The Grade 8 Nuts with specified proof load values - coarse thread
The ISO 898-2:2013 Grade 8 specification covers carbon steel nuts ranging from M-6 to M-64 diameter. We use high carbon steel material and high alloy steel raw materials to achieve the required properties of grade 8. There are three popular grades in this standard 8, 10 and 12 which denote material hardness Strength and their respective mechanical properties.
