FOREWORD
The B18 American National Standards Committee for the standardization of bolts, screws, nuts,
rivets, and similar fasteners was organized in March 1922, as Sectional Committee B18 under
the aegis of the American Engineering Standards Committee (later the American Standards
Association, then the United States of America Standards Institute, and as of October 6, 1969,
the American National Standards Institute, Inc.), with the Society of Automotive Engineers
and the American Society of Mechanical Engineers as joint sponsors. B18 Subcommittee 2 was
subsequently established and charged with the responsibility for technical content of standards
covering wrench head bolts and nuts.
At its meeting on December 4, 1974, the B18 Committee authorized preparation of a series of
standards for metric fasteners. Subcommittee 2 was assigned responsibility for developing stan-
dards for metric hex bolts, screws, and nuts.
At a meeting on September 22, 1976, Subcommittee 2 organized the contents of a standard
covering six different styles of hex nuts. Actual drafting was postponed until ISO/TC2 could
reach final decisions relating to basic dimensions and characteristics of hex bolts, screws, and
nuts. At ISO/TC2 meetings held in April 1977, final actions were taken. The B18 Committee
affirmed the TC2 decisions at a metting on June 29, 1977, and drafting of this Standard was
started.
In February 1978, the B18 Committee established a cooperative program with the Department
of Defense to draft American National Standards for metric fasteners in such a way that they
could be used directly by the Government for procurement purposes. The Department of Defense
requested that each of the six nut products be covered in separate standards, and Subcommittee
2 accepted this approach at its meeting on June 27, 1978.
This Standard was approved by letter ballot of the B18 Committee on July 2, 1979, and was
subsequently approved by the secretariats and submitted to the American National Standards
Institute for designation as an American National Standard. This was granted on December 6, 1979.
In March 2007, B18 Subcommittee 2 decided to start a major revision of the Standard. The
scope was revised to include the range of nuts from M12 through M100, dimensional differences
were coordinated to the extent possible with ISO 4775, the referenced standards were specifically
identified, the terminology was referenced specifically to ASME B18.12, symbols specifying geo-
metric characteristics were made in accordance with ASME Y14.5, stainless steel and nonferrous
nuts were conformed to the requirements of ASTM F 836M, stainless steel and nonferrous nuts
were marked to identify the property class and manufacturer in accordance with requirements
specified in ASTM F 836M or ASTM F 467M, acceptability of nuts was determined in accordance
with ASME B18.18.2, a reference was made for the recommended B18 (PIN) for metric heavy
hex nuts and was included in ASME B18.24, a workmanship reference to ASTM F 812/F 812M
was added, Table 1 was enhanced to include symbols specifying geometric characteristics per
ASME Y14.5, the table in Nonmandatory Appendix A was added to assist in determining the
dimensional differences between ASME B18.2.4.6M and ISO 4775, and Appendix 1 and Table 2
were removed.
This Standard was approved by the American National Standards Institute on February 22, 2010.

CORRESPONDENCE WITH THE B18 COMMITTEE
General. ASME Standards are developed and maintained with the intent to represent the
consensus of concerned interests. As such, users of this Standard may interact with the Committee
by requesting interpretations, proposing revisions, and attending Committee meetings. Corre-
spondence should be addressed to:
Secretary, B18 Standards Committee
The American Society of Mechanical Engineers
Three Park Avenue
New York, NY 10016-5990
http://go.asme.org/Inquiry
Proposing Revisions. Revisions are made periodically to the Standard to incorporate changes
that appear necessary or desirable, as demonstrated by the experience gained from the application
of the Standard. Approved revisions will be published periodically.
The Committee welcomes proposals for revisions to this Standard. Such proposals should be
as specific as possible, citing the paragraph number(s), the proposed wording, and a detailed
description of the reasons for the proposal, including any pertinent documentation.
Proposing a Case. Cases may be issued for the purpose of providing alternative rules when
justified, to permit early implementation of an approved revision when the need is urgent, or to
provide rules not covered by existing provisions. Cases are effective immediately upon ASME
approval and shall be posted on the ASME Committee Web page.
Requests for Cases shall provide a Statement of Need and Background Information. The request
should identify the standard, the paragraph, figure or table number(s), and be written as a
Question and Reply in the same format as existing Cases. Requests for Cases should also indicate
the applicable edition(s) of the standard to which the proposed Case applies.
Interpretations. Upon request, the B18 Standards Committee will render an interpretation of
any requirement of the Standard. Interpretations can only be rendered in response to a written
request sent to the Secretary of the B18 Standards Committee.
The request for an interpretation should be clear and unambiguous. It is further recommended
that the inquirer submit his/her request in the following format:
Subject: Cite the applicable paragraph number(s) and the topic of the inquiry.
Edition: Cite the applicable edition of the Standard for which the interpretation is
being requested.
Question: Phrase the question as a request for an interpretation of a specific requirement
suitable for general understanding and use, not as a request for an approval
of a proprietary design or situation. The inquirer may also include any plans
or drawings, which are necessary to explain the question; however, they
should not contain proprietary names or information.
Requests that are not in this format may be rewritten in the appropriate format by the Committee
prior to being answered, which may inadvertently change the intent of the original request.
ASME procedures provide for reconsideration of any interpretation when or if additional
information that might affect an interpretation is available. Further, persons aggrieved by an
interpretation may appeal to the cognizant ASME Committee or Subcommittee. ASME does not
“approve,” “certify,” “rate,” or “endorse” any item, construction, proprietary device, or activity.
Attending Committee Meetings. The B18 Standards Committee regularly holds meetings that
are open to the public. Persons wishing to attend any meeting should contact the Secretary of
the B18 Standards Committee.

GENERAL NOTES:
(a) For hot-dip galvanized nuts, the above dimensions apply before galvanizing.
(b) The only dimensional differences between ASME B18.2.4.6M and ISO 4775 are that ASME B18.2.4.6M does not specify diameter, da,
wrenching height, m′, and the chamfer angle.
NOTES:
(1) P p pitch of thread.
(2) Nonpreferred for technical reasons.
(3) dw max. p s actual
(4) Indicates second choice diameter.
