NOTE

This standard was originally published

in 1966 to cover the dimensions
of countersink
for
screws Ml.6 to M20 and counterbores
for cheese head and socket head screws Ml.6 to M26
according to IS : 1365-1962
and IS : 1366-1962,
respectively.
It was first revised in 1975 a&published
in two parts; Part 1 covered the dimensions for cowltersinks of two types-Type
A for screws according IS : 1365.1968
Specification
for slotted
countersunk
head and slotted raised countersunk
head screws (second revision) in the diameter
range 1.6 to 20 mm, and Type 6 for screws according to IS: 5308-l 969 Specification for slotted
countersunk
head screws. small head series (dia 1.6 to 6 mm 1. In the revision care was also taken
to conform the dimensions specified in I$ : 1821-1982
Dimensions for clearance holes for bolts
and screws (second revision);
IS : 5693.1970
Specification for countersunk
with parallel shanks.
arid IS : 5703-1970
Specification
for countersunks
with morse taper shanks.
This second revision incorporates a number
and other developments
in this field.
The main

modifications

of changes as a result of further

experience

gained

are:

a) Inclusion of more number of tables to cover the dimensions for screws and bolts according to
IS : 6761-1972.
IS : 7169-1974.
IS : 7170-1974.
IS : 7485.1985.
IS : 7486.1985,
IS : 8412.
1977 and IS : 8911-1978.
b) Addition
