B16 Brass Set Screws — Specifications & Dimensions
B16 Brass Set screws are externally threaded fasteners typically driven into a tapped hole or self-tapped material. TorqBolt manufactures B16 Brass Set screws per ASME B18.3 (socket products), ASME B18.6.3 (machine screws), DIN 912 / 7991 / 6912, and ISO 4762 / 10642, in metric M3–M48 and imperial 0–1/2".
Drive Types
Hex socket (Allen) — ASME B18.3 / DIN 912, primary for high-torque industrial use
B16 Brass Set screws are available in cap (cylindrical), button (low-profile dome), countersunk / flat (82° or 90°), pan, fillister, truss, and shoulder configurations. Countersunk per DIN 7991 with 90° head angle is standard for metric; 82° per ASME B18.6.3 for imperial.
Thread & Length
B16 Brass Set screws use full-thread or partial-thread (length-under-head) configurations. Machine screws are typically full-thread; cap screws use partial thread for grip control. Threading per ASME B1.1 (UNC/UNF) or ISO 965 (metric coarse/fine), Class 2A or 6g default. Length-under-head is measured from the bearing surface for hex/cap, from the largest face for countersunk. Custom lengths quoted to drawing.
Specialty Screws
TorqBolt produces B16 Brass Set set screws (cup-point, cone-point, dog-point, flat-point, hex-socket DIN 913/914/915/916), shoulder screws (precision-ground shoulder for pivot applications), and self-tapping screws (Type AB, Type 25). All certified per EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 with optional NACE MR0175 sour-service compliance.
Copper-Nickel & Cupronickel Alloys
Copper-nickel (cupronickel) alloys combine copper's bio-fouling resistance with nickel's strength and corrosion enhancement. The two production grades dominate marine + desalination service where titanium is too costly: 90/10 Cu-Ni (~90% Cu, 10% Ni) and 70/30 Cu-Ni. Cu-Ni alloys are the only commercial materials inherently resistant to marine bio-fouling, eliminating the need for antifouling coatings on heat-exchanger tubes and ship hulls.
C70600 (90/10 Cu-Ni) is the high-volume marine alloy: yield ~105 MPa, used for desalination tubing, condenser tubes, hull cladding, and offshore piping fasteners. C71500 (70/30 Cu-Ni) increases nickel for higher strength (~160 MPa yield) and better seawater erosion-corrosion at higher flow velocities — the choice for naval condensers and high-pressure desalination. C71640 (70/30 + Fe + Mn) extends service to even higher flow rates.
Cu-Ni fasteners ship per ASTM B151 (rod/bar) and B171 (plate/forging) with EN 10204 3.1 / 3.2 certificates. Welding uses ERCuNi or ENiCu-7 filler with low-heat-input technique to avoid hot cracking. NACE MR0175 sour-service application is limited; ammoniacal stress-corrosion can occur if exposed to NH₃ in service.
