MATERIALS-STUDBOLTS ASTM A193 B7 ASTM A193 specification covers alloy steel and stainless steel bolting material for pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings for high temperature or high pressure service, or other special purpose applications.Several grades are covered, including ferritic steels and austenitic stainless steels designated B5, B8, and so forth. Selection will depend upon design, service conditions, mechanical properties, and high temperature characteristics.Material according to ASTM A193 B7 is often available in national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, if being used in traditional applications, threads are specified 8 threads per inch (tpi) for diameters above one inch. ASTM A193, Grade B7 - a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum steel widely used for medium high-temperature service. MATERIALS-STUDBOLTS ASTM A320 L7 ASTM A320 specification covers alloy steel bolting materials for pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings for low-temperature service. Each alloy shall conform to the prescribed chemical composition requirements. The material, as represented by the tension specimens, shall conform to the requirements as to tensile properties such as tensile strength, yield strength, elongation, and hardness. The material shall meet the prescribed impact energy absorption requirements and the recommended test temperature. According to ASTM A320 mechanical tests shall be conducted on the material, namely: impact testing, tension testing, and hardness testing. Inside ASTM A320 several grades are covered, including both ferritic and austenitic steels designated L7, B8, etc. Selection will depend on design, service conditions, mechanical properties, and low-temperature characteristics The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each system must be used independently of the other. Combining values from the two systems may result in nonconformance with the specification. Like the ASTM A193 specification, unless otherwise specified, the 8UN thread series is specified on fastener larger than 1 in diameter. ASTM A320, Grade L7 - This grade is intended for low-temperature service down to minus 150F and has a minimum Charpy impact value of 15 ft-lb at this temperature. Sizes 2-1/2 in. and under MATERIALS-STUDBOLTS ASTM A320 L43 ASTM A320 specification covers alloy steel bolting materials for pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings for low-temperature service.
