ISO 898-6 Specification

Scope

This part of ISO 898 specifies the mechanical properties of nuts with specified proof load values when tested at an ambient temperature range of + 10 °C to + 35 °C. Mechanical and physical properties will vary with respect to temperature and property class. Products conforming to the requirements of this part of ISO 898 are evaluated only at the ambient temperature range and may not retain the specified physical properties at higher and lower temperatures. At temperatures higher or lower than the ambient temperature range, a significant change in properties may occur. When fasteners are to be used above or below the ambient temperature range, it is the responsibility of the user to ensure that the mechanical and physical properties are suitable for his particular service conditions.

Note:

a. Nuts of this property class may be manufactured from free-cutting steel unless otherwise agreed between the purchaser and the manufacturer. In such cases, the following maximum sulfur, phosphorus and lead contents are permissible: sulfur 0,34 %; phosphorus 0,11 %; lead 0,35 %.
b. Alloying elements may be added, if necessary, to develop the mechanical properties of the nuts.

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.
a. NQT = Not quenched and tempered.
b. QT = Quenched and tempered.
c. Nuts with nominal thread diameters d > 16 mm may be quenched and tempered at the discretion of the manufacturer.
