TVS Socket Head Cap Screws, ISO 4762 metric – M3 to M42, grades 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9

TVS Sundram Fasteners Socket Head Cap Screws, ISO 4762 metric are cylindrical-head screws with an internal hexagon drive, made by Sundram Fasteners Limited to IS 2269 / ISO 4762 / DIN 912, in metric sizes from M3 to M42, property class 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9, supplied in zinc phosphate and 3 plated or coated finishes (listed below). They are fully threaded. Socket head cap screws sit in a counterbore flush with the surface and take high torque from a small key, which is why they are the standard fastener on machine tools, dies, jigs and equipment where space around the head is tight.

SFL's retail price list of October 2026 gives recommended retail list prices from Rs 655 to Rs 272,785 per 100 pieces across the listed sizes; the exact price for your sizes, lengths, property class and finish is confirmed on enquiry.

Jai Enterprises is an authorised distributor of TVS Sundram Fasteners high tensile fasteners and supplies them from Bhilai and Raipur all over Chhattisgarh - Bhilai, Raipur, Durg, Korba, Bilaspur, Raigarh, Jagdalpur, Kanker, Ambikapur and every other district - and across India.

Is this the right one for you?

Check these five things before you order:

• Your thread is metric coarse pitch (M sizes).
• The size you need is within M3 to M42.
• You want thread right up to the head (fully threaded). For a plain shank, choose the socket head cap bolt of the same standard.
• One of the property classes 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 covers your load; 12.9 is the usual choice for machine building, 8.8 and 10.9 where a lower strength is specified.
• There is room for a counterbore or at least for the cylindrical head; otherwise look at the low head or button head versions.

Why choose TVS Sundram Fasteners

• Made by Sundram Fasteners Limited, a TVS group company making high tensile fasteners since 1966: first Indian company with ISO 9000, IATF 16949:2016 certified, Deming Prize 2018 for 17 plants.
• Every lot is backed by a BIS, NABL and ISO/IEC 17025 certified laboratory - tensile, fatigue, torque-tension, salt spray and coating thickness testing - as described in SFL's technical product catalogue (September 2026 edition).
• Made to a named standard - IS 2269 / ISO 4762 / DIN 912 - with the dimensions published in SFL's technical catalogue, so parts interchange with any other maker's to the same standard.
• The grade mark on each part shows its property class (8.8, 10.9 and 12.9), so site inspection is simple.
• A choice of finishes - zinc phosphate, trivalent iridescent (8.8 & 10.9), trivalent white (8.8 & 10.9) and zinc flake coating (Geomet / Magni / Delta) - from plain indoor use to zinc flake coating for outdoor and corrosive service.
• Available through Jai Enterprises in Bhilai and Raipur, with the full size range to order.

How to choose and fit

1. Pick the thread series and size from the drawing or the mating part: measure the diameter and pitch (or threads per inch) rather than guessing.
2. Choose the length: for a nut and bolt, add the grip (total thickness clamped) to the nut height plus two or three threads; for a tapped hole, allow at least one diameter of engagement in steel.
3. Choose the property class the designer specified: 12.9 is the usual choice for socket screws in machine building; 8.8 and 10.9 where the design calls for a lower class or a plated finish.
4. Choose the finish for the environment: zinc phosphate for indoor or oiled use, trivalent zinc plating for mild exposure, zinc flake coating for outdoor and corrosive sites.
5. Tighten to the torque the design calls for, with a washer under the turned element where needed, and use a nut of matching class.
6. Use a hex key of the exact socket size; the key size for each diameter is in the table above.

Frequently asked questions

What is the price of Socket Head Cap Screws, ISO 4762 metric?

SFL's recommended retail list price effective 1 October 2026 runs from Rs 655 to Rs 272,785 per 100 pieces across the listed sizes, for the zinc phosphate (grey/black) finish, grades 12.9 and 10.9. The examples above show typical sizes. Call Jai Enterprises on +91 9340081159 with your sizes, grade, finish and quantity for the exact price; grade 8.8, other finishes and non-listed lengths are quoted on enquiry.

What do the property classes 8.8, 10.9 and 12.9 mean?

They are ISO 898-1 strength classes. The first number is the nominal tensile strength in hundreds of MPa (the minimum is a little higher: 830 MPa for 8.8 above M16, 1,040 for 10.9 and 1,220 for 12.9) and the second the ratio of yield to tensile: 8.8 is 800 MPa tensile with 640 MPa yield, 10.9 is 1,000 MPa with 900 MPa yield and 12.9 is 1,200 MPa with 1,080 MPa yield (nominal values). A higher class carries more clamp load in the same size, and needs a nut of matching class.

What key size does it take?

The hexagon socket (key) size for each diameter is in the table above. Use a key of that exact size, pushed fully home; a smaller key will round the socket.

Why is 12.9 the usual grade for socket screws?

Socket head cap screws are mostly used in machine building, where a small head must carry a high clamp load; class 12.9 (1,200 MPa tensile) gives that. 8.8 and 10.9 are made for designs that specify them.

Yes. Jai Enterprises, an authorised distributor of TVS Sundram Fasteners, supplies from Bhilai and Raipur all over Chhattisgarh and across India. Call +91 9340081159 or use the enquiry form.

Can I get a different finish or a non-listed size?

Yes. The standard finishes are zinc phosphate, trivalent iridescent (8.8 & 10.9), trivalent white (8.8 & 10.9) and zinc flake coating (Geomet / Magni / Delta); other finishes and sizes or lengths outside the list are quoted on enquiry from SFL.
