The M5 size of Sealing Screws with Bonded Washer is dimensioned by DIN 933. The tables below give the dimensional row from the standard, the drill and spanner sizes that go with it, and the assembly torque per property class. The technical drawing on this page redraws to the exact values selected.
M5 Dimensional Row (DIN 933)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Across flats s (mm) | Head height k (mm) | Seal outer diameter (mm) | Seal thickness (mm) | Seal material | Common length range (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M5 | 0.8 | 8 | 3.5 | 10 | 1.0 | NBR | 8~40 | DIN 933 + BS 4518 |
Spanner & Drive for M5 Sealing Screws with Bonded Washer
Drive geometry for M5 Sealing Screws with Bonded Washer is given by the row above; match the tool to the listed values.
Hole Sizes for M5
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 0.8 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 5.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 4.2 mm |
Tightening Torque for M5
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 5.9 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 8.7 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 10 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M5
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 14.2 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 8.2 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 12 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 14 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 11 kN |
Proof load = tensile stress area × the proof stress Sp of the class, per ISO 898-1 — Sp is a lower figure than the yield stress Rp0.2 and the two are not interchangeable. The stress area is computed from this size's own diameter and pitch, so a fine-pitch designation gives the fine-pitch figure. Design the joint so the working preload stays below the proof load of the class selected.
M5 Sealing Screws with Bonded Washer Weight
A steel M5 sealing screws with bonded washer at the listed 840 mm length weighs approximately 131 g each — about 131 kg per 1,000 pieces. Stainless A2/A4 weighs roughly the same (density 7.9–8.0 g/cm³).
Actual weight varies slightly with head form, thread and finish; use this figure for freight estimation only.
Installation Tips for M5 Sealing Screws with Bonded Washer
- At M5 the joint is sensitive to over-torque — use a torque-limiting driver and check the head doesn't bury into a softer counterpart.
When to Step Up or Down from M5
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M5 class 8.8, step up to M6 class 8.8 (or move to M5 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M4 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
