ASME B18.3 Socket Head Cap Screw Manufacturer | Hex Socket Flat Head Bolt
LONGZE ASME B18.3 Socket Head Flat Countersunk Cap Screws are the definitive inch-series solution for high-strength, flush-surface fastening. Designed according to North American industrial standards, these fasteners feature a 82-degree countersunk head (distinct from metric 90-degree standards) to ensure perfect integration with imperial-spec machinery. As a core inch-node in the LONGZE GFM-WCR System, our ASME B18.3 series is forged from high-grade alloy steel, delivering superior fatigue resistance and tensile strength for oil & gas, aerospace, and heavy industrial applications.
Precision-matched factory pairing for ASME-standard imperial assemblies:
- 🔹 Primary Match: ASME B18.2.2 Hex Nuts (UNC/UNF)
- 🔹 Locking Alternative: ASME B18.16.6 Nylon Insert Lock Nuts
- 🔹 Washer Solution: ASME B18.21.1 Helical Spring Lock Washers
