English term or phrase: Screw, #8 x 1/2 PTRH, Type 17, Serr, SS
I have to translate some hardware description with many abbreviations that I do not know. Is anybody familiar with PTRH, PPHD, PPH, PPH M/S. If you have any information where I can find good information, even images of the different kind of screws, please let me know. Or maybe, it is simply the same abbreviations in French...
Thanks in advance.

French translation:Vis #8 x 1/2 à tête cylindrique bombée, type 17, cannelée, acier inoxydable
Explanation:
In my opinion PTRH would stand for protruding head (tête saillante), PPH Phillips pan head (vis à tête cylindrique bombée Phillps), PPHD (vis à tête cylindrique Phillips pour perceuse), Serr - serrated (vis cannelée), SS - stainless steel (acier inoxydable).

Hopefully this will help.

Notes to answerer
Asker: Merci beaucoup Manon. Ces explications m'ont aide dans mes recherches. Je vais confirmer avec mon client pour la signification de PTRH pour être bien sure qu'il s'agit de protruding head. Je vais utiliser crantée au lieu de cannelée.
