What is a Hexagon Plain Nut?

A Hexagon Plain Nut (NUT,PLAIN,HEXAGON) is a nut, flat on top and bottom having 6 flat sides. For items which have internal tapered or straight (parallel) pipe threads, specific electrical conduit size designation, and which when installed, provide a method of tightening to lock the connection, see LOCKNUT, ELECTRICAL CONDUIT. See also LOCKNUT, TUBE FITTING. For items having a thickness (or height) exceeding two times the width across the flats, use POST, ELECTRICAL-MECHANICAL EQUIPMENT. (When height or thickness and/or width across the flats is designated as a tolerance dimension, the maximum dimension will be used to determine compliance.)

What is a Hexagon Self-Locking Nut?

A Hexagon Self-Locking Nut (NUT,SELF-LOCKING,HEXAGON) is a nut having a flat bottom and 6 sides. An integral feature is incorporated for locking on the threads of a mating member. Excludes NUT (1), SELF-LOCKING, CAP.

What is a Flat Washer?

A Flat Washer (WASHER,FLAT) is a washer having a centrally located hole with a solid or laminated cross-section and two flat parallel bearing surfaces. The hole must be 75 percent or less than the largest dimension and the bearing surface finish is greater than 32 microinch (0.8 micrometer). The thickness cannot exceed 25 percent of the largest outside dimension. When the largest outside dimension is less than 1/4 inch or 6mm, the thickness must be 0.006 inches (0.15mm) or greater and for items 1/4 inch (6mm) or larger, the thickness must be 0.016 inches (0.4mm) or greater. The maximum tolerance is applied to dimensions and used as a determining factor. Items with separable lamination use SHIM. For items fabricated from ceramic or electrically rated materials by specification or industry standards use INSULATOR (1), WASHER. Excludes DISK, VALVE, graphite impregnated and lubricated items.

NATO Supply Class 5310 is a classification within NATO Supply Group 53, which is dedicated to Hardware And Abrasives. Specifically, Class 5310 pertains to Nuts And Washers.

Nuts and washers are essential components in various mechanical and construction applications. They are used to secure and fasten different parts together, providing stability and preventing loosening or disassembly.

In the NATO supply system, Class 5310 includes a wide range of nuts and washers, such as:

1. Nuts: These are typically hexagonal or square-shaped metal fasteners with a threaded hole in the center. Nuts are used in conjunction with bolts or screws to create a secure joint. They come in various sizes, materials, and thread types to accommodate different applications.

2. Washers: Washers are flat, thin discs with a hole in the center. They are placed between the nut and the surface being fastened to distribute the load and prevent damage to the surface. Washers can also be used to provide insulation, reduce friction, or act as spacers.

NATO Supply Class 5310 ensures that the nuts and washers meet specific quality and performance standards required by NATO member countries. These standards may include factors such as material composition, strength, corrosion resistance, and dimensional specifications.

When procuring nuts and washers within NATO Supply Class 5310, it is important to consider the specific requirements of the application, such as the type of material being fastened, the load-bearing capacity needed, and any environmental factors that may affect the performance of the fasteners.

Overall, NATO Supply Class 5310 plays a crucial role in ensuring the availability of high-quality nuts and washers for military and defense-related applications within NATO member countries.
