Frequently Asked Questions
ASME B18.16.6 focuses on imperial dimensions and specific all-metal deflection types, whereas ISO 7042 is the metric counterpart. Both are designed to ensure high-vibration security using prevailing torque.
According to ASME B18.16.6 and ISO 2320, these nuts are designed to maintain their locking torque for up to 5 cycles, although new installation is recommended for safety-critical joints.
We offer Zinc Plating (ASTM B633), Zinc Flake (ISO 10683), and specialty Phosphate or Waxing treatments depending on the environmental requirements.
Yes. Because our prevailing torque nuts are "all-metal," they do not contain nylon or plastic inserts that melt, making them ideal for high-thermal industrial applications.
Every batch undergoes rigorous testing including first and fifth removal torque verification, proof load testing per ASTM A563, and full chemical analysis provided via MTC 3.1 certifications.
Yes, we provide full drawing support. You can send your technical assembly requirements to our engineering team for an optimized locking solution tailored to your specific needs.
