Grade A Heavy Hex Nut

ASTM A563 Grade A heavy hex nuts are made from carbon steel. Dimensional specifications are governed by ASME B18.2.2. Grade markings are not required for A563 Grade A heavy hex nuts, though in some cases Grade A nuts may be marked with the letter A. ASTM A563 covers standard specifications for carbon and alloy steel nuts. Heavy hex nuts provide increased bearing surface area over finished nuts.
