What Are 12-PT Flange Screws?

Twelve-point flange screws are specialized fasteners identifiable by their distinctive head design that features 12 contact points. In contrast, standard hex head bolts only have six points. The 12-point head allows higher torque application without slippage, ensuring tighter, more reliable fastening.

The integrated flange provides a larger bearing surface that evenly distributes clamping loads and eliminates the need for purchasing separate washers. Whether you are assembling components for a jet engine or a critical refinery system, these screws deliver unmatched durability and precision.

Industries and Applications

Ferry cap screws made from exotic alloys are valuable in numerous industries and applications that require superior resistance to heat, chemicals and other stressors.

Aerospace

The aerospace industry requires lightweight flanged screws that can resist high temperatures and corrosion.

Automotive and Motorsports

The automotive and motorsports industries rely on 12-point flange bolts made from lightweight materials that are resistant to extreme heat, excessive vibrations and mechanical stress. Their superior torque capacity makes these screws invaluable for various applications.

Marine

Fasteners in the marine industry must offer exceptional resistance to saltwater corrosion and prolonged exposure to moisture.

  • Applications: Ship hull assemblies, underwater propulsion systems and subsea equipment
  • Materials: Monel 400 and K-Monel

Oil and Gas

The oil and gas industry uses 12-point bolts for equipment that must endure high temperatures and aggressive chemicals.

Power Generation

Power generation depends on 12-point bolts in equipment that require high performance under high heat, heavy loads and harsh chemical conditions.

 

Tips for Purchasing 12-Point Flange Screws

Here are some tips for selecting and ordering your 12-point flange screws:

  • Material: Specify the appropriate alloy and grade based on the environmental conditions and/or load requirements of your project.
  • Thread type: Confirm whether you need coarse or fine threads for your fasteners.
  • Dimensions: Determine your diameter and length to align with your design and counterbored hole requirements.
  • Coating and finish: Consider additional coatings and/or finishes for added protection against extreme conditions.
  • Specifications: Confirm the type of specification requirement. This could be IFI, MIL-SPEC, DIN or other.
  • Torque specifications: Verify torque specifications to prevent over- or under-tightening during installation.
