Dimensional data for M16 Thin Hex Nut to GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032, with the drive and the installation notes for this type.
Values are taken from the governing standard rather than from a general machine-thread table, because this type is not selected on one.
M16 Dimensional Row (GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032)
| Size | Pitch (mm) | Width across flats s (mm) | Width across corners e (mm) | Nut height m (mm) | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M16 | 2.0 | 24.0 | 26.75 | 8.0 | ISO 4035 / GB/T 6172 |
Spanner & Drive for M16 Thin Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 058)
M16 Thin Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 058) have a width across flats of 24.0 mm — fit a 24.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. In tight access a 6-point socket on the 24.0 mm flats gives the most engagement per degree of swing. Where the joint is torqued to a figure, a click wrench is the only way to reproduce it across a batch.
Tightening Torque for M16
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 209 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 306 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 358 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M16
Nuts are graded to ISO 898-2 by the proof load the nut itself will hold (classes 04, 05, 5, 6, 8, 10 and 12), not by the 8.8 / 10.9 / 12.9 scale used for bolts. A class-8 nut is the correct mate for a class-8.8 bolt, and the joint is designed on the bolt, so no bolt-tension figure is quoted here.
Installation Tips for M16 Thin Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 058)
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- Serrated flanges need to sit directly on the joint face. A washer between the two removes the bite and leaves an ordinary bolted joint that is believed to be a locking one.
Mating Parts for M16
Pair M16 with the matching M16 bolt or screw, plus a M16 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
