    NOTES:

    1. In addition to the indicated grade marking, all grades, except A563


    grades O, A and B, must be marked for manufacturer identification.
    2. The markings shown for all grades of A194 nuts are for cold formed
    and hot forged nuts. When nuts are machined from bar stock the nut
    must be additionally marked with the letter 'B'.
    3. Nuts are not required to be marked unless specified by the purchaser.
    When marked, the identification marking shall be the grade letter O, A
    or B.
    4. Properties shown are those of nonplated or noncoated coarse thread
    hex nuts.
    5. Properties shown are those of coarse thread heavy hex nuts.
    6. Properties shown are those of coarse thread heavy hex nuts.
    7. Properties shown are those of coarse 8-pitch thread heavy hex nuts.
    8. Hardnesses are Brinell Hardness Numbers.
    9. The nut manufacturer, at his option, may add other markings to indicate
    the use of atmospheric corrosion resistant steel.

    Tensile Strength: The maximum load in tension (pulling apart) which a material can withstand before
    breaking or fracturing.
    Yield Strength: The maximum load at which a material exhibits a specific permanent deformation
    Proof Load: An axial tensile load which the product must withstand without evidence of any permanent set.
    1MPa = 1N/mm2 = 145 pounds/inch2
