Overview

SIST EN 1661:2001 is the CEN European Standard that defines specifications for hexagon nuts with flange (based on ISO/DIS 4161:1996, modified). The standard covers nuts with threads from M5 to M20 inclusive, addressing different product grades and property classes to support consistent manufacturing, selection and use across industries.

Key elements in the scope include:

  • Threads: M5–M20 (inclusive)
  • Product grades: Grade A threads up to and including M16; Grade B threads above M16
  • Property classes: 8, 10, 12 and A2-70
  • Organization: published under the authority of CEN and aligned with ISO/DIS 4161:1996 (modified)

This standard supports consistent fastener selection and interchangeability, reducing risk in bolted assemblies and simplifying procurement across suppliers.

Key Topics

  • Dimensions and thread range: Defines the applicable thread sizes (M5–M20) and product grade breakpoints.
  • Product grade distinction: Clarifies which product grade applies depending on thread size (A up to M16; B above M16).
  • Property classes covered: Includes common strength classes (8, 10, 12) and the A2-70 designation for stainless variants.
  • Conformance and compatibility: Establishes a harmonized specification to ensure nuts from different manufacturers are compatible in assemblies.

Applications

SIST EN 1661:2001 is directly relevant for procurement specialists, designers and manufacturers dealing with bolted joints in:

  • Machinery and equipment - standardized nuts for reliable assembly and maintenance
  • Automotive and transport - parts that require consistent mechanical behaviour
  • Construction and structural fastening - where interchangeability and load capacity are important
  • General industrial manufacturing - stock management and quality control for fasteners

Practical benefits include simplified sourcing, improved interchangeability of parts, and clearer specification of mechanical and material options when selecting hexagon nuts with flange.

Related Standards

  • ISO/DIS 4161:1996 (modified) - the basis for SIST EN 1661:2001
  • Other EN and ISO fastener standards that address mechanical properties, dimensions and materials for bolts, nuts and screws

For engineers and procurement teams, SIST EN 1661:2001 provides a concise specification framework to select the correct hexagon nut with flange for thread sizes M5–M20 and to ensure compatibility with common property classes and product grades.
