What is ASTM A193 b8 bolts ? can it be used in high-temperature applications?

A bolt which is widely recommended for use case in high pressure services is an ASTM A193 B8 bolts. It follows the material standard ASTM A193.
This standard mainly covers for the bolting materials which are stainless steel, in high pressure and temperature services.

Therefore, it means that you can use ASTM A193 gr B8 bolt in high temperature scenarios.
SA 193 gr B8 chemical composition comprises 0.38% carbon, 0.75% manganese, max 0.035% phosphorous, 0.040% sulphur, 0.8% chromium and 0.15%-0.25% molybdenum contents.

Are there different packaging options available for SA 193 grade b8 hex bolt?

Customers also urge for the packaging options that are available for a ASME SA193 grade B8 hex bolts. Below are some of the ideal options that are available for this purpose:

  • Firstly, packaging of A193 B8 heavy hex bolts depends entirely upon the availability and the quantity demanded by the customer. Ideally, it comes in a box, securely sealed and then sent to them.
  • The packaging must be done in a way that it should not be damages. To avoid such situations, you can prefer boxes and bags, that mainly protect the products from scratches.
  • Fasteners are mainly known to be packed in bags that show tear-resistant behaviour.
  • Other than this, such packaging also provides cost affordability alternatives to the customers.

To know more about other relevant options, you can also refer to the A193 B8MLCuN stainless steel bolts specification. Many more resembling facilities are provided by us at Hiltonsteel, where we ensure that customers are aware of our functionality.

As a supplier, we specialise in providing SA193 grade b8 hex bolts in Mumbai that meet your exact specifications and regulatory requirements.

ASTM A193 B8 Vs B8M

The main difference between ASTM A193 B8 class 1 bolts and B8M bolts lie in their ability to resist corrosion.
When viewed from the chemical composition point of view, you would see that ss 304 is used for making a ASTM A193 grade B8 bolts.

This means that it comprises less nickel content, hence they cannot resist corrosive environments; because of the composition of bolts B8M from stainless steel 316; which comparatively have higher nickel contents.
More the contents of nickel, in addition to chromium, more corrosion resistant behaviour it exhibits to industrial needs and standards.

What are the strength and hardness ratings of SA 193 gr b8 socket head cap screws?

A198 Gr. B8 socket head cap screws are known to exhibit the hardness ratings and strength characteristics into two different property classes, which are as follows:
Property class one: Class 1 material

  • Excellent tensile strength characteristics with the value being 75 ksi.
  • It also shows good yield strength of 30 ksi.
  • Other than this it shows maximum 96 HRB hardness.

Property class two: A193 B8 Class 2 Material

  • Shows tensile strength value of 125 ksi.
  • Appreciating yield strength is shown by this material; value being 100 ksi.
  • Shows 321 HBW maximum hardness.
What are the top 8 applications of ASTM A193 grade b8 anchor bolts?

SA193 B8 Studs are widely used by industrial standards. Below are some of the industries that demand for them:

  • Chemical applications, where resistance to corrosion is a must factor. Appreciating corrosion resistance is show when one uses B8 bolts.
  • Shipbuilding processes, where temperature tolerance and hardness is needed.
  • Power plants, which require high pressure condition tolerance. With the two classes of tensile strength, it is clear that it shows excellent strength characteristics.
  • Fertilization process also aspire for such bolts.
  • Cement applications make use of such bolts to handle stress related situations. To avoid wear and tear, it is essential for its use case.
  • Oil and gas industries, where usually the temperature conditions and pressure conditions are high. This bolt makes sure that no degraded properties are seen, hence industries demand for it.
  • For elevated temperatures, we would require this bolt in petrochemical industries.
  • Sugar industry also aspire for such bolts, for their industrial applications.
Are b8 stainless steel bolts corrosion-resistant?

Because A193 gr B8 bolts are composed and manufactured from stainless steel 304, they offer excellent resistance to corrosion. This is because they comprise nickel and chromium contents in higher amounts in the chemical mixture.
Adding to this, most of the oxidizing acids are also resisted by ASME SA193 B8 nuts.
