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 7044 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 7044:1997), of which it constitutes a minor revision.

Prevailing torque type all-metal hexagon nuts with flange, style
2 — Product grades A and B
1 Scope
This International Standard specifies the characteristics of prevailing torque type all-metal hexagon nuts with
flange (style 2) and threads M5 to M20 inclusive, in product grade A for threads up to and including M16 and
product grade B for threads above M16, and with property classes 8, 9, 10 and 12.
NOTE The dimensions of the nuts correspond to those given in ISO 4161 plus prevailing torque feature.
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.

Annex A
(informative)
Gauging of hexagon nuts with flange
A.1 Recommended method for gauging of hexagon
See Figure A.1 and Table A.1.
The nut shall be gauged using two plain ring gauges, A and B, to demonstrate the coincidental acceptability
of hexagon height, wrenching height, corner fill and width across corners. Gauge A shall be placed over the
hexagon and shall be seated on the flange. Gauge B shall be placed on the top of the nut normal to the nut
axis. The two gauges shall not be in contact.
A.2 Recommended method for gauging flange thickness
See Figure A.1 and Table A.1.
Gauge C is a flat feeler or ring gauge. It is used to prove that the flange thickness at the junction of the gauge
with the hexagon portion is equal to or greater than specified values. The acceptance criterion is that gauge C
fits under gauge A without contact when the nut is seated on a flat plate.
