February 2000 edition.
Rohrmuttern mit Rohrgewinde nach ISO 228-1

In keeping with current practice in standards published by the International Organization for Standardization
(ISO), a comma has been used throughout as the decimal marker.

Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Technical Committee Schrauben und Muttern mit Außenantrieb of
the Normenausschuss Mechanische Verbindungselemente (Fasteners Standards Committee).

Amendments
This standard differs from the February 2000 edition in that the designation has been amended by including
the width across flats for sizes G 1/8, G 1/4, G 1/2 and G 5/8, and that the mass for sizes G 1/8, G 1, G 1/2
and G 5/8 is no longer specified.

All dimensions are in millimetres.

1 Scope
This standard specifies dimensions and technical delivery conditions for sizes G 1/8 to G 6 (hexagon and
octagon) pipe nuts with thread as in ISO 228-1 and of product grades B and C.
