ASTM A194
Scope
Quick Links
The ASTM A194 specification covers carbon, alloy and stainless steel nuts intended for use in high-
pressure and/or high-temperature service. Unless otherwise specified, the American National
Standard Heavy Hex Series (ANSI B 18.2.2) shall be used. Nuts up to and including 1 inch nominal
ASTM A193
size shall be UNC Series Class 2B fit. Nuts over 1 inch nominal size shall be either UNC Series
Class 2B fit or 8 UN Series Class 2B fit. High strength ASTM A194 grade 2H nuts are common in
the marketplace and are often substituted for ASTM A563 grade DH nuts due to the limited availability of DH nuts in certain diameters
finishes.
