High-Quality Stainless Steel B8 and B8m Stud Bolts
First introduced in 1936, the ASTM A193 standard is widely used in the oil and chemical industries. This specification covers both inch and metric series fasteners. It includes alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials suitable for high-temperature or high-pressure applications. These bolts are commonly used in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. While they are often available with national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, for traditional applications, threads are typically specified at 8 threads per inch (TPI) for diameters above one inch.
