| Part | Meaning |
|---|---|
| Format | MS27039<material code><dash number> |
| Example | MS27039DD0809 = .164-32 UNC-3A, .594 long, anodized aluminum; MS27039-0809 = same, cadmium plated alloy steel; MS27039C0809 = CRES; MS27039B0809 = uncoated bronze; MS27039BP0809 = cadmium plated bronze |
| Length tolerance, length | +.032/-.015 |
| Length tolerance, grip | +/-.015 |
| DD | Material: anodized aluminum alloy |
| BP | Material: cadmium plated manganese bronze |
| B | Material: uncoated manganese bronze |
| - | Material: cadmium plated alloy steel |
| C | Material: heat and corrosion resistant steel |
| Dash | .164-32: four digits (0804 to 0838: 08 = thread, last two = length step). Other sizes: <size digit>-<length step>: 1- = .190-32, 4- = .250-28, 5- = .3125-24, 6- = .375-24, 7- = .4375-20, 8- = .500-20 |
Notes from the standard
- Dimensions to be met after plating. Shank diameter may be .001 oversize for a maximum distance of .031 adjacent to the head. Chamfer plus incomplete thread not to exceed two pitches; maximum 2 imperfect threads.
- Screws free from burrs and sharp edges. Recess per MS9006.
- Short screws listed above the line in Table III (footnote 1) shall be threaded to within .032 +.000/-.032 of the head (no grip tabulated).
- Head marking: basic part number and dash number (basic part number optional for the .164-32 size); material: aluminum none, bronze B, alloy steel dash, CRES C; manufacturer trade mark.
- Table I merged cells: R .020/.010 and U .032 read as applying to sizes .164 to .375, .025/.015 and .047 to .4375, .030/.020 to .500; recess-to-shank eccentricity .030 read as applying to .3125 and larger.
