DIN 913-916 Socket Set Screws Specification

Dimensional table, tolerance classes and the DIN / ISO / ASME parts that supersede or match this standard.

DIN 913-916 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for socket set screws. The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it.

Standard: DIN 913-916
Product: Socket Set Screws
Governing standards: ISO 4026 / ISO 4029 / DIN 913-916

Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting.

The table below lists the dimensions catalogued for socket set screws under DIN 913-916. The scope of DIN 913-916 itself is not summarised here — where a figure matters, confirm it against the published document.

DIN 913-916 — Scope

Tolerance & Product Grades

Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to DIN 913-916. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table.

Equivalent Standards

Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent Socket Set Screws page.

Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.

Companion Standards

A complete specification for socket set screws normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. DIN 913-916 is one of them, not all of them.

Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing

Need a screw to this standard in a non-standard size?

Parts built to DIN 913 916 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or warm forging.

Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.

Technical Drawing

Customize the parameters below — every spec field is editable, and the drawing redraws to match the values you choose. Changing the size will snap the other fields to that size's standard values; you can then override any individual value.

Dimensioned line drawing of M1.6 Socket Set Screws to ISO 4026 / ISO 4029 / DIN 913-916. Side view and top view, drawn to the dimensions in the table below and redrawn for any size selected.

Pitch (mm): 0.35
Hex socket s (mm): 0.7
Engagement depth t min (mm): 0.7
Point diameter dp (mm): 0.8
End type: Flat point

Applications & Industries

What Socket Set Screws are specified for, industry by industry. Stocked from M1.6 to M48.

Industries that specify Socket Set Screws

Maintenance & MRO Stocked replacements matched to an existing property class, thread and finish.
Food, pharma & cleanroom Stainless assemblies that are washed down, where the finish matters as much as the strength.
Machine building & OEM The default fastener on production equipment: covers, brackets, motor mounts and sub-assemblies tightened to a specified torque.
Automotive & transport Chassis, driveline and body fixings that see vibration and are assembled to a controlled preload.
Steel fabrication Bolted connections in frames, enclosures, walkways and weldments, on the bench and on site.
Energy & infrastructure Tower, pipework, switchgear and plant fixings specified for long service life and inspectable joints.

Typical applications

assemblies that are dismantled for service and re-torqued
joints where the property class is stated on the drawing
clamping two machined faces to a calculated preload
bolting brackets, motors and gearboxes to a frame

Service conditions to specify against

Marine and coastal: Available in A4 (316) stainless for chloride exposure — coastal structures, pool halls, water treatment and deck hardware, where A2 will eventually pit.
High load: Supplied in ISO 898-1 property classes, so the joint can be designed to a stated proof load and tightened to a calculated torque rather than by feel.
Torque and preload: The joint is designed around bolt tension, so lubrication, coating and the friction coefficient all change the torque figure — state them together.

Where to use something else

Do not use a machine thread into unthreaded sheet or timber; use a tapping screw, rivet nut or insert made for that parent material.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

01

Cold heading

Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
02

Thread rolling

Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
03

Heat treatment

Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
04

Surface treatment

Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

Which edition of DIN 913-916 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply socket set screws to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

Can I substitute DIN 913-916 for the corresponding DIN standard on a drawing?

On modern drawings the ISO standard is the master reference; the older DIN equivalent is a cross-reference. For most dimensional purposes the parts are interchangeable, but check tolerance grades and the head height — these are the most common points of divergence.

How do I request a quotation?

Use the technical drawing on this page to pick the exact configuration, then submit it with the quote form. We respond within one business day.
