ASTM A193
Scope Quick Links
Originally approved in 1936, this specification is heavily utilized in petroleum and chemical construction applications. The ASTM Hex Bolts
standard covers alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials for high temperature or high pressure service. This specification
A193 All Thread Rod
includes fasteners intended for use in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. Although, this material is often available
in national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, if being used in traditional applications, threads are specified 8 threads per inch (tpi) for ASTM A194
diameters above one inch. Thread Pitch Chart
Below is a basic summary of a few of the common grades. ASTM A193 covers a number of other standard specifications not covered in
this description including B5, B6, and B16.
