Stainless Steel ASME A194 B8 B8m Hexagonal Nut with Bolt
Originally approved in 1936, the ASME A194 specification is widely used in petroleum and chemical construction industries. This standard covers both inch and metric series products and includes fasteners for use in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. Although commonly available in national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, for traditional applications, threads are specified at 8 threads per inch (TPI) for diameters above one inch. The ASTM standard applies to alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials used in high temperature or high pressure environments.
