T 6171 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.
T 6171 — Scope
T 6171 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
T 6171, 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.
Companion Standards
T 6171 controls only the geometry of hex nut, fine pitch — gb/t 6171 / iso 8673 (series 067). 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).
