Standard Prevailing-Torque Metric Hex Nuts Size Data Table
The following describs the three basic designs for prevailing- torque type nuts:
1) All-metalic, one-piece construction nuts which derive their prevailing-torque characteristics from controlled distortion of the nut thread and/or body.
2) Metal nuts which derive their prevailing-torque characteristics from addition or fusion of a nonmetallic insert, plug. or patch in their threads.
3) Top insert, two-piece construction nuts which derive their prevailing-torque characteristics from an insert, usually a full ring of non-metallic material, located and retained in the nut at its top surface.
