Mechanical properties of fasteners: nuts with specified proof load values – coarse thread

Mechanical Properties

a– NQT = not quenched or tempered.
b– QT = quenched and tempered.
c -The maximum bolt hardness of property classes 5.6 and 5.8 will be changed to be 220 HV in the next revision of ISO 896-1. This is the maximum bolt hardness in the thread engagement areas whereas only the thread end or the head may have a maximum hardness of 250 HV. Therefore the values of stress under proof load are based on a maximum bolt hardness of 220 HV.

Note: Minimum hardness is mandatory only for heat-treated nuts and nuts too large to be proof-load tested. For all other nuts, minimum hardness is not mandatory but is provided for guidance only.

For nuts which are not hardened and tempered, and which satisfy the proof-load test, minimum hardness shall not be cause for rejection.
