Overview

ISO 7042:2012 defines requirements for prevailing torque type all‑metal hexagon high nuts (self‑locking, all‑metal) with metric threads from M5 to M36. It covers property classes 5, 8, 10 and 12 and specifies product grade A for threads up to and including M16 and grade B for threads above M16. The standard ensures consistent dimensions, mechanical characteristics and acceptance rules for these prevailing‑torque hexagon high nuts used in engineered assemblies.

Key topics and technical requirements

  • Thread range and sizing: Threads M5 … M36; most nut dimensions follow ISO 4033 except specific dimensions m and h.
  • Property classes: Defined mechanical strength classes - 5, 8, 10, 12 - for specifying performance of the nuts.
  • Product grade: Grade A for D ≤ M16 and grade B for D > M16 (tolerance and dimensional grading per ISO 4759-1).
  • Thread tolerance: Internal thread tolerance 6H; references to ISO 261 / ISO 724 / ISO 965-2 for metric thread geometry.
  • Material and surface integrity: Base material is steel; surface defect limits per ISO 6157‑2.
  • Coatings and finishes: Electrolytic coatings (ISO 4042), non‑electrolytic zinc flake (ISO 10683) and hot-dip galvanizing (ISO 10684) referenced for protective finishes - additional finishes by agreement.
  • Mechanical/performance references: Mechanical characteristics and performance tied to ISO 898‑2 and ISO 2320 (prevailing torque/self‑locking behavior).
  • Acceptance and inspection: Reception control and sampling per ISO 3269.
  • Design detail: The prevailing‑torque locking element shape is left to manufacturer discretion; nut designation example: “Écrou hexagonal haut autofreiné ISO 7042 - M12 - 8”.

Applications and who uses this standard

ISO 7042 is used when specifying, manufacturing, testing and procuring prevailing‑torque all‑metal hexagon high nuts for reliable, reusable self‑locking fasteners in:

  • Mechanical and structural assemblies
  • OEM product design and engineering
  • Fastener manufacturers and suppliers
  • Quality control, inspection and procurement teams

Specifying ISO 7042 nuts helps ensure interchangeability, consistent locking performance, and compatibility with metric threaded components.

Related standards

  • ISO 4033 (hexagon high nut dimensions)
  • ISO 261, ISO 724, ISO 965‑2 (metric threads)
  • ISO 898‑2, ISO 2320 (mechanical and performance)
  • ISO 4042, ISO 10683, ISO 10684 (coatings)
  • ISO 4759‑1 (tolerances, grades)
  • ISO 6157‑2 (surface defects)
  • ISO 3269 (reception inspection)

Foreword
ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.
International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.
The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.
ISO 7042 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 12, Fasteners with
metric internal thread.
This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7042:1997), of which it constitutes a minor revision.

Avant-propos
L’ISO (Organisation internationale de normalisation) est une fédération mondiale d’organismes nationaux de
normalisation (comités membres de l’ISO). L’élaboration des Normes internationales est en général confiée aux
comités techniques de l’ISO. Chaque comité membre intéressé par une étude a le droit de faire partie du comité
technique créé à cet effet. Les organisations internationales, gouvernementales et non gouvernementales,
en liaison avec l’ISO participent également aux travaux. L’ISO collabore étroitement avec la Commission
électrotechnique internationale (CEI) en ce qui concerne la normalisation électrotechnique.
Les Normes internationales sont rédigées conformément aux règles données dans les Directives ISO/CEI, Partie 2.
La tâche principale des comités techniques est d’élaborer les Normes internationales. Les projets de Normes
internationales adoptés par les comités techniques sont soumis aux comités membres pour vote. Leur publication
comme Normes internationales requiert l’approbation de 75 % au moins des comités membres votants.
L’attention est appelée sur le fait que certains des éléments du présent document peuvent faire l’objet de droits
de propriété intellectuelle ou de droits analogues. L’ISO ne saurait être tenue pour responsable de ne pas avoir
identifié de tels droits de propriété et averti de leur existence.
L’ISO 7042 a été élaborée par le comité technique ISO/TC 2, Éléments de fixation, sous-comité SC 12, Éléments
de fixation à filetage métrique intérieur.
Cette troisième édition annule et remplace la deuxième édition (ISO 7042:1997), qui a fait l’objet d’une
révision mineure.
