What is BS EN 4178 - Pan head screws about?
BS EN 4178 is a European standard on aerospace series which covers pan head screws in titanium alloy.
BS EN 4178 specifies the characteristics of screws, pan head, six lobe recess, coarse tolerance normal shank, medium length thread, in titanium alloy, anodized, MoS2 lubricated.
Who is BS EN 4178 - Pan head screws for?
BS EN 4178 on pan head screws is useful for:
- Aerospace parts manufacturers
- Pan head screw manufacturers
Why should you use BS EN 4178 - Pan head screws?
Pan head screws are a common head type of non-countersunk screw head used in wood screws, self-tapping screws, self-drilling screws, and machine screws. They have wide heads, a flat bearing surface, high vertical, chamfered, or curved sides, and a flat or slightly domed top surface with a recessed socket.
Titanium alloys are alloys that contain a mixture of titanium and other chemical elements. Such alloys have very high tensile strength and toughness (even at extreme temperatures). They are light in weight, have extraordinary corrosion resistance and the ability to withstand extreme temperatures.
With the help of BS EN 4178 which specifies the characteristics of pan head screws with six lobe recess in anodized titanium alloy, you can benefit from the use of the information in various aerospace applications. This can help you increase safety in operations.
