ASTM A193 Grade B7 Stud Bolts

The ASTM A193 Grade B7 Stud Bolt is the definitive high-strength, high-temperature fastener used in flanged joints across the petrochemical, power generation, and oil & gas industries. Manufactured from an Alloy Steel (Chromium-Molybdenum steel) and quenched and tempered, B7 material offers superior tensile and creep rupture strength for service temperatures up to 450°C (842°F). These fasteners are typically continuous threaded rods supplied with two ASTM A194 Grade 2H Heavy Hex Nuts. The precise threading and material strength are essential for inducing the high pre-load required to maintain a leak-proof seal in critical pressure piping applications. Zeron Fasteners manufactures and supplies B7 Stud Bolts to ASME B16.5 and ASME B16.47 flange dimensions, often with protective coatings like PTFE.
