General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre- spondence should be addressed to: Secretary, B18 Standards Committee The American Society of Mechanical Engineers Three Park Avenue New York, NY 10016-5990 Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically. The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation. Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
1 SCOPE This Standard covers the general, dimensional, and mechanical performance requirements for low strength carbon steel, case hardened, regular and large serrated flange locknuts (inch series), recognized as American National Standard. 2 COMPARISON TO ISO STANDARDS There is no inch series ISO standard for these products at this time. 3 TERMINOLOGY For definitions of terms relating to fasteners or component features used in this Standard, refer to ASME B18.12. 4 REFERENCE STANDARDS The following is a list of publications referenced in this Standard.

All dimensions in this Standard are in inches and apply before plating or coating is specified. When a plating or coating is specified, the finished product dimensions shall be agreed upon between the supplier and purchaser. (b) Symbols specifying geometric characteristics are in accordance with ASME Y14.5M. 6 SERRATIONS The configuration of the serrations shall be at the discretion of the manufacturer, provided the perform- ance requirements as specified in para. 12.2 are met. 7 TOPS OF NUTS Tops of nuts shall be flat and chamfered. The length of chamfer at hex corners shall be from 5% to 15% of the basic thread size. The surface may be slightly convex or rounded. 8 TRUE POSITION OF HEXAGON TO TAPPED HOLE At maximum material condition (MMC), the axis of the hexagon shall be located attrue position with respect to the axis ofthe thread pitch diameterwithina tolerance zone having a diameter equivalent to 4% of the maxi- mum width across flats. 9 COUNTERSINK Tapped hole shall be countersunk on the bearing face and may be countersunk on the top.
