At Ananka Fasteners Pvt Ltd, we manufacture fasteners to the dimensional requirements of ASME B18.2.4.3M. ASME B18.2.4.3M covers the general and dimensional data for metric slotted hex nuts, which are hex nuts with radial slots cut into the top for use with a cotter pin through a drilled bolt. It defines width across flats, width across corners and overall thickness. The standard covers nominal sizes from M5 through M36.
