1INTRODUCTION1.1 Scope
This Standard covers the complete general,dimen-sional,mechanical,and performance data for carbonsteel, inch series nylon insert locknuts of property gradesNE2,NE5,and NE8 designated as American NationalStandard.
The inclusion of dimensional data in this Standard isnot intended to imply that all of the locknut sizes in
conjunction with the various options describtd 1heseinare stock items.Consumers should consult with suppli-
ers concerning lists of stock production nvlonipsertlocknuts.

For definitions of other terms relating to fasteners orcomponent features thereof used in this Standard, referto ASME B18.12.
4DIMENSIONS
Unless otherwise specified, all dimensions in thisStandard are inches and shall be as specified in Table 1and sections 6 through 9.All dimensions apply beforeplating or coating is specified. When plating or coatingis specified, the finished product dimensions shall beagreed upon between the supplier and purchaser.
5 NUT DESIGNS AND PROPERTY GRADES
This Standard covers top insert,two-piece construc-tion nuts that derive their prevailing-torque characteris-tics from an insert, usually a full ring of nonmetallicmaterial, located and retained in the nut at its top sur-face.These are designated as property grade NE2,NE5,and NE8 meeting the mechanical and performancerequirements of Table 2 or 3.
6WIDTH ACROSS FLATS
The width across flats shall be the distance measuredperpendicular to the axis of the nut between two oppo-site wrenching flats.
