Galvanized Hex Nut to GB/T 41 (Product Grade C, Class 4.0)
Galvanized Hex Nut to GB/T 41 (Product Grade C, Class 4.0)
Thegalvanized hex nut to GB/T 41 is a product grade C hexagon nut in property class 4.0, manufactured in galvanized carbon steel. It is the standard matching nut for the GB/T 5780 hex bolt and is widely specified by domestic shipyards for cargo hold plates, brackets and light structural fixings in newbuilding projects.
What Is a GB/T 41 Hex Nut?
GB/T 41 specifies hexagon nuts of product grade C with a thread per the metric coarse-pitch system. Class 4.0 nut corresponds to a proof load rating that is compatible with class 4.8 bolts, meaning the nut strength is matched to the bolt for a complete and safe assembly. Grade C nuts have larger tolerances and are the economical commercial choice for general marine assembly work.

FAQ
Why is class 4.0 nut used with 4.8 bolt?
A class 4.0 nut has sufficient proof stress to match a class 4.8 bolt, so the bolt remains the design-critical part. This is the standard pairing per GB/T 3098.2 for commercial grade C assemblies.
Can you supply galvanized nuts with different coatings?
Yes, we offer electroplated zinc per GB/T 5267.1 or hot-dip galvanized per GB/T 13912, depending on the corrosion requirement of your application.
