ASTM A193 B8 / ASTM A194 B8 Fasteners Applications
ASTM A193 B8 bolts used with ASTM A194 B8 heavy hex nuts are widely applied in corrosion-resistant, non-chloride, and moderate-temperature service, where stainless steel fasteners are preferred over alloy steel.
- B8 Class 1 is suitable for standard corrosion-resistant bolting applications.
- B8 Class 2 is recommended where higher preload and increased mechanical strength are required.
- Not recommended for high-chloride or severe stress corrosion cracking environments—use B8M (316 SS) instead.
- Recommended Service Temperature: jusqu'à 425 °C (800 °F)
- Low-temperature performance: Good toughness, suitable for cryogenic service
- Non recommandé for chloride-rich or high-stress SCC environments (use B8M / 316 SS instead)

ASTM A193 B8 stud bolts combined with ASTM A194 B8 heavy hex nuts are corrosion-resistant austenitic stainless steel fasteners designed for service in mildly corrosive and elevated-temperature environments. Manufactured from Type 304 stainless steel, these fasteners provide reliable tensile strength, stable proof load performance, and secure flange connections in industrial systems where corrosion resistance is critical.
These bolting sets are produced in accordance with ASTM material standards, with UNC/UNF threads per ASME B1.1 and dimensional compliance to the ASME B18 series. Surface conditions typically include plain (natural stainless), passivated finish, or PTFE / Xylan coatings to reduce galling and improve installation performance.
Applications include ASME B16.5 / ASME B16.47 flanges, pressure vessels, piping systems, valves, pumps, chemical and petrochemical plants, food and pharmaceutical facilities, power generation auxiliaries, and general industrial equipment. Recommended service temperature is up to approximately 425 °C (800 °F), making ASTM A193 B8 / A194 B8 fasteners a dependable choice for corrosion-resistant, pressure-containing joints.
