Overview

EN ISO 2320:2015 - Fasteners: Prevailing torque steel nuts - Functional properties (ISO 2320:2015) specifies the functional performance and combined test method for prevailing-torque steel nuts. The standard defines how to determine prevailing torque and torque/clamp-force properties under controlled laboratory conditions (ambient +10 °C to +35 °C) and sets requirements for both all‑metal and non‑metallic insert prevailing torque nuts.

Key Topics

• Scope and applicability
  • Applies to prevailing torque all‑metal and non‑metallic‑insert type nuts with triangular ISO threads (ISO 68‑1).
  • Thread size ranges: coarse pitch M5 to M39; fine pitch M8×1 to M39×3.
  • Thread tolerances per ISO 965‑2; mechanical properties per ISO 898‑2.
• Functional properties
  • Defines prevailing-on torque (torque while nut is in motion, no clamp force) and prevailing-off torque (torque when backing off during the rotation that removes clamp force).
  • Prevailing-on must not exceed specified values; prevailing-off must exceed specified values (see standard Tables 1–7).
  • Prevailing torque values are laboratory‑based; actual in-service torques can vary.
• Test methods
  • Combined test procedure to measure prevailing torque and torque/clamp force simultaneously (see Clause 9).
  • Includes a proof load test and requirements for test fixtures, test bolts and procedure.
  • Delivery inspection: first installation/removal test; initial type testing or disputes: 5 removal test.
• Environmental and performance notes
  • Standard test ambient: +10 °C to +35 °C; Annex A warns temperature outside this range influences functional properties.
  • Service temperature notes: all‑metal nuts typically used −50 °C to +150 °C; non‑metallic insert nuts −50 °C to +120 °C.
  • Reuse reduces prevailing torque performance - users must consider consequences before reuse.

Applications

EN ISO 2320 is used by organizations that design, produce, test or procure fasteners where a self‑locking feature is required:

• Fastener manufacturers specifying design and quality control for prevailing‑torque nuts.
• Test laboratories performing torque/clamp‑force and prevailing torque verification.
• Design and mechanical engineers selecting locking nuts for assemblies subject to vibration or rotation.
• Procurement and quality assurance teams creating specifications and acceptance criteria for supplied nuts.

Practical use cases include any mechanical assemblies requiring controlled locking behavior and predictable torque/clamp relationships under defined conditions.

Related Standards

• ISO 16047 - Torque/clamp force testing (test methods referenced in EN ISO 2320)
• ISO 898‑2 - Mechanical properties of nuts (referenced for property classes)

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.
The procedures used to develop this document and those intended for its further maintenance are
described in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 1. In particular the different approval criteria needed for the
different types of ISO documents should be noted. This document was drafted in accordance with the
editorial rules of the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2 (see www.iso.org/directives).
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. Details of
any patent rights identified during the development of the document will be in the Introduction and/or

3 to 5 pitches;
— the reference surface condition for the test bolt has been specified in accordance with ISO 16047
(plain surface, uncoated and degreased, unless otherwise agreed);
— the determination of the prevailing-off torque has been changed from the upper value to the
minimum value (new point 5 in Figure 2), which changes the acceptance conditions;

b
See Annex B.
c
The value of the upper limit of the clamp force is equal to 75 % of the proof load, see Annex B.
d
The value of the lower limit of the clamp force is equal to 65 % of the proof load, see Annex B.
e
The values of prevailing torque for first assembly apply for all metal type nuts only. For prevailing torque non-metallic
insert type nuts, the maximum prevailing torques shall be 50 % of the values.
