ASTM A194 Grade 2H Heavy Hex Nuts

The ASTM A194 Grade 2H Heavy Hex Nut is the industry standard nut for high-pressure, high-temperature service. Manufactured from medium-carbon steel and subjected to quenching and tempering heat treatment, these nuts achieve a minimum proof load stress that is critical for holding tension in highly stressed flange joints. The Heavy Hex dimension provides a larger wrenching surface and greater bearing area, which is necessary to accommodate the high clamping forces of mating ASTM A193 Grade B7 stud bolts. These nuts are typically used in environments up to 427°C (800°F) in the oil & gas, petrochemical, and power generation sectors. Zeron Fasteners manufactures 2H nuts with precise threading (typically UNC) and clear stamping for full traceability.
