Standard Metric Hex Jam Nuts and Heavy Hex Nuts

Metric nuts are designated as following: preferably in the sequence shown: product name, nominal diameter and thread pitch, steel property class or material identification, and protective coating, if required. (Note: It is common practice in ISO Standards to omit thread pitch from the product designation when the nut threads are the metric coarse thread series, e.g., M10 stands for M10 × 1.5).

Example: Hex nut, style 1, M10 × 1.5, ASTM A563M class 10, zinc plated
Heavy hex nut, M20 × 2.5, silicon bronze, ASTM F467, grade 651
Slotted hex nut, M20, ASTM A563M class 10.
