    2. Grade 16 Nuts

    ASTM A194 Grade 16 Heavy Hex Nuts

    Alloy steel heavy hex nuts for demanding industrial fastening applications.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 16 Nuts are engineered for high-strength fastening systems used in industrial and petrochemical sectors. These nuts provide excellent mechanical performance for pressure vessel and piping assemblies. They are regularly paired with ASTM A193/A193M bolting materials and ASTM A320/A320M fasteners in temperature-controlled applications. ASTM A563M and ASTM F2437/F2437M standards further support their use in structural and engineered systems.
