A. Differences between Screw & Bolt
They are both threaded fixings and have a head
for tightening the fastener but there is more to it than
that. The most obvious way of differentiating
between a bolt and a screw is that a bolt is not
usually threaded all the way along its shank as it has
a plain portion. A screw, however, is threaded fully
to the head.
A screw is usually installed into a tapped hole, unless it is a self-tapping screw which
creates its own thread. Screws don’t need nuts, as they become secure by being
tightened into the hole with a screwdriver or driver bit which fits into the drive recess.
Generally speaking, screws are shorter than the width of the material they are being
screwed into, so that they don’t protrude on to the other side.

Bolts are designed to be installed with a suitable nut. The hole
for a bolt is not tapped as the bolt is pushed through and is fixed
and tightened using a nut at the back of the material being
fastened. So a bolt will be longer than the width of the material it
is being used on, as it needs to protrude through to the other side
to screw into the nut. The unthreaded portion of the bolt (which
sits inside the material) adds strength, making it more resistant to
shear forces, compared to fully threaded screws. Bolts are usually
fastened using a spanner or other tool which grips the head whilst
the nut is tightened. Bolts can also be used in the same way as
screws though, if they are installed into threaded components.

Part Number of Screw

A part number is an identifier of a particular part design used in a

particular industry. Its purpose is to simplify referencing to that part. A part
number unambiguously identifies a part design within a single corporation,
and sometimes across several corporations. For example, when specifying a
screw, it is easier to refer to "HSC0424PP" than saying "Hardware, screw,
machine, 4-40, 3/4" long, panhead, Phillips". In this example,
"HSC0424PP" is the part number, and it may be prefixed in database fields
as "PN HSC0424PP" or "P/N HSC0424PP".
