Galvanizing coating thickness for Nuts
February 24, 2009
Hello Sir,
We are using Galvanized Nuts for Fastening Bolts M20. The specification for galvanizing thickness needs a coating of 54 Microns. But when I measured the thickness and average between 32 to
40 is achieved. Is this acceptable? Do you know where can I get a table or chart for Galvanized coating thickness for Fasteners & Nuts.
Looking forward to your assistance.

Simple! If the spec states 54 micron, then anything less fails. Is
40 good enough depends on who you are making the parts for.
