ASTM A193 Grade B7 and B8 Bolts
ASTM A193 B7 hex bolts are strong and reliable, making them ideal for medium-high temperature applications. To improve strength and toughness, they quench and temper the steel, making the bolts more durable. As a result, Grade B7 is the most commonly used type in construction and industrial applications. The ASTM A193 Grade B7 Bolts specification covers the requirements for bolting material made of high tensile alloy steel.
The ASTM B7 Hex Head Bolt is a threaded fastener that comes with a six-sided head. They have a larger surface-bearing area and thus offer better clamping. The ASTM A193 Grade B7 Bolts can be ideally used in high temperature and high pressure applications. This standard specification defines the typical chemical composition, mechanical properties, and other requirements of the material that is suitable for flanges, fittings, valves, pressure vessels, etc.
The material is good for cryogenic applications as well. Sometimes, the application surface of two components has to be fitted together. The ASTM A193 B8 threaded rod is used in such conditions. The screws are used in application conditions where there is no space for nuts and the fastener has to drive fully into the material surface. The B8 Studs can be used with bolts and nuts to tighten the components better. The composition provides the material with high strength and hardness.
ASTM A193 Grade B8 Bolts are high tensile steel bolts that are used in construction, chemical and petroleum industrial applications. There are class 1 and class 2 fasteners in this grade. The class 1 fasteners are standard whereas the class 2 fasteners are hardened. The class 2 is used where extra strength and hardness are needed. The ASME SA193 Grade B8 Hex Bolts can be used in medium and high temperature applications. Siddhagiri Metals & Tubes is a leading manufacturer and supplier of the different types of fasteners including the ASTM A193 B8 Bolts and others.
