Product Code:SAE J484 Title:Alignment of Nut Slots (Cancelled Jan 1990, Superseded by ANSI/ASME/B 18.2.2) Issuing Committee:Fasteners Committee Scope:This method of gaging alignment of nut slots allows equal variations for location of the cotter pin hole in the bolt and location of slots in the nut. To inspect the nut, the slotted gage is inserted through the nut hole from the bearing surface of the nut. Alignment of slots is considered satisfactory if the gage pin can be slipped into the gage and nut slots without interference.
