RosMetiz Issues Nut Production Standard

The RosMetiz Association has published standard STO PM 1-1.003-2011 relating to threading of Class 8 high grade nuts Fastener + Fixing reported.

This standard defines the requirements for threading of nuts with internal diameters up to and including M16, of strength Class8, according to GOST P 52628-2006 “Screw nuts. Mechanical properties and test methods”, and also according to STO PM 1-1.001-2011 “Screw nuts six-sided with serrated bearing area: technical requirements”. According to the co-ordinator of Council of RosMetiz Association, Alexander Semenov, this is a serious step allowing the introduction of modern technology for production of nuts in CIS hardware factories. This standard is an integral part of the development of production technology for steel nuts, aimed at ensuring CIS produced fasteners are able to compete with the best fastener producers from South East Asia not only at the price, but also quality, Fastener + Fixing reported.
