scope:

This International Standard specifies the geometry of hexagon nuts with nominal thread diameter from 8 mm up to and including 64 mm and the mechanical properties of hexagon regular nuts (style 1) with metric fine pitch thread in product grade A for nominal thread diameters 8 mm ≤ D ≤ 16 mm and in product grade B for nominal diameters 16 mm < D ≤ 39 mm.

If, in special cases, specifications other than those listed in this International Standard are required, they can be selected from existing International Standards, for example ISO 724, ISO 898-2, ISO 965-1, ISO 3506-2 and ISO 4759-1.

NOTE As there is an insufficient nut height due to the fine pitch thread, there is a higher probability of nut thread stripping. Hence, high nuts (style 2) according to ISO 8674 are preferably used.
