    2. Grade 8S Nuts

    ASTM A194 Grade 8S Heavy Hex Nuts — UNS S21800

    High-performance stainless steel nuts for industrial and marine environments.

    ASTM A194/A194M Grade 8S Nuts are engineered for demanding industrial systems requiring excellent corrosion resistance and mechanical durability. These heavy hex nuts are suitable for offshore, marine, and chemical processing installations. They are frequently paired with ASTM A193/A193M bolting materials, ASTM A320/A320M low-temperature systems, ASTM A563M structural standards, and ASTM F2437/F2437M fastening applications.
