1 INTRODUCTION 1.1 Scope This Standard covers the complete general, dimen- sional, mechanical, and performance data for carbon steel, inchseries nyloninsertlocknuts ofpropertygrades NE2, NE5, and NE8 designated as American National Standard. The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard is not intended to imply that all of the locknut sizes in conjunction with the various options described herein are stock items. Consumers should consult with suppli- ers concerning lists of stock production nylon insert locknuts. 1.2 Comparison to ISO Standards There is no ISO inch standard for these products at this time. 2 REFERENCE STANDARDS The following is a list of publications referenced in this Standard. Unless otherwise specified, the reference standard(s) shall be the most recent issue at the time of order placement.

All dimensions apply before plating or coating is specified. When plating or coating is specified, the finished product dimensions shall be agreed upon between the supplier and purchaser. 5 NUT DESIGNS AND PROPERTY GRADES This Standard covers top insert, two-piece construc- tion nuts that derive their prevailing-torque characteris- tics from an insert, usually a full ring of nonmetallic material, located and retained in the nut at its top sur- face. These are designated as property grade NE2, NE5, and NE8 meeting the mechanical and performance requirements of Table 2 or 3. 6 WIDTH ACROSS FLATS The width across flats shall be the distance measured perpendicular to the axis of the nut between two oppo- site wrenching flats.
12.1.1 TestBolt. The boltused forproofload testing a nut shall have threads conforming to Class 2A toler- ances as specified in ASME B1.1. The test bolt shall have a yield strength in excess of the specified proof load of the nut being tested. 12.1.2 Hardened Mandrel. The hardened mandrel used for proof load testing a nut shall have threads conforming to Class 3A tolerances as specified in ASME B1.1, except that the major diameter shall be the minimum major diameter with a plus tolerance of 0.002 in. The mandrel shall be heat treated to a hardness of Rockwell C45 to C50. 12.2 Hardness Test The Rockwell hardness of a sample nut shall be deter- mined on the top face of the nut. The top surface of the nut shall be prepared by grinding and removing sufficient material from the top to eliminate the effects of plating, coating, or other surface conditions. Material removal shall also be such as to provide a flat area large enough to allow a hardness test to be made midway between the hex corner and the major diameter of the thread. The bearing surface of the nut shall be prepared parallel to the test surface with removal of plating or coating. Further preparation of the test specimen and the method of performing the test shall conform to ASTM E 18. For referee purposes, nut hardness shall be taken on a longitudinal sectionthrough the nutaxis withreadings taken as close as possible to the nominal major diameter of the nut thread.
