This standard covers the complete general and dimensional data for the various
types of slotted and recessed head wood screws recognized as "American
National Standard." Also included are appendixes which provide specifications and
instructions for penetration gaging and wobble gaging of recessed head screws;
documentation for screw head types relegated to non-preferred status; and formulas
on which dimensional data are based. It shall be understood, however, that where
questions arise concerning acceptance of product, the dimensions given in the
tables shall govern over recalculation by formula. The inclusion of dimensional data
in this standard is not intended to imply that all of the products described are stock
production sizes. Consumers should consult with manufacturers concerning the
availability of products.
