NOTES:
-
In addition to
the indicated grade marking, all grades, except
A563 grades O, A and B, must be marked for
manufacturer identification.
-
The markings
shown for all grades of A194 nuts are for cold
formed and hot forged nuts. When nuts are
machined from bar stock the nut must be
additionally marked with the letter 'B'.
-
Nuts are not
required to be marked unless specified by the
purchaser. When marked, the identification
marking shall be the grade letter O, A or B.
-
Properties
shown are those of nonplated or noncoated coarse
thread hex nuts.
-
Properties
shown are those of coarse thread heavy hex nuts.
-
Properties
shown are those of coarse thread heavy hex nuts.
-
Properties
shown are those of coarse 8-pitch thread heavy
hex nuts.
-
Hardnesses are
Brinell Hardness Numbers.
-
The nut
manufacturer, at his option, may add other
markings to indicate the use of atmospheric
corrosion resistant steel.
