Talk:Nut (hardware)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
"Hexaform Rotary Surface Compression Unit" is not a valid term, 210.142.29.125. Duk 13:56, 15 Sep 2004 (UTC)
Need also explanations (or links thereto) of "prevailing torque nut" and "pal nut." Could also use an explanation of nut markings (like, WTF does the F on the rim mean? or little rectangles on the facets—some breed of interference nut?) Kwantus 19:51, 2005 May 27 (UTC)
[edit] nut classes
there was some mixing of SAE and ISO fastener grades that I've removed, for example Grade 8 is an SAE grade, while Grade 8.8 is an ISO metric grade (i think) that is totally different. Anyway see [1] and [2] --Duk 19:13, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
I was wrong, sorry; metric nut grades are different from their respective bolt grade - the right hand digit and decimal point are omitted. Whereas SAE nut and bolt grades are the same. --Duk 21:41, 26 October 2005 (UTC)
- Your second comment is correct. I'll reinstate my previous, correct sentence, because there's no reason to duplicate a table here instead of just providing a wikilink to it, which I was going to provide at "proof strength" in my previous sentence. I can also add an additional short sentence. This will be a much simpler solution, to avoid duplication and keep the page concise. --Simian, 2005-10-27, 01:01 Z

FAR EASTERN MANUFACTURERS refer to metric nuts by class, the Eurpean market refers to them by grade ie class 8 is grade 8. in practice class 6 are supplied into Europe marked 8 this unusuall situation does not appear to be an issue and the failure of class 6 nuts on 8.8 bolts again does not appear to be an issue! —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 80.175.213.17 (talk • contribs).
[edit] Nylock
What's with the picture caption that calls the nut with the nylon insert "not nylock"? If that isn't a nyloc/nylock, then what actually is? 68.0.226.163 03:24, 6 February 2007 (UTC)
- That's probably somebody reacting to "Nylock" probably being somebody's trademark. This deserves some investigation and editing.

[edit] Merge in other nut pages?
It might be better to combine the other pages about various kind s and uses of nut into this main page: [Castellated_nut], [Locknut], [Nyloc nut] et al are currently very short stub articles and although these are interesting pieces of hardware perhaps do not deserve their own encyclopedia entries.
Combining the pages would also make it easier to produce a coherent structure for the resulting nut page, although with the present situation that might be thought of as wishful thinking.

- Weak support -- Sounds like a good idea to me but I guess I'd want to know the complete list of articles to be merged to here. -- Atlant 13:25, 2 May 2007 (UTC)
