- Aerospace and Defence Industries
Why should you use BS EN 3230 - Castellated hexagon nuts?
These castellated hexagon nuts have multitudes of properties that make them unique as well as very useful in aerospace applications. The nuts are hexagonal and are metal fasteners with six sides. Hexagonal nuts are widely used for their easy grasping property. They are used to secure a bolt to another object.
Slots cut into one end of the nut make these castellated nuts different from the rest and help in holding the objects in place effectively if used correctly. Great corrosion resistance is provided by Cadmium. All these properties together make it essential for these applications.
BS EN 3230 contributes to the standardization of castellated nuts in order to enhance the performance of these nuts, as aircraft applications are crucial and these nuts have critical application to keep the aircraft stable.
BS EN 3230 guidelines help manufacturers produce the most durable and efficient nuts and inform the customers about the high quality of these castellated hexagon nuts.
