Overview - EN 2810:2001 (Aerospace series nuts)
EN 2810:2001 is a CEN/AECMA aerospace standard that specifies the characteristics of hexagon slotted (castellated) nuts, reduced height, normal across flats, manufactured in heat-resisting steel and passivated. The standard defines the product classification: 900 MPa (at ambient temperature) / 650 °C, covering dimensional, material and surface-treatment requirements for use in high-stress and high-temperature aerospace applications.
Key topics and technical requirements
- Scope & classification
- Applies to hexagonal slotted/castellated nuts with reduced height, normal across flats.
- Classification: 900 MPa minimum tensile stress at ambient temperature; maximum service temperature 650 °C (see standard for conditioning by dimensions).
- Dimensions & configuration
- Dimensional requirements reference ISO 9618 (nut dimensions) and include diameter codes, slot geometry and mass data (tabled in the standard).
- Diameter-code designation (example: EN2810-080) and style codes (040–070 = N, 080–240 = C).
- Tolerances & form
- Tolerances of form and position are specified in ISO 8788.
- Threads
- Intended for aerospace MJ threads; limit dimensions per ISO 5855-2.
- Materials
- Material guidance and selection referenced to TR 3823 (heat-resisting steels for nuts).
- Surface treatment
- Passivation and decontamination requirements per EN 2516, with process class appropriate to the material.
- Marking & identification
- Marking requirements follow EN 2424; identification and designation format specified.
- Quality & procurement
- Manufacturer approval and QA requirements per EN 2000; procurement/specification guidance per ISO 9139.
- Related parts
- Split pins and retention hardware referenced to EN 2367.
Practical applications - who uses EN 2810
- Aerospace fastener manufacturers - to design and produce compliant castellated nuts for high-temperature components.
- Aerospace design and structural engineers - to specify correct nut classifications (900 MPa / 650 °C) for engine, exhaust, hot-structure and turbine applications.
- Procurement and quality assurance teams - for vendor approval, acceptance criteria and traceability consistent with EN 2000 and EN 2424.
- Maintenance, repair and overhaul (MRO) organizations - to verify replacement fasteners meet required heat-resisting and passivation standards.
- Certification bodies - to assess conformity of nuts used in safety-critical or high-temperature aerospace assemblies.
Related standards (for specification & implementation)
- ISO 9618 - Dimensions for hexagonal slotted nuts
- ISO 8788 - Tolerances of form and position
- ISO 5855-2 - MJ thread limit dimensions
- ISO 9139 - Procurement specification for plain/slotted nuts
- EN 2516 - Passivation of corrosion-resisting steels
- EN 2424 - Marking of aerospace products
- EN 2000 - Quality system approval for aerospace manufacturers
