Stainless Steel ASME A194 B8 B8m Hex Nut with Bolt
Originally introduced in 1936, the ASME A194 specification is widely used in the oil and chemical industries. It covers both inch and metric fasteners, and it's particularly suited for high-temperature or high-pressure environments. This standard includes nuts, bolts, and other fastening components used in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. While most threads are available in national coarse (UNC) pitches, for diameters above one inch, the thread pitch is typically specified at 8 threads per inch.
