ISO 898-2 (Nuts) — Mechanical & Physical Properties by Property Class

← Back to all standards

ISO 898-2 is the standard for the mechanical properties of nuts with specified property classes, made of carbon steel and alloy steel. To match this to your program, talk with our team.

What ISO 898-2 Covers

It defines the proof-load and related requirements for steel nuts, the internally threaded companion to the bolt and screw part.

How the Test Is Run

Nuts are proof loaded on a hardened mandrel or test bolt using suitable fixtures, and the proof performance is checked against the property class.

Why It Matters

Nut proof-load verification ensures the nut carries its rated load without stripping; hardened mandrels and high-force fixtures are essential.
