Finished Hexagon Bolts and Nuts andcontaining numerous editorial changes was submitted for letter ballot in September 1951. Following approval by the B18 committee and
the sponsors, the proposal was presented to the American Standards Association for approval and designation as an American Standard. This was granted on March 24, 1952.
It being recognizedthat the standard was in need of additional refinements, Subcommittee 2 began workimmediately to eliminate these shortcomings. A proposed revision removing inconsistencies with respect
to fillets, improving the length tolerances on heavy hexagon
bolts, and incorporating numerous other corrections and clarifications of an editorial nature, resulted. The most noteworthy editorial change was a decision to combine the coverage
for hexagon cap screws and square head set screwsfrom the B18.2 standard with the coverage for slotted head cap screws and slotted headless set screwsfrom theB18.6 standard for
publication in a separate document. Therequirements for the unified hexagon cap screws
and finished hexagon bolts being identical in the overlapping sizes, the datawould now be
available in two publications. Following approvals by the B18 Committee and sponsor organizations, the proposal was submitted to theAmerican Standards Association and declared an American Standard on February 2, 1955.
A revision of this document comprised of numerous editorial corrections andinclusion
of an appendix for grade markings was duly approved and designated an American Standard on April 18, 1960.
At a meeting in February 1960, Subcommittee 2 approved a recommendationto reduce
the head heights for heavy, heavy semi-finished, and heavy finished hexagon bolts which
was subsequently approved by letter ballot of the B18 Committee on August 16, 1960. A
proposed standard for heavy hexagon structural bolts submitted and accepted by Subcommittee 2 at its October 17, 1960meeting was approved by letter ballot of the B18 Committee
on May 9, 1961, To meet the urgent needs of the steel construction industryit was considered necessary to publish the standard for the structural bolts
immediately. Consequently,
Appendix IV to ASA B18.2-1960 containing coverage for the revised heavy hexagon bolts
and the new heavy hexagon structural bolts was released in 1962.
In October of. 1961, Subcommittee 2 appointed a subgroup to review all product standards for square and hexagon bolts, screws, and nuts, and to recommend simplifications
which would becompatible with technical, production, and distribution advances that had
occurred over the prior several years. The subgroup presented its recommendations at a
meeting of Subcommittee 2 in October of 1962. It being agreed that theinternally and externally threaded products should be published in separate documents as
suggested, draft proposals for each were completed.
The proposed revision for square andhex nuts incorporated thefollowing subgroup recommendations: discontinuation of regular semi-finished nuts; elimination of regular hexagon and heavy hexagon nuts in sizes !4 in. through 1 in.; elimination of finished hexagon
nuts in sizes larger than 1 /z in.; elimination of the washer face semi-finished style on finished seriesnuts in sizes % in. andsmaller and heavy seriesnuts insizes 7/16 in. and smaller;
removal of machine screw nuts (these nuts now contained in B18.6.3); and adoption of an
abbreviated product nomenclature. Letter ballot of this proposal to theB18 Committee resulted in approval. Following acceptance by the sponsor organizations therevision wassubmitted to the American Standards Association and designated ASA B1 8.2.2 on September
8, 1965.
Subcommittee 2 continued to further develop refinements initiated by the simplification
subgroup and study changes suggested by consumer interests. This workculminated in Subcommittee acceptance of a 1970 proposal incorporating,in addition to numerous editorial
changes, revisions to therequirements on angularityof bearing face and countersink diameters for thevarious hex nuts and heavy hex nuts, andinclusion of an appendix covering the
gaging of slots in slotted nuts. The proposed revision, after approvalby letter ballot of the
B18 Committee in March 1970, was subsequently approved by the sponsors andsubmitted

TABLE 8 (CONT'D)
GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Unification. Bold type indicates products unified dimensionally
with British andCanadian standards.
(b) Smaller Sizes. For sizes '/4 in. through 1 in., the nuts specified inTable 9 are recommended.
(c) Tops of Nuts. Tops of nuts be
shall
flat and chamfered. Diameter of the chamfer circle
shall be equal to the maximum widthacross flats within a tolerance of 15%. The
length of chamfer at
hex corners shallbe from 5% t o 15% of thebasic thread diameter. The surface of chamfer maybe slightly convex or rounded.
(dl Bearing Surface. Bearing surface shall be flat and perpendicular to the axis of the
threaded hole withina tolerance of 2 deg.
(e) True Positionof Tapped Hole. The axis of tapped hole shall
be locatedat true position
to the axis of nut body within
a tolerance zone having a diameter equivawith respect
lent to 4% of the maximum width across flats
1'hfor
in. nominal size nuts or smaller
and 6% of the maximum width across flats for larger
nuts than 1'h in., regardless of
feature size.
(f) Threads. Threads shall be unified coarse thread series (UNC series), Class 28.
(9) Material. Unless otherwise specified, chemical and mechanical properties of steel
nuts shall conform with
Grade A of ASTM A 563, Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts. Nuts
of other materials such
as corrosion resistant (stainlessrsteel,brass, bronze, and aluminum alloys shall have propertiesas agreed upon between the manufacturer and
purchaser. The properties for nuts
several
of grades of corrosion resistant steel alloys
are covered in ASTM F 594, and of several nonferrous materials in ASTMF 467.
NOTES:
(1) Width Across Flats. Maximum widthacross flats shall not be exceeded(see excep25% and 75%
tion inGeneral Data). No
transverse section through the nut between
of the actual nut thickness
as measured from the bearing surface shall
be less than
the minimum widthacross flats. For milled-from-bar nuts, see statement in General
Data pertaining to the nominalbar size t o be used.
(2) Corner Fill. A rounding or lack of fill at junction of hex corners with chamferbe
shall
permissible provided the width
across corners is within specified limits at and beyond
a distance equalt o 17.5% of the basic thread diameter from the chamferedface.

thread products is limited t o sizes l in. and under.
(b) True Positionof Tapped Hole. The axisof tappedhole shall be located
at true position
with respect to the axis
of
nut body
withina tolerance zone having a diameter equivaacross flats for1 in. nominal size nuts or smaller,
lent t o 4% of the maximum width
and 6% of the maximumwidth across flats for nutslarger than 1h in., regardless of
feature size.
(c) Countersink. Tappedhole shall be countersunk on thebearing faceor faces. Themaximum countersink diameter shall be the thread basic (nominal) major diameter plus
0.030 in. for 3/s in. nominal size nuts and smaller, and 1.OB times the basic major
diameter for nutslarger than 3/8 in. No part of thethreaded portion shall projectbeyond the bearing surface.
(dl Threads. Threads shall be unified coarse, fine, or B thread series (UNC, UNF or 8 UN
series), Class 28. Unless otherwise specified, coarse thread series shall be furnished.
(e) Material. Unless otherwise specified, chemical and mechanical properties of steel
nuts shall conform with Grade A of ASTM A 563, Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts; or
Grade 2 of SAE J995, Mechanical and Material Requirements for Steel Nuts. Nuts of
other materialssuch as corrosion resistant (stainless)steel, brass, bronze, and aluminum alloysshall have properties as agreed upon between the manufacturer
and purchaser. The properties for nutsseveral

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) Unification. Boldtype indicates products unified
dimensionally with British and Canadian standards. Unification of fine thread products is limited
t o sizes l in. and under.
(b) True Position of Tapped Hole. The axis of tapped hole
shall be located at true position
with respect t o t h axis
e o f nut body within a tolerance zone having a diameter equivaacross flats for1Ih in. nominal size nuts or smaller,
lent t o 4% of the maximum width
and 6% of the maximum width
across flats for nutslarger than 1'h in., regardless of
feature size.
(c) Countersink. Tapped hole shall be countersunk on thebearing face. The maximum
countersink diameter shall the
be threadbasic (nominal) major diameter plus 0.030 in.
for 3/8 in. nominal size nuts and smaller, and 1 .O8 times thebasic major diameterfor
nuts larger than 3/a in. No part of the
threaded portion shall project beyond the
bearing
surface.
(d) Threads. Threads shall be unified coarse, fine, or 8 thread series (UNC, UNF or 8 UN
series), Class 2B. Unless otherwise specified, coarsethread series shall be furnished.
(e) Material. Unless otherwise specified, chemical and mechanical properties of steel
nuts shall conform with Grade A of ASTM A 563, Carbon and Alloy Steel Nuts; or
Grade 2 of SAE J995, Mechanical and Material Requirementsfor Steel Nuts. Nuts of
other materials suchas corrosion resistant (stainless)steel, brass, bronze, and aluminum alloys shall have propertiesas agreed upon between the manufacturer
and purchaser. The properties fornuts ofseveral gradesof corrosionresistant steel alloys are
covered in ASTM F 594, and of several nonferrous materials in ASTMF 467.
NOTES:
( 1 1 Width Across Flats. Maximum width across flats shall not beexceeded (see exception in General Data). No transverse section through the
nut between 25%and 7 5 %
of the actualnut thickness as measured from thebearing surface shall be less than
the minimum widthacross flats. For milled-from-bar nuts, see statement in General
Data pertaining to the nominalbar size t o be used.
(2)Corner Fill. A rounding or lack of fill at junction ofhex corners with chamfer shall be
--``-`-`,,`,,`,`,,`---
at beyond
permissible provided the width
across cornersis within specified limits and
a distance equal to 17.5% of thebasic thread diameter from the chamferedfaces.
(3) Slots. Slots shallbe normal t o nut flats. Contour of bottom of slots
shall beat manufacturer's option. Requirements for gaging slots are in Appendix I.
(4) Tops and Bearing Surfaces of Nuts. Nuts in sizes '/r6 in. nominal size and smaller shall
be double chamfered. Larger size nuts shall be double chamfered or have washer
faced bearing surface and chamfered top.
The diameter of chamfer circle on double chamfered nutsand diameter of washer
face shall be
within the limits of the maximum
width across flats and 95% of the minimum width across flats.
The top ofwasher faced nutsshall be flatand the diameter of chamfercircle shall
be equal to themaximum widthacross flats withina tolerance of 15%. The length
5% of the basic thread
diameter. The
of chamfer at hex corners shallbe from 5% 1to
surface of chamfer may be slightly convex or rounded.
Bearing surface shall be flat and perpendicular to the axis of the threaded hole
within the FIM limits specified for the
respective strength level.
