BUYER QUESTIONSSourcing nuts from China
What should a nut RFQ include beyond “M10 hex nut”?
+
A useful nut RFQ names the controlling standard and edition (for example DIN 934 vs ISO 4032 vs DIN 6923 vs GB 6170 vs ASME B18.2.2), nut style (plain hex, hex-flange self-locking, hexagon-collar self-locking, or wedge self-locking), thread and tolerances, property class or material, finish, quantity, destination, and required documents. Standards listed on this page are discovery labels, not confirmed stock. Send one RFQ line per configuration—do not mix unfinished diameter, style, and class variants into a single line. Use the on-page RFQ starting point, then email [email protected] or WhatsApp +65 9869 5891 when the specification line is ready.
Are DIN 934, ISO 4032, and DIN 6923 catalogue rows interchangeable?
+
Do not assume interchange from a shared diameter band or the nickname “nut”. Compare dimensional and mechanical requirements against the edition you will buy—including flange contact face or locking features when those apply—and obtain engineering approval for any proposed substitution. Atlas lists DIN 934, ISO 4032, DIN 6923, GB 6170, and ASME B18.2.2 as discovery starting points, not as proof that two rows are interchangeable substitutes. Pick one controlling standard on the RFQ and state the edition string.

How should I read the DTFLOCK published diameter and class ranges on Atlas?
+
On the DTFLOCK rows published on this page, the metric hex-flange self-locking envelope is listed as M5–M20, and the metric hexagon-collar self-locking envelope is listed as M12–M48. Class references 8, 10, 12 and A2-70 are labels on those rows, not confirmed stock, and the cards state that not all combinations are confirmed. Those figures describe catalogue / archived inquiry leads, not current inventory and not a promise that active ordering status is verified. Do not merge the two envelopes into a single M5–M48 claim, and do not copy a cold/hot forge split from the hex-bolt or socket-head families onto nuts. Confirm style, diameter, class, and orderability in the supplier’s written reply. Contact: [email protected] · WhatsApp +65 9869 5891.
Which documents and samples are typical for nut sourcing?
+
Ask for material or property evidence and dimensional checks that match the order class—not a generic certificate title. Typical RFQ lines: sample loop yes/no; across-flats / height / flange dimensional report scope; material documentation as required by the buyer; packing and label marks. For self-locking styles, state any locking-performance or prevailing-torque evidence scope you will accept. Use https://honyawnatlas.com/knowledge/quality-documents/ for how to read issuer and lot linkage; this FAQ does not invent ISO or IATF numbers Atlas does not publish. List docs and samples on the first email so the sample loop and production quantity share one scope. Confirm acceptance in the supplier’s written reply before treating quote scope as agreed.
Can I put plain hex nuts and DTFLOCK self-locking / wedge nuts on the same RFQ line?
+
No—not automatically. The DTFLOCK cards on this page describe self-locking series (hex-flange M5–M20; hexagon-collar M12–M48). The DTF wedge row states a 30-degree wedge internal-thread concept as a company-published claim and that model-specific performance requires test evidence. Plain DIN 934 / ISO 4032 hex nuts differ in style, test scope, and acceptance from self-locking or wedge series—keep them on separate RFQ lines and name the series file you are quoting. Discovery standard lists on this page are not proof that a locking nut substitutes for a plain hex nut. Confirm style, class, and documents in writing before Agree.
