scope:

This standard specifies the mechanical properties of nuts with specified proof load values when tested at room temperature (see ISO 1). Properties will vary at higher and lower temperature. It applies to nuts - with nominal thread diameters up to and including 39 mm; - of triangular ISO thread and with diameters and pitches according to ISO 68 and ISO 262 (corase thread); - with diameter/pitch combinations according to ISO 261 (coarse thread); - with thread tolerances 6H according to ISO 965-1 and ISO 695-2; - with specific mechanical requirements; - with widths acros flats as specified in ISO 272 or equivalent; - with nominal heights greater than or equal to 0,5 D - made of carbon steel or low alloy steel. It does not apply to nuts requiring special properties such as - locking abilities (see ISO 2320) - weldeability; - corrosion resistance (see ISO 3506) - ability to withstand temperatures above +300°C or below -50°C.
