DIN 912 refers to a specific standard established by the Deutsches Institut für Normung (DIN), which outlines the specifications for hexagon socket head cap screws. These screws are characterized by their cylindrical head and a hexagonal recess that allows for the application of torque using an Allen wrench or hex key. The standard provides detailed information regarding the dimensions, material properties, and mechanical characteristics required for these fasteners, ensuring consistency and reliability in various applications across different industries. Adhering to DIN 912 is crucial for manufacturers and engineers to guarantee that the components meet the necessary performance criteria and safety standards.
