The key features are:
Hexagonal shape of the nut head (A)
Thickness of the nut (B)
Diameter of the internal threaded hole (C)
Hex nuts are a very common type of fastener used in a wide range of applications. The hexagonal shape allows them to be tightened or loosened using a wrench. The internal threading matches the thread size of the bolt or stud it will be used with.
Hex nuts are available in a variety of materials, including carbon steel, alloy steel, and stainless steel, to suit different strength and corrosion resistance requirements. They may also have different surface treatments or coatings applied.
The specific dimensions shown in the drawing, like the width across flats (A), thickness (B), and thread diameter (C), would allow this hex nut to be properly specified and manufactured to meet the needs of the application it will be used in. Knowing these key measurements is important for ensuring compatibility with the mating bolt or other components.
