Oil & Gas Sector
Oil & Gas Sector

Oil refineries are typically large, sprawling industrial complexes with extensive piping running throughout, carrying streams of fluids between large chemical processing units, such as distillation columns.

High temperature pipelines or cross country pipelines which are transporting fuel and crude oil often use alloy steel grade B-7, B-7M grade stud bolts for flange joints.

Stud bolts are available in multiple diameters and lengths combinations, metric and imperial, and in a variety of materials from carbon steel to alloy, stainless and nickel alloys (common grades are: ASTM A193 B7, L7, B8, B8M, B16, Alloy 20, Monel, Hastelloy, Inconel, 17-4PH, titanium, etc.).

The material of the hex steel nuts shall match the material of the threaded rod (generally, stud materials ASTM A193 match with nuts materials ASTM A194).

The ASME B16.5 specification covers stud bolts and nuts for ASME flanges

 

Recommended products for the industry

Heavy Hex Structural Bolt

Heavy hex structural bolts are designed for steel-to-steel connections and include ASTM A325 and A490 specifications, which covers bolts from 1/2” up to 1-1/2” in diameter. Since these heavy hex bolts are intended for structural connections, they have shorter thread lengths than standard hex bolts.

Heavy Hex Bolts are designed for use in a variety of high temperature, high strength industrial applications, such as with steel fabrication and general construction. They feature a thicker head than standard or regular hex bolts, and offer a greater bearing surface that distributes the clamping load over a wider area.

Hardened Steel Washer

Hardened washers are made physically stronger through hardening or carburizing, but are generally smaller in size than your standard washer. Hardened flat washers are designed with extra strength and can be used with Grade 8 bolts and other heat-treated fasteners.

Hardened steel washers are high-strength fasteners designed to provide superior load distribution and prevent wear in demanding applications. These washers are heat-treated to achieve maximum hardness and durability, making them ideal for use in heavy machinery, construction, and automotive assemblies. By offering increased resistance to deformation and corrosion, hardened steel washers ensure reliable and long-lasting performance in high-stress environments.
