{size} Head and Square Neck Dimensions (unit mm)

Round head square neck form: a dome head with a square neck under it. The square neck seats in a square hole of the part being joined to stop the bolt from turning — common in timber structures, guardrails, pallets and conveying equipment.

Nominal diameter d14 mm
Coarse pitch P (GB/T 196 series)2 mm
Head diameter dk (dome max OD)29.3 mm
Head height k1 (dome height)9.45 mm
Square neck width s14.43 mm
Thread length b (partly threaded basis)2d + 6 mm

Row-level standard labelling: dimensions follow GB/T 12-2013 Round Head Square Neck Bolts (small dome head, max nominal values) as the primary source; DIN 603 is the equivalent German series and ISO 8677 the equivalent ISO series, cited for series reference only — no table values are reproduced from them. Tolerances, property classes and surface finish are agreed separately against the buyer's drawing or contract.

{size} Length Series: Under-Head / Overall / Unit Weight

Length convention (the point this chart adds): the length L specified by GB/T 12 and DIN 603 is the under-head length — measured from the bearing face (below the square neck) to the end of the shank, excluding the dome head. Overall length including the head = L + k1. Reporting the same bolt by the wrong convention shifts the figure by one head height ({k1} mm for {size}), so confirm the convention with the supplier before assembly.

Unit weight = geometric volume of full-diameter shank (pi/4 x d^2 x L) + dome head (pi*h/6 x (3r^2 + h^2)) + square neck (s^2 x 0.5d), times 7.85 g/cm3 for carbon steel; rounded to avoid false precision (whole g below 100 g, 10 g steps below 1,000 g, 100 g steps above). Length series covers the catalog standard 20-80 mm plus common longer sizes made to order.

Material Density Conversion

Table values are for carbon steel (7.85 g/cm3); other materials convert by density ratio: weight x factor (geometry unchanged).

304 Stainless Steel7.93×1.010

Calculation Basis and Assumptions Disclosed

Dimensions come from fastenerCalc.CB_DIMS (GB/T 12-2013 round head square neck, max nominal values, same source as the product catalog SKUs and the online weight calculator). Unit weights are all computed from geometry x density: full-diameter shank (pi/4 x d^2 x L) + dome head (pi*h/6 x (3r^2 + h^2)) + square neck (s^2 x 0.5d), at 7.85 g/cm3 for carbon steel, base metal only, coating excluded. Thread length follows the GB/T 12 partly threaded rule b = 2d + 6 (full thread when the shank is shorter, b = L), which matches the catalog spec_json threadLenMm row by row. No table values are reproduced from any copyrighted standard (e.g. ASME B18.5).

Boundary: unit weights are theoretical geometry estimates (excluding coatings and any rolled-thread material saving) for quotation, freight and packing budgets; actual weight varies with thread accuracy, head tolerance and coating (hot-dip galvanizing roughly +4.5%), and trade settlement is against actual measurement. Head diameter dk is a max nominal value and may differ from the buyer's drawing or sample; this chart is not an acceptance basis.

FAQ

What are the head diameter and square neck size of a M14 carriage bolt?

On the GB/T 12-2013 basis: M14 has head diameter dk=29.3 mm, head height k1=9.45 mm, square neck width s=14.43 mm, nominal diameter d=M14 and coarse pitch 2 mm. The head is a dome with a square neck beneath it; the square neck seats in a square hole of the joined part to prevent rotation, which is what separates a carriage bolt from a hex bolt.

Is the stated carriage bolt length measured under the head or overall?

The length L specified by both GB/T 12 and DIN 603 is the under-head length - measured from the bearing face (below the square neck) to the end of the shank, excluding the dome head. Overall length including the head = L + k1. For M14x50: under-head length 50 mm, overall length 59.45 mm, a difference of one head height (9.45 mm). Size the stack thickness of rails or pallets on the under-head length; quoting the overall length instead leaves the bolt either too long to seat or too short to engage.

How much does one M14 carriage bolt weigh?

Computed from geometry (carbon steel at 7.85 g/cm3, coating excluded): M14x50 is about 100 g/pc (about 22.05 lb per 100 pcs) and M14x100 about 160 g/pc. 304 stainless runs about x1.010 and 316 about x1.017 (geometry unchanged, density ratio only). At the same diameter the weight grows with shank length; the length-series table on this page covers each size.

What is the difference between GB/T 12 and DIN 603?

They are the Chinese and German series for the same form (round head square neck carriage bolt): head and square neck geometry match and the length convention matches (under-head in both). The differences sit in tolerances, property classes and how surface finish is specified. This chart labels dimensions row by row on the GB/T 12-2013 basis and cites DIN 603 for series equivalence only, reproducing no table values from it. Order against a drawing or the standard the buyer names; head diameter tolerances differ between the two series and mixing them can upset countersink fits.

What thread length does a carriage bolt have, and is it fully threaded?

On the GB/T 12 partly threaded basis b = 2d + 6: for M14, b=34 mm. Taking M14x50 as an example, the threaded portion is 34 mm and the plain shank 16 mm; when the shank is shorter than b the bolt is fully threaded (b = L). Threads are roll formed to the GB/T 196/197 metric coarse profile (M14 pitch 2 mm). Fully threaded or extended-thread versions are made to drawing.
