Indian Standard
SPECIFICATION FOR
SLOTTED AND CASTLE NUTS
( First Revision )
0. F O R E W O R D
0.1 This Indian Standard (First Revision) was adopted by the Indian
Standards Institution on 2 August 1967, after the draft finalized by
the Screw Threads and Fasteners Sectional Committee had been
approved by the Mechanical Engineering Division Council.
0.2 This standard was originally issued in 1962 following the
recognition of the metric screw threads with ISO profile with the size
range M4 to M39. In the present revision the size range has been
extended to M100.
0.3 In the preparation of this standard assistance has been derived
from the following documents:
ISO/R 288-1963 Slotted and castle nuts with metric thread.
International Organization for Standardization.
ISO/TC 2 (Secretariat-187) 305 First draft proposal for castle nuts.
Metric Series. International Organization for Standardization.
0.4 This edition 2.3 incorporates Amendment No. 3 (January 1976). Side
bar indicates modification of the text as the result of incorporation of the
amendment. Amendment Nos. 1 & 2 had been incorporated earlier.
0.5 For the purpose of deciding whether a particular requirement of this
standard is complied with, the final value, observed or calculated,
expressing the result of a test, shall be rounded off in accordance with
IS : 2-1960*. The number of significant places retained in the rounded off
value should be the same as that of the specified value in this standard.

1. SCOPE
1.1 This standard prescribes the requirements of precision and black
grades of slotted and castle nuts in the following diameter ranges:
a) Precision grade slotted nuts 4 to 39 mm
b) Black grade slotted nuts 12 to 33 mm
c) Precision and black grades castle nuts 12 to 100 mm
*Rules for rounding off numerical values (Since revised).

3
IS : 2232 - 1967
2. MECHANICAL PROPERTIES
2.1 The slotted and castle nuts shall have the properties corresponding
to the property class 4, 6 or 8 of IS : 1367-1967*.

3. GRADE
3.1 Nuts conforming to this standard shall be of two grades, Precision
(P) and Black (B), as specified in IS : 1367-1967*.

4. DIMENSIONS
4.1 The dimensions of the nuts shall be as given in Tables 1 to 11.
4.2 The screw thread dimensions of the nuts in the diameter range 4 to
39 mm shall conform to the tolerance class 6H specified in
IS : 4218-1967†.
4.3 The screw thread dimensions of the nuts in the diameter range 42
to 100 mm shall conform to tolerance class 6H specified in
IS : 3139-1966‡.

5. DESIGNATION
5.1 Slotted and castle nuts shall be designated by nominal size,
number of this standard, grade and property class.
Example:
A slotted nut of nominal size M10 and of precision grade
possessing mechanical properties corresponding to the property
class 6 shall be designated as:
Slotted Nut M10 IS : 2232-P-6

6. GENERAL REQUIREMENTS
6.1 Sampling — The sampling and criteria of acceptance of the nuts
shall be in accordance with IS : 2614-1964§.
6.2 The nuts conforming to this standard shall meet the requirements
of IS : 1367-1967*, in regard to the requirements not covered in this
standard.
*Technical supply conditions for threaded fasteners ( revised ).
†ISO metric screw threads.
‡Dimensions for screw threads for bolts and nuts (diameter range M42 to M150).
§Methods for sampling of fasteners (Since revision).
