NATIONAL FOREWORD This Indian Standard ( Part 8 ) ( Third Revision ) which is identical with ISO 2320:1997 Prevailing torque type steel hexagon nuts Mechanical and performance properties issued by the International Organization for Standardization ( ISO ) was adopted by the Bureau of Indian Standards on the recommendation of the Bolts, Nuts and Fasteners Accessories Sectional Committee and approval of the Basic and Production Engineering Division Council. This standard was originally published in 1961 and subsequently revised in 1967 and 1992. The last Consequent upon the revision of ISO 2320:1983 the revision was in conformity with ISO 2320:1993. Committee decided to take up the revision of this standard aligning with ISO 2320:1997 by adoption under dual numbering system. The text of ISO Standard has been approved as suitable for publication as Indian Standard without deviations. Certain terminology and conventions are, however, not identical to those used in Indian Standards. Attention is drawn especially to the following: a) Wherever the words International read as Indian Standard. Standard appear referring to this standard, they should be

b)

Comma ( , ) has been used as a decimal marker while in Indian Standards, the current practice is to use a point ( . ) as the decimal marker,

In this adopted standard, reference appears to certain International Standards for which Indian Standards also exist. The corresponding Indian Standards which are to be substituted in their place are listed below along with their degree of equivalence for the editions indicated: International Standard Corresponding Indian Standard

scope

This International Standard specifies the mechanical and performance properties for prevailing torque type steel hexagon nuts (including those with flange) when tested over an ambient temperature range of 10 C to 35 C. Properties will vary at higher and lower temperature. It applies to prevailing torque type nuts with nominal thread diameters up to and including 39 mm;
of triangular ISO thread according to ISO 68; combinations according to ISO 261;

- with diameter/pitch

- with thread tolerances

6H according to ISO 965-2;

- with specific mechanical requirements;

- with dimensions Standard; as specified in product standards provided they make reference to this International

- within the temperature within the temperature

corrosion resistance;
- performance outside the above specified temperature ranges.

Prevailing torque performance decreases with increasing re-use. The nut user should consider the implications of decreased performance prior to re-use. NOTE Information on torque/clamping force performance requirements and testing are given in the annex C. These functional requirements and the accompanying test procedure are still under discussion and cannot be specified mandatorily for the time being.

The prevailing torque element of insert-type nuts may be made of a material other than steel. It is recommended that users and manufacturers consider the maximum limits for sulphur, manganese, boron and other intentionally added elements which may result in component failure, when in excessive amounts.

The performance of nuts which are supplied with a protective coating and/or lubricant shall not deteriorate when the nuts are stored indoors for a period of six months. The storage temperature shall be within the range 5 c to +40c. NOTE In the case where nuts are given a protective coating or cleaning following delivery to the user, the nut manufacturer shall not be held responsible for failure of the nut to meet dimensional, mechanical or performance properties traceable to the plating or coating.

NOTE Minimum hardness is mandatorv ., onlv for heat-treated nuts and nuts too Iarae to be Droof-load tested. For all other nuts, minimum hardness is not mandatorv but is l.xo~ided for guidance only. For nuts which are not quenched and tempered, and which satisfy tie proof ioad test, minimum hardness shall not be cause for rejection. 1) 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 686-1 as this is the maximum bolt hardness in the thread engagement area 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.

8 Test methods 8.1 Proof load test

The nut to be tested shall be assembled on a test bolt (8.1.1) or on a hardened mandrel (8.1.2). The maximum prevailing torque to assemble the nut through 360 rotation shall be recorded after the first full thread, has passed through the prevailing torque feature and assembly continues until three full threads protrude through the nut. For referee test purposes, a hardened mandrel shall be used for non-metallic insert nuts and a test bolt shall be used for all-metal nuts. The maximum prevailing torque occurring during the assembly of the nut on the test bolt or mandrel shall be recorded after the first full form thread has passed through the prevailing torque feature. A load equal to the specified proof load for the nut, as given in tables 6 and 7, shall be applied through the test bolt or mandrel against the nut bearing surface in an axial direction and shall be held for 15s. The nut shall resist this load without thread stripping or rupture. The proof load test is decisive. The maximum prevailing torque occurring during disassembly of the nut after a half-turn to full disengagement measured with the nut in motion shall not exceed the recorded maximum prevailing torque during assembly. 8.1.1 Test bolt for proof load test The bolt used for proof load testing nuts shall be as specified in 8.3.4 but shall have a proof load in excess of the proof load of the nut to be tested. 8.1.2 Hardened mandrel for proof load test of the major diameter

The mandrel used shall be threaded to tolerance class 5h6g, except that the tolerance shall be in the last quarter of the 6g range on the minimum material side. The hardness for the test mandrel shall be 45 HRC minimum.

A test bolt (8.3.4) shall be inserted in the clamping force measuring device, a test washer (8.3.5] placed on the bolt and the sample nut then assembled on the bolt. Nut tightening may be either manually with a torque wrench or with an equivalent torque-measuring device (8.3.2]. The nut shall be advanced on the bolt until a minimum of two full bolt threads protrude through the nut. The maximum torque occurring while the nut is behg advanced through the next 360 of nut rotation shall be measured. For the nut to be acceptable, this torque shall not exceed the first installation prevailing torque value as specified for the applicable nut in tables 8 and 9. Tightening shall be continued until the nut is seated against the test washer. The length of the test bolt shall be such that seating of the nut occurs when a length equivalent to four to seven thread pitches of the test bolt protrudes through the top of the nut, measured from the end of the bolt. The nut shall then be tightened until a clamping force, as specified in tables 8 and 9, is achieved, The test washer shall be prevented from turning during nut tightening. The nut shall then be slackened by the application of reverse torque until the clamping force in the bolt has been reduced to zero. The maximum torque occurring while the nut is being slackened through the next 360 of rotation shall be measured. For the nut to be acceptable, this torque shall be not less than the first removal prevailing torque value specified for the applicable nut in tables 8 and 9. After the first removal prevailing torque has been measured, torque element is disengaged from the bolt thread. The nut advanced On each test does the nut shall be slackened until the prevaling

During the fifth removal, the maximum torque occurring while the nut is being slackened through the first 360 of rotation shall be measured. For the nut to be acceptable, this torque shall be not less than the fifth removal prevailing torque value as specified in tablas 8 and 9. In addition, at no time during these four additional assemblies and removals shall the torque exceed the maximum first assembly prevailing torque value as specified in tables 8 and 9.
