Sl.No. Synosis Points
1 This document specifies the mechanical and physical properties of heat treated tapping screws made of steel, with thread sizes ST2,2 to ST9,5 in accordance with IS 5957 , when tested at the ambient temperature range of 10 °C to 35 °C, and the related test methods. Tapping screws are designed to form mating threads in sheet metals, without their own threads being deformed. Tapping screws are not intended to be pretensioned by design, even though they can experience varying degrees of low-level tensile stress after installation.
2 The major changes in this revision are as follows: a) Document newly structured with regard to requirements and test methods; b) New Table 1 for mechanical and physical properties and related test methods (see 5.1); c) Maximum case-hardened depth increased to 0.12 mm for ST2.2 and ST2.6 (see 5.3); d) Maximum core hardness changed from 370 HV back to 390 HV and core hardness test specified more precisely (see 5.4 and 6.4); e) New clauses for ductility and ductility test added (see 5.8 and 6.8); f) Test method for case‑hardened depth determination modified (see 6.3); g) Torsional test specified more precisely (see 6.7); h) Clause on inspection has been added; and j) Clause for marking and labelling has been added
