ISO 3506-2: Mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant stainless steel nuts

← Back to all standards

ISO 3506-2 is the standard for the mechanical properties of corrosion-resistant stainless steel nuts. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 3506-2 Covers

It defines the property grades and proof-load requirements for stainless internally threaded fasteners.

How the Test Is Run

Stainless nuts are proof loaded on a hardened mandrel or test bolt using suitable fixtures, and the proof performance is checked against the grade.

Why It Matters

Nut proof-load verification ensures stainless nuts carry rated load in corrosive service; hardened mandrels and high-force fixtures are essential.
