This page covers M24 Hex Nut to GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032: the full dimensional row, hole and tool sizes, proof-load data and typical applications. All values are taken from the governing standards (GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 together with ISO 273, ISO 724 and ISO 898-1 where applicable).
M24 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M24 | 3.0 | 36.0 | 39.98 | 21.5 | ISO 4032 / GB/T 6170 |
Spanner & Drive for M24 Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 061)
M24 Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 061) have a width across flats of 36.0 mm — fit a 36.0 mm open-ended spanner or socket. Use a 6-point socket for tight clearances and to reduce rounding; for repeated assembly choose a torque wrench so the joint preload is repeatable.
Common Applications for M24 Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 061)
M24 Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 061) are commonly specified for structural joints, flange connections and heavy equipment foundations.
Installation Tips for M24 Hex Nut — GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 (Series 061)
- Use a 6-point socket where access allows — 12-point sockets are more prone to rounding the corners on smaller sizes.
- On flanged or serrated variants, do NOT add a separate flat washer — the flange already spreads the load and the washer can defeat the locking serrations.
- At M24 the stretch in the bolt becomes the controlling factor — for critical joints, use angle-controlled or stretch-controlled tightening instead of pure torque.
Mating Parts for M24
Pair M24 with the matching M24 bolt or screw, plus a M24 flat washer where required to distribute load on softer materials.
