NOTE 1 The first element in the classifications (900 MPa) corresponds to the minimum tensile stress that the nut is able to withstand at ambient temperature without breaking or cracking when tested with a bolt of a higher strength class.
NOTE 2 The second element in the classifications is the maximum temperature that the nut is able to withstand, without permanent alteration to its original characteristics, after ambient temperature has been restored. The maximum temperature is conditioned by the material or by the surface treatment.
