Foreword
This European Standard has been prepared by Technical Committee CEN/TC 185 "Threaded and non-threaded
mechanical fasteners and accessories", the secretariat of which is held by DIN.
This European Standard shall be given the status of a national Standard, either by publication of an identical text
or by endorsement, at the latest by June 1 998, and conflicting national Standards shall be withdrawn at the
latest by June 1 998.
According to the CEN/CENELEC Internal Regulations, the national Standards organizations of the following
countries are boundto implement this European Standard: Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland,
France, Germany, Greece, Iceland, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Portugal, Spain, Sweden,
Switzerland and the United Kingdom.
Endorsement notice
The text of the International Standard ISO 7043:1997 was approved by CEN as a European Standard with
agreed common modifications given as below.
The dimensions of nuts correspond to those given in EN 1661 plus prevailing torque feature.
Nuts according to this European Standard corresponds to those specified in the International Standard ISO 7043
with the exception that the width across f lats for M 1 0 is 16 mm (instead of 1 5 mm) and that the property class
9 was deleted.

1 Scope
This European Standard specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type hexagon nuts with flange, with
non-metallic annular insert and coarse threads from M5 to M20 inclusive, in product grade A for threads up to
and including MI 6 and product grade B for threads above MI 6 and with property classes 8 and 10.
2 Normative references
This European Standard incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this European
Standard only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of
the publication referred to applies.

M Based on the thread height (dimension nuts to this Standard are of style 2. However, since for
style 2 prEN ISO 2320 does not specify mechanical properties for all property classes and sizes as
specified in this Standard, in some cases nuts have to be tested according to style 1 .
5 Designation
EXAMPLE:
Designation of a prevailing torque type hexagon nut with f lange, with non-metallic insert, thread MI 2 and
property class 8:
Annex A (normative)
A.1 Recommended method for gauging of hexagon (see figure A.1 and table A.1)
The nut shall be gauged using two piain ring gauges, A and B, to demonstrate the coincidental acceptability of
hexagon height, wrenching height, corner fill and width across corners. Gauge A shall be placed over the
hexagon and shall be seated on the flange. Gauge B shall be placed on the top of the nut normal to the nut axis.
The two gauges shall not be in contact.
A.2 Recommended method for gauging of flange (see figure A.1 and table A.1)
Gauge C is a flat feeler or ring gauge. It is used to prove that the flange thickness at the junction of the gauge
with the hexagon portion is equal to or greater than specified values. The acceptance criterion is that gauge C
will fit under gauge A without contact when the nut is seated on a flat plate.
