Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nut — GB/T 889 / ISO 7040 (Series 078) manufactured to T 889 follow a specific scope. This page summarizes that scope, lists every dimension the standard fixes, and points to the most common cross-references.
T 889 — Scope
T 889 specifies the dimensions and tolerances of nylon insert hex lock nut — gb/t 889 / iso 7040 (series 078). 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 889, alongside the related GB/T 889 / ISO 7040 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 Nylon Insert Hex Lock Nut — GB/T 889 / ISO 7040 (Series 078) page. Always confirm against the dimensions on this page, since some "equivalent" standards differ in tolerances and head geometry.
Companion Standards
T 889 controls only the geometry of nylon insert hex lock nut — gb/t 889 / iso 7040 (series 078). 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).
