Foreword

ISO (the International Organization for Standardization) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies
(ISO member bodies). The work of preparing International Standards is normally carried out through ISO
technical committees. Each member body interested in a subject for which a technical committee has been
established has the right to be represented on that committee. International organizations, governmental and
non-governmental, in liaison with ISO, also take part in the work. ISO collaborates closely with the International
Electrotechnical Commission (IEC) on all matters of electrotechnical standardization.

International Standards are drafted in accordance with the rules given in the ISO/IEC Directives, Part 2.

The main task of technical committees is to prepare International Standards. Draft International Standards
adopted by the technical committees are circulated to the member bodies for voting. Publication as an
International Standard requires approval by at least 75 % of the member bodies casting a vote.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. ISO shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

ISO 7042 was prepared by Technical Committee ISO/TC 2, Fasteners, Subcommittee SC 12, Fasteners with
metric internal thread.

This third edition cancels and replaces the second edition (ISO 7042:1997), of which it constitutes a minor revision.

INTERNATIONAL STANDARD ISO 7042:2012(E)

Prevailing torque type all-metal hexagon high nuts — Property

classes 5, 8, 10 and 12

1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type all-metal hexagon high nuts,
with threads from M5 up to and including M36, in product grade A for threads up to and including M16 and
product grade B for threads above M16, and with property classes 5, 8, 10 and 12.

NOTE 1 The dimensions of the nuts with the exception of the dimensions mw and hmax correspond to those given in ISO 4033.

NOTE 2 Nuts of property class 9 are dealt with in ISO 7720.

If other specifications are required, they can be selected from existing International Standards, for example
ISO 261, ISO 724, ISO 898-2, ISO 965-2, ISO 2320 and ISO 4759-1.
