Specification summary of T 6172.1 as applied to thin hex 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.
T 6172.1 — Scope
T 6172.1 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of thin hex nut — gb/t 6172.1 / iso 4035 (series 055). 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 6172.1, alongside the related GB/T 6172.1 / ISO 4035 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 Thin Hex Nut — GB/T 6172.1 / ISO 4035 (Series 055) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
When to Specify T 6172.1
Choose T 6172.1 for international engineering work and OEM supply where ISO standards are the contractual reference. It is the default modern specification for thin hex nut — gb/t 6172.1 / iso 4035 (series 055).
