Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What does "10 24" mean in a hex head bolt?
"10" refers to the diameter size (a #10 screw, approximately 0.190 inches or 4.8mm). "24" indicates the thread pitch, meaning there are 24 threads per inch. This is a standard Unified National Coarse (UNC) thread.
What is the typical wrench size for a 10 24 hex head bolt?
A standard 10 24 hex head bolt typically requires a 3/16-inch wrench or socket. However, it is always recommended to verify the exact across-flats dimension of the bolt head for your specific application.
Can you provide 10 24 hex head bolts in stainless steel?
Absolutely. We commonly supply these bolts in Grade 304 (A2) and 316 (A4) stainless steel for superior corrosion resistance in harsh environments, such as marine or chemical processing applications.
What are the available plating or coating options?
Beyond standard zinc plating (often with yellow or clear chromate), we offer options like hot-dip galvanizing (HDG), black oxide, and mechanical zinc plating for enhanced durability and specific aesthetic or functional requirements.
Do you offer certification for your bolts?
Yes. We can provide material certifications (Mill Test Reports) and certificates of conformity for our 10 24 hex head bolts upon request, ensuring traceability and compliance with your quality management systems.
