    ASTM A194 Grade 8R Heavy Hex Nuts — UNS S20910

    High-strength stainless steel nuts for demanding fastening systems.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 8R Nuts are manufactured from advanced stainless steel materials for enhanced strength and corrosion resistance. These heavy hex nuts are suitable for marine, petrochemical, and industrial processing applications. They are often used with ASTM A193/A193M stud bolts and ASTM A320/A320M low-temperature fasteners, alongside ASTM A563M and ASTM F2437/F2437M fastening systems.
