EXPLANATORY

NOTE

Consequent to the decision to revise IS : 1367-1967 Technical supply conditions for threaded steel fasteners due to the work at international level, separate parts have been formulated for The different parts in the revision are listed in Part I technical and drafting reasons alike. introduction and general information, The requirements for nuts, which are not amenable to proof loading either due to their geometry or application, are covered in this standard. Although work is yet to be initiated at the international level on nuts without specified proof loads, the need for a national standard on the subject has been felt in view of a large number of Such products cannot be classified nut-like threaded and formed products which are in use. according to definite test loads or loading capacities, but only according to their hardness values. For this reason the minimum hardness has been ado>;ed as Ihe characteristic feature. Maximum values have also been specified to guard against a drop in the transverse toughness due to excessive hardness. The property classes covered in this standard are applicable for nuts with one or more of the following characteristics: a) With nominal heights less than 05 d; b) With lesser across flats than those specified in IS : 9519-1980 Dimensions for width across flats for hexagon head bolts and nuts ; c) With threads other than triangular IS0 metric threads; do) With nominal thread sizes abovl: M39; and e ) With special configuration. The property class designation system based on hardness values is applicable to the type of products covered in the following Indian Standards:

IS : 3468-1975 Specification for pipe nuts IS : 5368-1969 Specification for thin slotted and castle nuts ( dia range 6 to 52 mm ) IS: 6731-1972 Specification for locknuts, narrow series and lockwashers with straight inner tab for rolling bearings (first revision ) IS : 8856-1978 Specification for hexagon weld nuts While the above Indian Standards presently specify property class 4, 6, 8, etc, the same would be modified in their revisions, In the preparation of the standard, assistance has been derived from DIN 267 sheet 4-1971 Schrauben, Mutten Und ahuliche Gewinde - und Formterte ( Bolts, screws, nuts and similar threaded and formed ,parts - technical supply conditions of delivery - propert! classes and test methods for nuts of unalloyed qr low alloy steels ) issued by Deutsches lnstitut fur Normung ( DIN ).
