Foreword
IS0 (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of
national standards bodies (IS0 member bodies). The work of preparing International
Standards is normally carried out through IS0 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, govern-
mental and non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. IS0
collaborates closely with the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all
matters of electrotechnical standardization.

Draft International Standards adopted by the technical committees are circulated to

the member bodies for voting. Publication as an International Standard requires
approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Introduction
Penetration depths of cross recesses for countersunk flat head screws

The penetration depth of cross recesses for countersunk flat head screws has to satisfy
two requirements which act in opposite directions for a given head dimensi on.

First, there is the requirement for sufficient head strength to attain the proof and break-
ing loads of the respective property class. A shallow cross recess increases the head
strength. On the other hand, the wrenchability of the screw should be satisfactory;
this can only be achieved by a sufficiently deep cross recess.

IS0 7721-2 was developed in order to find a compromise which, as far as possible,
would meet both requirements.
iTeh STANDARD PREVIEW
IS0 7721-2 specifies deep cross recesses for countersunk head screws of low strength :
(standards.iteh.ai)
a good wrenchability is achieved and the head strength is still sufficient. This execution
will be used in IS0 7046-1 (see the foreword).

For screws ISOof7046-2:1990

higher strength, sufficient head strength can only be attained by a
https://standards.iteh.ai/catalog/standards/sist/6a632a83-e8a8-4163-ad48-
shallower penetration depth of the cross recesses. If such screws also require good
14043d7fd1a8/iso-7046-2-1990
wrenchability, then, under the conditions of the common head style, a shoulder has to
be provided under the head, in addition to the larger penetration depth, in order to
guarantee sufficient head strength. This part of IS0 7046 covers both possibilities.

This compromise, which unfortunately results in different, but interchangeable, types

of cross recessed flat countersunk head screws, is at the moment the only way of
reaching an agreement at the international level.
