Tolerance & Product Grades
Product grade is a concept from dimensional fastener standards and does not apply to GB/T 39. Tolerances for this part are the limits shown against each dimension in the table.

Companion Standards
A complete specification for square nut, metric — gb/t 39 / din 557 (series 076) normally cites several documents: one for the geometry, one for the material or mechanical properties, and one for the finish. GB/T 39 is one of them, not all of them.
When to Specify GB/T 39
Choose GB/T 39 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for square nut, metric — gb/t 39 / din 557 (series 076).
Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need a nut to this standard in a non-standard size?
Parts built to GB T 39 are already in the catalog, so a special is usually a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design — which is what keeps the cost down. Made by cold heading or tapping.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
