For All-Metal Prevailing Torque Hex Lock Nut (Type 1) — GB/T 6184 / ISO 7042 (Series 047), ISO 7042 defines dimensions, tolerances and product grades. The sections below describe its scope, what it does NOT cover, and the equivalents across DIN, ISO and ASME.
ISO 7042 — Scope
ISO 7042 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of all-metal prevailing torque hex lock nut (type 1) — gb/t 6184 / iso 7042 (series 047). 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
ISO 7042, alongside the related GB/T 6184 / ISO 7042 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.

Equivalent Standards
Where direct equivalents exist (ISO ↔ DIN, ISO ↔ ASME), they are listed on the parent All-Metal Prevailing Torque Hex Lock Nut (Type 1) — GB/T 6184 / ISO 7042 (Series 047) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
When to Specify ISO 7042
Choose ISO 7042 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for all-metal prevailing torque hex lock nut (type 1) — gb/t 6184 / iso 7042 (series 047).
