PREFACE
This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of Joint Standards Australia/Standards New
Zealand Committee ME-029, Fasteners, to supersede AS 1112.1—2000.
After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New
Zealand decided to develop this Standard as an Australian Standard rather than an Australian/New
Zealand Standard.
The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers, suppliers and users with the dimensions,
tolerances and material requirements for hexagon regular nuts (style 1), with threads from M1.6 up to
and including M64, with product grade A for threads D ≤ M16 and product grade B for threads
D > M16.
The objective of the revision is to adopt the current edition of ISO 4032.
This Standard is Part 1 of a four-part series on ISO metric hexagon nuts. The other parts give the
dimensions for the following:
Part 2: Style 2—Product grades A and B
Part 3: Product grade C
Part 4: Chamfered thin nuts—Product grades A and B
The product grade refers to the quality of the product and to the size of the tolerances where grade A
is the most precise and grade C is the least precise.
This Standard is identical with, and has been reproduced from ISO 4032:2012, Hexagon regular nuts
(style 1)—Product grades A and B.
As this Standard is reproduced from an International Standard, the following applies:
(a) In the source text ‘this International Standard’ should read ‘this Australian Standard’.
(b) A full point substitutes for a comma when referring to a decimal marker.
References to International Standards should be replaced by references to Australian or
Australian/New Zealand Standards, as follows:

INTRODUCTION
Introduction
This International Standard belongs to a complete group of product standards developed by ISO on external
hexagon drive fasteners. It comprises the following:
a) hexagon head bolts (ISO 4014, ISO 4015, ISO 4016 and ISO 8765);
b) hexagon head screws (ISO 4017, ISO 4018 and ISO 8676);
c) hexagon nuts (ISO 4032, ISO 4033, ISO 4034, ISO 4035, ISO 4036, ISO 7040, ISO 7041, ISO 7042,
ISO 7719, ISO 7720, ISO 8673, ISO 8674, ISO 8675, ISO 10511, ISO 10512 and ISO 10513);
d) hexagon bolts with flange (ISO 4162, ISO 15071 and ISO 15072);
e) hexagon nuts with flange (ISO 4161, ISO 7043, ISO 7044, ISO 10663, ISO 12125, ISO 12126 and ISO 21670).

Standards Australia
Standards Australia develops Australian Standards® and other documents of public benefit and national interest.
These Standards are developed through an open process of consultation and consensus, in which all interested
parties are invited to participate. Through a Memorandum of Understanding with the Commonwealth Government,
Standards Australia is recognized as Australia’s peak non-government national standards body.
Australian Standards®
Committees of experts from industry, governments, consumers and other relevant sectors prepare Australian
Standards. The requirements or recommendations contained in published Standards are a consensus of the views
of representative interests and also take account of comments received from other sources. They reflect the latest
scientific and industry experience. Australian Standards are kept under continuous review after publication and are
updated regularly to take account of changing technology.
International Involvement
Standards Australia is responsible for ensuring the Australian viewpoint is considered in the formulation of
International Standards and that the latest international experience is incorporated in national Standards. This role is
vital in assisting local industry to compete in international markets. Standards Australia represents Australia at both
the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) and the International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC).
Standards Australia wishes to acknowledge the participation of the expert individuals that
contributed to the development of this Standard through their representation on the
Committee and through the public comment period.
Standards may also be withdrawn. It is important that readers assure themselves they are
using a current Standard, which should include any amendments that may have been
published since the Standard was published.

This Standard was prepared by the Australian members of Joint Standards Australia/Standards New

After consultation with stakeholders in both countries, Standards Australia and Standards New

The objective of this Standard is to provide manufacturers, suppliers and users with the dimensions,

The objective of the revision is to adopt the current edition of ISO 4034.
This Standard is Part 3 of a four-part series on ISO metric hexagon nuts. The other parts give the

Part 4: Chamfered thin nuts—Product grades A and B
The product grade refers to the quality of the product and to the size of the tolerances where grade A
