Foreword
This standard has been prepared by Working Committee NA 067-00-03 AA Verbindungselemente mit
metrischem Innengewinde of the Normenausschuss Mechanische Verbindungselemente (FMV) (Fasteners
Standards Committee).

The DIN 929:1972-12 edition assigned the property class 8 to hexagon weld nuts, adding ‘weldable’. Since
then, proof loads for nuts have been increased and new nut heights specified in international (and European)
specifications (see DIN EN ISO 898-2).

Neither in this nor in the previous revision of this standard did it seem advisable to increase the height of weld
nuts and thus harmonize it with the calculation basis for nuts with full loadability, since weld nut mounting is
largely automated. Changing nut dimensions would have caused major difficulties which would not have been
outweighed by a slightly greater resistance to stripping.

Therefore, this latest edition of this standard leaves nut dimensions unchanged, without specifying property
classes. Instead, it only specifies steel with a maximum carbon content of 0,25 % and relevant proof loads.
The proof loads of weld nuts specified in this standard are deemed sufficient to form fully loadable screw
connections with bolts of a property class < 8.8. Weld nuts with a higher loadability are specified in
DIN EN ISO 21670.

The DIN 4000-161-5 tabular layout of product properties applies to weld nuts covered by this standard.

Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent
rights. DIN shall not be held responsible for identifying any or all such patent rights.

Amendments

This standard differs from DIN 929:2000-01 as follows:

Normen-Download-Beuth-Normes et Documentation NORMADOC-KdNr.3801241-LfNr.9668707001-2021-02-25 18:16

a) normative references have been updated;

b) in Table 1 and Table 4, the number of positions after the decimal comma has been harmonized;

c) according to DIN ISO 965-1, symbol d1 has been changed to D;

d) symbols d2 to d5 have been changed to d1 to d4;

e) Table 2 replaces 4.1 to 4.3, 4.5 and 4.6;

f) the standard has been editorially revised.

DIN 929:2013-05 contained an error that has been corrected as follows:

a) In Table 1, the limit deviations for h1 and h2 included in the standard preceding the May 2013 edition
have been re-included.

1 Scope
This document specifies requirements for hexagon weld nuts with coarse metric threads from sizes M3 to M16
and with fine pitch metric threads with nominal diameters from 8 mm to 16 mm in product grade A.

According to DIN EN ISO 898-1, weld nuts specified in this standard are suitable for connection with bolts of
property class < 8.8.

This standard does not apply to hexagon weld nuts with flange as specified in DIN EN ISO 21670.
