ASME B18.24-2023

Description

The ASME B18 series includes a set of standards related to various fasteners, such as bolts, nuts, screws, and studs. These standards are developed by the American Society of Mechanical Engineers (ASME) to ensure the quality, compatibility, and interchangeability of fasteners used in mechanical and structural applications.

ASME B18.24 specifically pertains to metric thread forming screws. Thread forming screws, also known as self-tapping screws, are designed to create their own internal threads in a pre-drilled hole. Metric thread forming screws are those that adhere to the metric system of measurement.
