Glossary of terminology on topics related to nuts and bolts, threaded fasteners and tightening techniques.

MOLYBDENUM DISULPHIDE
A solid lubricant that acts as a high pressure resistant film. Can be used by itself as a dry lubricant as well as in with other solid lubricants and in oils and greases. Used in threads, such lubricants act as a separating film to prevent corrosion formation on the thread surface (even under adverse temperature and environmental conditions) ensuring the release of the threaded connection. Such films can also act as friction stabilisers.

NICKED THREADS
Nicks or indentations in threads can occur during the manufacturing process and during fastener transportation. In general, nicked thread problems tend to increase as the thread diameter increases and for fine pitches.

There are acceptance tests for nicked threads that involve measuring the maximum torque required to drive a GO gauge down the thread. Examples of acceptance tests are SAE J123 and the Ford Motor specification WA990 1993. Nicks and indentations in threads are sometimes referred to as gouges.

NOMINAL DIAMETER
The diameter equal to the external diameter of the threads.

NUT DILATION
Under load, the wedging action of the threads causes dilation of the nut resulting in an increase in the minor diameter of the nut, and reducing the effective shear areas of both the external and internal threads.

 
 

NUT RUNNER
A torque control fastener tightening tool that is usually powered by compressed air.

The design of the tool is such that attempts are made to ensure that the applied torque is independent of joint stiffness.

NYLOC NUT
A torque prevailing nut that uses a nylon patented insert to provide a locking feature. The nylon insert, it is claimed, helps to seal the bolt thread against seepage of water, oil, petrol, paraffin and other liquids.

The nut is covered by UK patent 8028437 and European patent 81303450-1. Nyloc is a registered trade name of Forest Fasteners.

OVERTAPPING
Tapping of a thread following a plating operation so that the thread tolerances comply within specification allowing the internal and external threads to assemble.

It is normal practice to overtap the internal rather than the external thread.

OCTAGON HEAD
A bolt or screw whose head cross section is a regular polygon with 8 sides.
