DIN 6330 Hex Thick Nut Specification

Dimensional table, tolerance classes and the DIN / ISO / ASME parts that supersede or match this standard.

DIN 6330 specifies the dimensions and tolerances for hex thick nut. The full dimensional table is reproduced below, followed by the DIN, ISO and ASME parts that match or supersede it.

Standard: DIN 6330
Product: Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052)
Governing standards: DIN 6330 / GB/T 56

Equivalence between national standards is dimensional, not always metallurgical. Check the property class separately when substituting.

Specification summary of DIN 6330 as applied to hex thick nut: the dimensions the standard controls, the tolerance and product grades it defines, the full specified size range, and the equivalent DIN/ISO/ASME designations.

DIN 6330 — Scope

DIN 6330 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of hex thick nut — din 6330 / gb/t 56 (series 052). Material, property class, surface finish and packaging are governed by separate documents in the same standards family (for example ISO 898-1 for the mechanical property classes of bolts and screws).

Tolerance & Product Grades

DIN 6330, alongside the related DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 entries on this site, specifies product grades (typically A or B for fine work and C for general engineering) and tolerance classes for the controlling dimensions. Choose the grade against the precision your application requires.

Companion Standards

DIN 6330 controls only the geometry of hex thick nut — din 6330 / gb/t 56 (series 052). The mechanical strength is set by ISO 898-1 (bolts and screws) or ISO 898-2 (nuts); the surface finish is governed by separate finish standards (e.g. ISO 4042 for electroplating). For corrosion testing, the relevant document is ISO 9227 (neutral salt spray).

When to Specify DIN 6330

DIN 6330 is still widely used in European mechanical engineering and as a cross-reference on legacy drawings; its ISO equivalent is preferred for new designs.

Inside the plant

Manufactured in our own plant

This part is cold-formed, threaded, heat-treated and finished in-house. The stages below are where its class and finish are actually decided.

01

Cold heading

Wire rod is drawn to size and cold-formed into blanks. Forming rather than cutting keeps the grain flow continuous around the head, which is where a bolt is most likely to fail.

Head dimensions and under-head radius checked at set-up and per shift.
02

Thread rolling

Threads are rolled between hardened dies rather than cut. Rolled threads are stronger in fatigue than cut threads and hold pitch and flank angle far more consistently across a batch.

Go / no-go ring gauges to ISO 965 tolerance class 6g.
03

Heat treatment

Quench-and-temper brings carbon and alloy steel to the property class ordered — 8.8, 10.9 or 12.9 — with the furnace charge tracked so a finished lot can be traced back to it.

Core hardness and tensile tested per lot to ISO 898-1.
04

Surface treatment

Zinc, zinc-nickel, hot-dip galvanizing, black oxide, phosphate and Dacromet, selected against the service environment rather than against the price list.

Coating thickness and neutral salt spray hours to ISO 9227.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I substitute DIN 6330 for the corresponding DIN standard on a drawing?

On modern drawings the ISO standard is the master reference; the older DIN equivalent is a cross-reference. For most dimensional purposes the parts are interchangeable, but check tolerance grades and the head height — these are the most common points of divergence.

Which edition of DIN 6330 does this table follow?

The table reproduces the dimensions we supply hex thick nut — din 6330 / gb/t 56 (series 052) to. We do not publish an edition year against it, so where the edition is contractually significant, cite the edition you require on the enquiry and we will confirm it against the table before quoting.

What does DIN 6330 specify for Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052)?

DIN 6330 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of hex thick nut — din 6330 / gb/t 56 (series 052). Material and property class are governed by separate standards in the same family.

What product grades does DIN 6330 define?

DIN 6330 typically distinguishes product grades for precision (A/B) and general engineering (C). The selection for Hex Thick Nut — DIN 6330 / GB/T 56 (Series 052) depends on the precision your application requires.
