ASTM A193 Grade B7, B7M, B16 Threaded Rod
Application: Primarily for fasteners such as bolts, nuts, and studs used in pressure vessels, steam turbines, reactors, and other high-temperature or high-pressure systems.
Materials: It covers several grades of materials that are designed to withstand elevated temperatures (up to 800°F or 427°C) and environments where strength and corrosion resistance are critical.
Grades: ASTM A193 includes various material grades, including Grade B7, Grade B7M, and Grade B16, which provide different levels of performance in terms of tensile strength, temperature tolerance, and corrosion resistance.
Testing Requirements: Fasteners made from materials complying with ASTM A193 are subjected to rigorous tests to ensure they meet the minimum tensile strength, yield strength, and elongation properties required for their
application.
