DIN 934 / BS4032 / BS4190 / BS3692 Hexagon nuts with metric coarse and fine pitch thread – Product classes A and B, Withdrawn, DIN EN ISO 4032, DIN EN ISO 8673. Hex nut are one of the most common nuts available and are used with anchors, bolts, screws, studs, threaded rods and on any other fastener that has machine screw threads. Hex is short for hexagon, which means they have six sides. James Hall Nasmith (1808-1890) patented a machine for milling hexagon by 1829. It was tooled to mill the six sides of a hex nut that was mounted in a six-way indexing machine.
General:
Therefore Hex Nut are measured by the width of the hex shape and by their thread pitch. Bolts and hexagon nuts come in many different measurements and cannot be interchanged. Generally nut and bolt measurements come in either metric sizing or standard sizing.
Even so a machine nut is hex shaped with internal threads. Smaller than a hex jam or hex finish nut, they are used with machine screws under 1/4″ diameter.
