GOST Nut

Nuts manufactured to GOST feature strict compliance with the specified size ranges. A GOST nut is compatible with bolts, washers and other fasteners made to the same standard.

A nut is a ring-shaped part, usually hexagonal in form. The hole has an internally cut helical thread. Nuts are used together with other components — screws, bolts, studs and washers.

Hand wrenches or power tools are used to tighten the nut. GOST specifies the size ranges of nuts and the materials used for their manufacture.

Applications

Hexagonal nuts are the most common — they provide the strongest possible connection between the joined components.

For structures subject to high vibration loads, it is recommended to use a nut together with a washer. GOST nuts are used in virtually all industrial sectors.

Features

Nuts manufactured to GOST standards are made from the following materials:

• Stainless steel;
• Zinc-plated (usually by electroplating);
• High-strength steel.

Fasteners made of stainless steel or with a protective coating can be used in harsh environments, including under significant temperature and humidity fluctuations.
