Nuts

DSCF1109Compatible nuts for A193 bolts comply with ASTM A194. However, there are multiple grades within the A194 specification. The appropriate grade of A194 nut will be determined by the chemistry and strength of the fastener grade.  The chart below matches the compatible grade of nut with the specific grade of bolt. Nuts are heavy hex pattern, matching the width across the flats of the bolt head.

A193 Nut Compatibility Chart

Grade of Bolt A194 Heavy Hex Nut Grade
A193 Grade B7 2H or 4 or 7
A193 Grade B8 (Class 1 and 2) 8
A193 Grade B8M (Class 1 and 2) 8M
A193 Grade B7M 2HM
A193 Grade B16 4 or 7 or 16
A193 Grade B5 3
A193 Grade B6 6
For Class 2 stainless steel grades, strain hardened nuts available as a supplementary requirement
