M30 Hex Nut Weight & Dimensions Chart
Unit weight and weight per 1,000 pcs of M30 hex nuts (width across flats per GB/T 6170, modeled nut height), computed as geometric volume × density on carbon steel, with kg/1000 pcs ↔ lb/100 pcs toggle — basis fully disclosed.
An M30 hex nut (carbon steel) weighs about 230 g per piece, i.e. about 230 kg/1000 pcs.

Unit and bulk weight (M30)
| Weight per piece (g) | Bulk weight (kg/1000 pcs) |
|---|---|
| 230 g | 230 kg/1000 pcs |
Nut Dimensions
| Nominal diameter d | 30 mm |
| Width across flats s | 46 mm |
| Nut height m | 24 mm |
Width across flats s follows GB/T 6170 (≈ ISO 4032) style-1 hex nuts; nut height m is our library's modeled dimension (ISO 4032:1999 / GB/T 6170-2000 series), identical to the catalog SKU and calculator parameters. Fine-thread nuts (GB/T 6171) share the same envelope, so this table approximates their unit weight.

Material Density Conversion
Values above are carbon steel (7.85 g/cm³); for other materials multiply by the density factor.
| Material | Density (g/cm³) | Factor |
|---|---|---|
| Carbon / Alloy Steel | 7.85 | ×1.000 |
| Stainless 304 | 7.93 | ×1.010 |
| Stainless 316 | 7.98 | ×1.017 |
| Brass | 8.5 | ×1.083 |
Basis of Calculation & Disclosed Assumptions
All values are computed as geometric volume × density (carbon steel 7.85 g/cm³, base metal, coating excluded) — no copyrighted standard tables are reproduced. Hex nut = hexagonal prism (across flats s) minus the tapped hole (effective diameter d − 0.5×pitch: the mean of thread major/minor diameters with face-chamfer allowance, calibrated family-wide against public per-1,000-pcs weight tables) — identical formula and parameters as the online weight calculator.
Boundary: theoretical geometric estimates for quotation, freight and packing budgets. Actual piece weight varies with thread tolerance, chamfer and coating (hot-dip galvanizing ≈ +4.5%); use measured values for trade settlement. Note the standards difference: withdrawn DIN 934 gave M12 a width across flats of 19 mm, while GB/T 6170 / ISO 4032 specify 18 mm — weights differ slightly. This chart uses GB/T 6170 across-flats with the library modeled nut height (ISO 4032:1999 / GB/T 6170-2000 series, same parameters as our catalog SKUs).

FAQ
How much does an M30 hex nut weigh?
About 230 g per piece on the carbon-steel basis (GB/T 6170), i.e. about 230 kg per 1,000 pcs. For stainless 304/316 multiply by the density factors ×1.010/×1.017.
How much do 1,000 M30 hex nuts weigh?
About 230 kg per 1,000 pcs on the carbon-steel basis (≈ 50.71 lb per 100 pcs); add packaging and coating allowances for shipping budgets (hot-dip galvanizing ≈ +4.5%).
What are the width across flats and height of an M30 hex nut?
Width across flats s = 46 mm (per GB/T 6170), nut height m = 24 mm (library modeled dimension, ISO 4032:1999 / GB/T 6170-2000 series — same parameters as our catalog SKUs), mating M30 bolts with 3.5 mm coarse pitch.
What nut and washers pair with an M30 bolt?
A matching M30 hex nut (GB/T 6170, about 230 g per piece); for flat washers (GB/T 97.1) and spring washers (GB/T 93) see our washer weight chart — both types side by side for the same size.
What basis are these weights calculated on?
Geometric volume × density (carbon steel 7.85 g/cm³, base metal, coating excluded): hexagonal prism minus the tapped hole — the same formula and parameters as the online weight calculator. Theoretical estimates — use measured values for trade settlement.
