Professional Applications & Engineering Value

This 316 stainless steel socket head cap screw delivers exceptional engineering value in applications where corrosion resistance and mechanical reliability are paramount. The combination of Class 3A thread fit and UNC coarse threading provides superior vibration resistance in heavy machinery, processing equipment, and marine installations. The passivated finish enhances the inherent corrosion resistance of 316 stainless steel, making these socket head cap screws ideal for chemical processing, offshore platforms, and food processing equipment where exposure to aggressive media is common. The partially threaded configuration allows for precise clamping force concentration while the hex socket drive ensures secure installation in confined spaces, reducing the risk of fastener failure in critical industrial fastening applications.

Specification Summary & Compliance

This socket head cap screw features precision 3/8"-16 UNC coarse threads with Class 3A fit tolerance for optimal thread engagement. Manufacturing complies with inch system standards, featuring a 5/16" hex drive, 9/16" head diameter, and 8" overall length with minimum 1-1/4" thread length. The fastener meets RoHS 3 (2015/863/EU) and REACH (EC 1907/2006) compliance requirements, ensuring environmental responsibility while delivering consistent 70,000 psi tensile strength performance across industrial applications.
