ISO 8673 is the governing dimensional standard for hex nut, fine pitch. This page sets out the scope of the standard, reproduces the full size table it specifies, and lists the DIN/ISO/ASME cross-references commonly cited in datasheets and drawings.
ISO 8673 — Scope
ISO 8673 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of hex nut, fine pitch — gb/t 6171 / iso 8673 (series 067). 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 8673, alongside the related GB/T 6171 / ISO 8673 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 Hex Nut, Fine Pitch — GB/T 6171 / ISO 8673 (Series 067) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
When to Specify ISO 8673
Choose ISO 8673 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for hex nut, fine pitch — gb/t 6171 / iso 8673 (series 067).
