NOTES:

1. For titles and source of availability of referenced ASTM and SAE specifications, refer to page N-38. For ASTM A563, seepage B-167. For ASTM Al94/A194M, seepage B-126.    

2. A563 Grades C and C3 nuts are intended for use with A325 high strength structural bolts. These grades are available only in the heavy hex style.                

3. Dimensions for all styles of nuts are covered in ASME/ANSI B 18.2.2, page D-2.        

4. To compute the proof load, in pounds, for a nut, multiply the proof load stress value, ksi, as given in the table for the applicable strength grade, style, size and surface condition by 1000 and multiply this answer by the tensile stress area of the nut's screw thread as given in Tables 1, 2 and 3 of ASME 61.1, pages A-36 thru A-38.

5. Zinc coated nuts are nuts intended for use with externally threaded fasteners which are hot-dip; galvanized, mechanically galvanized, or have a plating or coating of sufficient thickness to     necessitate that the nut thread be overlapped to provide assemblability.

6. Proof loads of slotted and jam nuts may be assumed to be 80 percent and 60 percent, respec     tively, of the proof loads of full thickness nuts of the same grade, size and basic dimensional style.
