ASTM A197 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.

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
150 F and has a minimum Charpy impact value of 15 ft-lb at this temperature. Sizes 2-
1/2 in. and under.


ASTM A320 L43

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

diameter.

ASTM A320, Grade L43 - The same properties offered by Grade L7 in sizes up to 2-1/2
are obtainable up to 4 in. in Grade L43.

ASTM A193 B16

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

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.Below is a summary of a few of the
common grades.

ASTM A193, Grade B16 - a heat-treated chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel for high-
pressure, high-temperature service.


A193 B8

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
