    2. Grade 8A Nuts

    ASTM A194 Grade 8A Heavy Hex Nuts — UNS S30400

    Corrosion-resistant stainless steel nuts suitable for industrial and marine bolting systems.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 8A Nuts are stainless steel heavy hex nuts designed for superior corrosion resistance and reliable fastening performance. These nuts are suitable for chemical plants, offshore structures, and food-grade equipment installations. They are often used with ASTM A193/A193M stainless steel bolting and ASTM A320/A320M low-temperature fastening systems. ASTM A563M and ASTM F2437/F2437M standards are additionally referenced in fabrication, construction, and engineered fastening projects.
