Hex Bolt

B8M Grade 1 fasteners require carbide solution treatment, while Grade 2 fasteners require additional strain hardening operations to increase strength and reduce susceptibility to wear.

ASTM A194 specification covers carbon, alloy and stainless steel nuts for high pressure and/or high temperature service. American National Standard Heavy Duty Hex Series (ANSI B 18.2.2) shall be used unless otherwise specified. Nuts no more than 1 inch in nominal size shall conform to UNC Series Class 2B.

Nuts with a nominal size over 1 inch shall be a UNC Series Class 2B fit or an 8 UN Series Class 2B fit. High strength ASTM A194 grade 2H nuts are common in the market and are often replaced by ASTM A563 grade DH nuts due to the limited availability of DH nuts in certain diameters and finishes.

ASTM A194 Class 2h bolts are carbon base steel heavy duty hex nuts. Sa194-2h material is a common high strength nut. This specification ASTM A194 Class 2h washers are typically used in conjunction with the following fastener standards – A193 Class B7, A325, A490.

ASTM A194 2H Heavy Duty Hex Bolts are the core product and are in stock. HT PIPE is a leading supplier of ASTM A194 2H Heavy Duty Hex Nuts. These are heavy duty hex nut type bolts as directed by ASTM A-193 specification.

ASTM A320 L7 Stud Bolts are designed for low temperature performance. These fasteners are commonly used in valves, flanges, fittings and pressure vessels. The ASTM specification recommends a minimum impact value of 20-ft-lbf -150F for ASTM A320 L7 studs.

The A320 Gr L7 stud material will undergo the following parametric tests – Impact Test, Tensile Test and Hardness Test according to the mechanical specification of A320 Grade L7 Bolts. The specification of A320 Gr L7 Hdg covers several grades of stainless steel including austenitic and ferritic stainless steels.
