The specified proof load for the nut shall be applied against the nut in an axial direction. (See footnote 1 of Table 2 for method for computing the proof load in pounds for a nut.) The nut shall resist this load without failure by stripping or rupture, and shall be removable ‘rom the test bolt or mandrel by the fingers afer the load is released. NOTE—Qccasionaly it may bé'necessary to use a manual wrench or other means o start the nut in motion. Use of such means is permissible, providing the nut is removable by the fingers following an loosening of not more than one-half turn of the nut It the threads of the test boll or mandrel are damaged during the test, the test shail be discarded.SAE J995 1d JUL 1999 Heo $9015 $8018 AGB FIGURE 1PROOF LOAD TEST Test bolts shall have threads conforming to Class 2A tolerances and shall have a yield strength in excess of the specified proof load of the nut being tested Mandrets shail have a minimum hardness of 45 HRC: and shail be threaded to Class 3A tolerance, except that the major diameter shail be the minimum major diameter with a tolerance of +0.002 in For referee purposes, the proof load test shall be conducted using a hardened mandrel, Hardness Test—Rockwell hardness shall be determined on the top or bottom nut face hatfway between the major diameter of the thread and one corner, or, if applicable, on a wrench face one-third of the distance from. Corner to the center of the wrench face. In preparing the surface, sufficient material shall be removed to assure elimination of any decarburization or other surface Irregularities. Hardness tests shall be conducted in accordance with SAE J417. Marking—Three “styles” of grade marking are acceptable. Style A is applicable to all types and sizes of nuts. Style B is applicable to hex nuts of sizes 5/8 in and larger; but may be used for smaller sizes or other types of nuts only when authorized by the purchaser. Style C is applicable to nuts which are fabricated by cutting from hex bar. Marking for source (manufacturer or private label distributor) identifcation shall be by the manufacturer's or private label distributor's mark. Markings shall not project beyond the height or width across flats of the nuts. No more than 10% of the nut top surface area may be used for grade and source markings. In the case of double chamfer nuts, one face only is. ‘considered a top surface. Style A marking shall be depressed on the top surface of the nut on a circular line or path approximately midway between hole diameter and hex flat diameter, or, for hex flange nuts at the supplier's option, raised or depressed ‘on top of the flange, and shail consist of: a single circumforential ine for Grade 2 nuts: two circumferential ines 120 degrees apart for Grade 5 nuts; and two circumferential ines 60 degrees apart for Grade 8 nuts, The circumferential lines shall conform to the following dimensions (inch, nominal): (See Table 5.)SAE J995 Revised JUL1999, ‘TABLE 5—MARKING DIMENSIONS.

Style C marking shall consist of notches at the hexagon comers, one notch at each corner for Grade § nuts, ‘and two notches at each corner for Grade 8 nuts. Grade 2 nuts are not required to be marked for grade or source identification, unless specified by the purchaser. If marked, Grade 2 nuts shall be marked with grade and source identification marks. Grade § and Grade 8 hex and hex flange nuts, sizes 1/4 through 1-1/2, shall be marked for grade identification ‘and for source identification. Grade 5 and Grade 8 hex jam, heavy hex jam, hex slotted, heavy hex siotted, hex thick slotied, hex thick, and heavy hex nuts are not required to be marked for grade or source Identification, uniess specified by the purchaser. If marked, Grade 5 and Grade 8 hex jam, heavy hex jam, hex. slotted, heavy hex slotted, hex thick slotted, hex thick, and heavy hex nuts shall be marked with grade and ‘source identification marks. Testing Requirements Manufacturer's Responsibility—During the manufacture of products to the requirements ofthis specification, the manufacturer shall make periodic tests to ensure that the properties of the product are being maintained within specified limits. For all Grade 8 nuts, and for Grade 5 hex and hex flange nuts, each lot shall be tested. Such tests shall be conducted in accordance with a sampling plan, preferably the sampling plan given in 8.3, and the test resuits shall be recorded in a test report. When requested in writing by the purchaser, the manufacturer shall furnish a copy of the test report certified to be a report of the results of the lot for Grade 8 nuts or Grade § hex or hex flange nuts, or, for other nuts, of the last completed set of tests for the specific type, size, and grade of product. Purchaser's Options—I the purchaser requires that additional tests be performed by the manufacturer to determine that the properties of products in an individual lot or shipment are within specified limits, or if the Purchaser requires that a sampling plan different from that given in 8.3 shall be used when determining the ‘acceptability of a lot, or shipment, of products, the purchaser shall specify the complete testing requirements, including sampling plan and basis of acceptance, in the original inquiry and purchase order General—An acceptable sampling plan, with the acceptance criteria of zero nonconformances, is outlined in Table 6, A lot, for purposes of selecting test specimens, shall consist of a quantity of nuts of one part number ‘manufactured by the same production process from the same coll or heat number of steel and submitted for inspection and testing at one time.SAE J995 Revised JUL1999 ‘TABLE 6—SAMPLING PLAN Minoan Number of Specimens.
