ISO 10511:2025

This document specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque hexagon thin nuts (with non-metallic insert), in steel and stainless steel, with metric coarse pitch thread M3 to M39, and with product grades A and B. NOTE These nuts are designed with an overall height equal to mmin (as specified in ISO 898-2 and ISO 4035 for style 0) plus the prevailing torque feature. The height of the prevailing torque feature (hmax – mmin) for the non-metallic insert is identical for regular, high and thin nuts for a given diameter. Nuts with sizes D < M5 and design principles in accordance with style 0 are specified in Annex A. WARNING — Thin nuts (style 0) have a reduced loadability compared to regular or high nuts, they are not designed to provide resistance to thread stripping (see ISO 898-2). If in certain cases other specifications are requested, stainless steel grades and property classes can be selected from ISO 3506-2.
