Frequently Asked Questions About NAS1802 Screws

What is a NAS1802 screw?

NAS1802 is a National Aerospace Standard covering socket head cap screws engineered for aerospace and high-integrity assemblies. These fasteners use a hex socket drive with a controlled head profile and thread form. The standard fixes dimensions, materials, and mechanical properties so each screw delivers dependable performance in critical joints.

How does NAS1802 differ from NAS1801?

Both standards sit in the same socket head cap screw family and share aerospace-grade control, yet they cover different thread lengths and grip configurations. NAS1801 screws are fully threaded, while NAS1802 screws provide a defined unthreaded grip section. That grip suits joints that require accurate alignment and clean shear loading between mating parts.

Which materials are NAS1802 screws made from?

These screws are commonly produced from alloy steel for high tensile strength or from A286 corrosion-resistant steel for heat and oxidation resistance. The right grade depends on load, temperature, and exposure. A286 performs in hot and corrosive environments, while alloy steel is used in strength-led structural and load-bearing applications.

Where are NAS1802 screws commonly used?

They are used in airframe structures, engine mounts, control assemblies, and other joints that demand strength, precision, and traceability. The grip length supports accurate fit and resists shear in stacked components. Engineers choose them for assemblies that are subject to vibration, cyclic loading, and strict safety certification requirements.
