ASTM A193
The ASTM standard covers alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials for high temperature
or high pressure service. This specification includes fasteners intended for use in pressure vessels,
valves, flanges, and fittings. Although, this material is often available in inational 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 basic summary of a few of the common grades. ASTM A193 covers a number of other
standard specifications not covered in this description including B5, B6, and B16.
