grade A and Property Class 4.8. To signify compliance with this standard, manufacturers need to obtain BIS certification, which guarantees that the screws meet the necessary technical, mechanical, and safety standards.

OVERVIEW OF IS 7485 (PART 1)

The Indian Standard IS 7485 (Part 1) is aligned with ISO 7046-1 and specifies the characteristics and requirements for countersunk flat head screws made of steel with a property class of 4.8. These screws are designed with a Type H or Type Z cross-recess, which enhances the efficiency of torque transmission and ease of installation.

The main highlights of this standard include:

Threading and Dimensional Specifications: The screws range from M1.6 to M10, and the standard defines precise tolerances for shank diameter, recess depth, and thread pitch to ensure compatibility and reliability.

Material Requirements: Screws must be made from steel with specified mechanical properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, and hardness. These properties ensure the screw can withstand operational stress.

Mechanical Properties: The screws are classified under Property Class 4.8, which specifies the mechanical strength, providing a balance between toughness and flexibility.

Surface Treatment: The standard also mentions requirements for surface coatings, such as electroplating, which enhances corrosion resistance.
