316-series stainless steel flange bolting
ASTM A193 B8M Class 2 Stud Bolts with A194 Grade 8M Nuts
Factory-direct supply of common market sizes and order-specific assemblies for flange, valve and pressure-equipment joints. We review the complete bolting description before confirming supply.
ตอบด่วน
ASTM A193 B8M Class 2 identifies strain-hardened austenitic stainless steel bolting within ASTM A193/A193M. It is commonly paired with ASTM A194 Grade 8M nuts when the design and purchase specification call for this combination. B8M is associated with a 316-series stainless composition, while “Class 2” is a strength-condition designation and must not be omitted from the RFQ.
ASTM A193/A193M covers bolting for pressure vessels, วาล์ว, flanges and fittings in high-temperature, high-pressure or other special-purpose service. ASTM A194/A194M covers compatible high-pressure or high-temperature nuts. The applicable edition, ขนาด, thread series and design code remain purchase-order requirements.
Product and ordering specification

For a reliable quotation, the material grades must be accompanied by the dimensional and service information. A stud may be measured overall or by effective thread/engagement convention depending on the drawing. Nut height, across-flats dimensions, thread fit and washer requirements also need to match the selected bolting system.
Why Class 2 must be stated explicitly
Grade identifies material family
B8M identifies the molybdenum-bearing austenitic stainless bolting grade. It is not a complete strength or dimensional description.
Class identifies condition
ระดับ 2 designates a strain-hardened condition under the ordered ASTM requirements. Do not substitute Class 1 และชั้นเรียน 2 without engineering and purchaser approval.
Diameter affects requirements
Applicable mechanical-property requirements can depend on nominal diameter and the ordered edition. The final acceptance values should be read from that edition.
Documents confirm the order
Required certification, การติดตามความร้อน, test reporting and supplementary requirements must be stated in the RFQ and confirmed before production.
Matching ASTM A194 Grade 8M nuts
Grade 8M is the austenitic stainless nut grade normally specified with B8M bolting when the selected design calls for this pairing. Nut style, ขนาด, ชุดด้าย, class of fit and surface condition should be ordered together with the studs. ASTM A194/A194M does not allow grade substitution simply because another nut appears similar; any alternative requires purchaser and engineering review.
Stainless steel threaded assemblies can be sensitive to galling. Lubricant, installation speed, สภาพพื้นผิว, nut engagement and tightening method influence assembly behavior. Torque values should come from the project bolting procedure or qualified engineering calculation, not from a generic product-page number.
Inspection and documentation options
Identity and marking
Review grade/class marking, ขนาด, heat or lot identity and purchase-order traceability as required.
Dimensions and threads
Check diameter, ความยาว, ชุดด้าย, pitch, fit, nut dimensions and assembly quantity against the drawing or order.
Material documentation
Material certificates and test reports are supplied only to the agreed order scope. State the required document type in the RFQ.
Additional inspection
พีเอ็มไอ, การทดสอบเสริม, third-party inspection and special marking are order-specific and require confirmation.
การใช้งานทั่วไป
This bolting combination may be specified for stainless or corrosion-resistant flange joints, วาล์ว, ภาชนะรับความดัน, heat exchangers and process equipment. Typical sectors include chemical processing, การบำบัดน้ำ, food and beverage systems, pharmaceutical equipment, marine-related service and general industrial piping.
Application examples do not guarantee suitability. Temperature, chloride exposure, process chemistry, gasket system, วัสดุหน้าแปลน, แรงกดดันในการออกแบบ, cyclic loading and installation practice all influence the final selection.

คำถามที่พบบ่อย
What does ASTM A193 B8M Class 2 mean?
B8M identifies a 316-series austenitic stainless bolting grade. ระดับ 2 identifies the strain-hardened condition required by the ordered ASTM A193/A193M ฉบับ.
Are ASTM A194 Grade 8M nuts required with B8M Class 2 studs?
Grade 8M is the usual matching stainless nut grade when specified by the design. The governing code, purchaser specification and engineering review decide the final assembly.
Can you supply inch and metric sizes?
We can supply standard/common market inch and metric configurations. The RFQ must clearly state one dimensional system, มาตรฐานด้าย, diameter and length.
What is the fastest lead time?
Lead time can be as fast as 7 working days after technical and commercial confirmation. Size, ปริมาณ, material availability, inspection and packaging determine the actual schedule.
What packaging is available?
Common market and export packaging can be provided, including cartons, bags, wooden cases and order-specific protection. The final method is confirmed with the quotation.
