Detailed Engineering Specifications

Trusted by engineers across multiple sectors, this M13 x 130mm brass hex head cap screw is manufactured to exacting standards. The material's inherent corrosion resistance makes it ideal for environments prone to moisture and chemical exposure. With a nominal head width of 12mm, it provides a secure seating surface for wrenches and tools, facilitating precise torque application. Brass's non-sparking properties are advantageous in potentially flammable atmospheres, while its pliability allows for slight deformation without fracture, contributing to joint integrity. This specification is suitable for applications requiring a balance of strength, durability, and aesthetic appeal.
