15、Industry Standards Committee as a result of requests received from industry for the provision of a new standard covering steel hexagon prevailing-torque type nuts. This type of product has been standardized in the USA over a period of many years and the USA has submitted a draft ISO proposal, coveri
16、ng both metric and inch series products, which has been adopted by ISO/TC2, “Bolts, nuts and accessories”, as the basis for ISO draft Recommendations. Where possible, the provisions of the following ISO Recommendations and ISO Standard have also been incorporated in the text of this standard: This s
17、tandard purposely relates to metric series products only, since it was felt that confusion might arise if inch series products having similar performance, functional and material requirements (but differing with regard to dimensional and identification characteristics), were included in a composite
18、document. Thus, not withstanding the amount of duplication involved, it was considered advisable to prepare similar but separate documents for the metric and inch series products. The dimensional and identification requirements in this document are based on current ISO metric practice. NOTETwo prope
19、rty classes,8 and12 from ISO/R898/II have been included in this standard. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary provisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer
20、immunity from legal obligations. ISO Recommendation R272, “Hexagon bolts and nuts. Metric series. Widths across flats, heights of heads, thicknesses of nuts”.

24、ecifies the general dimensions and tolerances of prevailing-torque type nuts with ISO metric threads in diameters from3mm to36mm inclusive. 1.2 Mechanical properties and performance requirements are given only in respect of steel nuts, with or without non-metallic inserts such as nylon, which are no
25、t to be used for special applications such as those requiring weldability, corrosion resistance or the ability to withstand temperatures above300C(120 C for nuts with non-metallic inserts) or below 50 C. 1.3 Two nut heights are specified, designated “normal” and “high” respectively. The particular d
26、esign used by the nut manufacturer will determine which of these height categories is applicable. 1.4 Unless otherwise specified by the purchaser either normal or high nuts, with or without non-metallic inserts, may be supplied. NOTEThe titles of the British Standards referred to in this standard ar
27、e listed on the inside back cover. 2 Definition For the purposes of this British Standard the following definition applies: prevailing-torque type nut a nut which is frictionally resistant to rotation due to a self-contained prevailing-torque feature and not because of a compressive load developed a
28、t assembly against the bearing surface of the nut. The term prevailing-torque is not intended to imply an indefinite permanence of fixity 3 Property class designation system 3.1 This standard includes property classes specified in this standard for metric series steel hexagon prevailing-torque type
29、nuts which shall be designated by the numbers “8” and “12” as shown below. The designation number of the property class is equal to one tenth of the specified proof load stress in kilogrammes-force per square millimetre (SI units given for reference). This proof load stress corresponds to the minimu
30、m tensile strength of a bolt or screw with which the nut should be assembled so as to ensure the loading capacity of the bolted connection up to the minimum tensile strength of the bolt. NOTEThe designation system adopted is identical with that used for steel nuts in BS3692 and ISO/R898/II. 4 Materi
31、al and manufacture of steel nuts 4.1 Material. Nuts shall be made of carbon or alloy steel of a grade adequate for the nut to meet the mechanical and performance requirements of this standard. The prevailing-torque element of insert design nuts may be of a material other than steel. 4.2 Heat treatme
32、nt. Class8 nuts may be heat treated as necessary. Class 12 nuts shall be heat treated to meet the mechanical and performance requirements of this standard. 4.3 Finish. Nuts shall be finished plain (bare metal) or with a protective coating (electro-deposited plating or chemical conversion coating) as
33、 specified on the order. Plating shall be in accordance with BS3382 or BS1706. In order to comply with the stated performance requirements of this standard nuts shall, where necessary, be provided with a supplementary lubricant which shall be clean and dry to the touch. 5 Dimensional requirements 5.
34、1 Basic dimensions. Nuts shall be in accordance with the dimensions given in Table 2. The portion of the nut containing the prevailing-torque feature may have a special contour within the maximum permitted width across flats and thickness. The minimum width across flats shall not apply at a depresse
35、d portion of the nut at the prevailing-torque feature.

The threads of the nuts shall be to the ISO metric coarse pitch series in accordance with BS3643-2. The tolerance class shall be “6H”. The portion of the nut containing the prevailing-torque element
37、 need not be in accordance with this requirement. 5.3 Thread start. The nuts shall assemble a minimum of one full turn by hand on a basic GO thread plug gauge. The plug gauge shall be chamfered at 45 to at least the full depth of the thread. 5.4 Defects. The nuts shall be free from burrs, loose scal
38、e, sharp edges, and all other defects that might adversely affect their service. 6 Mechanical requirements 6.1 Proof load. The nuts shall withstand the proof stresses specified for the applicable class in Table 3 and Table 4 when tested as specified in8.1. 6.2 Hardness. The nuts shall have a hardnes
39、s not in excess of the hardness specified for the applicable class in Table 1 when tested as specified in8.2. Table 1 Mechanical properties of steel nuts 7 Performance requirements 7.1 Prevailing-torque. The prevailing-torque developed by the nuts during their first installation, or any subsequent i
40、nstallation, or removal shall not exceed the maximum first installation torque specified in Table 3 and Table 4 when tested as specified in8.3. In addition, the maximum and minimum prevailing-torques developed by nuts during their first and fifth removals shall not be less than the “highest” and “lo
41、west” reading removal torques specified in Table 3 and Table 4 when tested as specified in8.3. 7.2 Definition. The prevailing-torque developed by a nut is the torque necessary to rotate the nut on its mating externally threaded component, with the torque being measured while the nut is in motion, an
42、d with no axial load in the mating component. 8 Test methods 8.1 Proof load test. The test sample nut shall be assembled on a test bolt (see8.1.1) or on a hardened mandrel (see8.1.2) with a minimum of three full threads projecting through the nut. For referee test purposes, the hardened mandrel shal
43、l be used. The maximum torque occurring during the assembly of the nut on the test bolt or mandrel shall be recorded. A tensile load equal to the specified proof load for the nut, as given in Table 3 and Table 4, shall be applied through the test bolt or mandrel against the nut bearing surface in an
44、 axial direction. The nut shall resist this load without thread stripping or rupture. The torque necessary to remove the nut from the test bolt or mandrel shall not exceed the maximum torque occurring during assembly. 8.1.1 Test bolt. The bolt used for proof load testing a nut shall have threads in
45、accordance with BS3643-2, tolerance class “6g”. The test bolt shall have a yield strength in excess of the specified proof load of the nut being tested.
