Stainless Steel Bolt ASME A194 B8 B8m M27 Hexagonal Nut
First approved in 1936, this specification is widely used in the petroleum and chemical industries. The ASME A194 standard covers both inch and metric fasteners. It applies to alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials for high-temperature or high-pressure environments. This standard includes fasteners used in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. While common coarse threads (UNC) are available, for diameters above one inch, threads are typically specified at 8 threads per inch (TPI).
