Description / Abstract:
This SAE Aerospace Standard covers high strength commercial
sockets and universal sockets which possess the strength,
clearances, and internal wrenching design so configured that, when
mated with hexagon (6 point) fasteners, they shall transmit torque
to the fastener without bearing on the outer 5% of the fastener's
wrenching points. This document provides additional requirements
beyond ANSI B107.5 appropriate for aerospace use.
Inclusion of dimensional data in this document is not intended
to imply all of the products described therein are stock production
sizes. Consumers are requested to consult with manufacturers
concerning lists of stock production sizes.
