ASTM F467M-06a(2012)

Standard Specification for Nonferrous Nuts for General Use (Metric)

ABSTRACT
This specification covers the requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous nuts in nominal thread diameters M6 to M36 inclusive in a number of alloys in common use and intended for general service applications. Materials shall be tested and shall conform to the chemical composition, hardness, proof stress, proof load, and tensile stress requirements.
SIGNIFICANCE AND USE
For purposes of determining compliance with the specified limits for requirements of the properties listed in this specification, an observed value or calculated value shall be rounded in accordance with Practice E29.
SCOPE
1.1 This specification covers the requirements for commercial wrought nonferrous nuts in nominal thread diameters M6 to M36 inclusive in a number of alloys in common use and intended for general service applications.  
1.2 Applicable bolts, cap screws, and studs for use with nuts covered by this specification are covered by Specification F468M.  
1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as standard. No other units of measurement are included in this standard.
Note 1—This specification is the metric companion of Specification F467.
