What is a Stud Bolt?


In Petro & chemical industry for flange connections Stud Bolts are used. The Stud Bolt can be defined as a threaded rod with 2 heavy hexagon nuts. The number of bolts for a flange connection will be given by the number of bolt holes in a flange, diameter and length of bolts is totally dependent of flange type and Pressure Class of flange.

Stud Bolt length are defined in (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) ASME B16.5 standard. The length in inches is equal to the effective thread length measured parallel to the axis, from the first to the first thread without the chamfers points. First thread is described as the intersection of the major diameter of the thread with the base of the point.

Threads of the Stud Bolts


Bolts threading are described in (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) ASME B1.1 Unified Inch Screw Threads, (UN and UNR Thread Form). The most common type of thread is a symmetrical form with a V-profile. The included angle is 60 degree. This form is commonly used in the Unified thread (UN, UNC, UNF, UNRC, UNRF) form as the ISO / metric threads.

The advantage of a symmetrical threads is that they are easier to produce and inspect as compared to the non-symmetrical threads. These are usually used in general purpose fasteners.

Thread sequence cover designations of diameter / pitch combinations that are measured by the number of threads per inch (TPI) applied to a single diameter.

Materials for the Stud Bolts


Dimensions from Stud Bolts are described in the (American Society of Mechanical Engineers) ASME B16.5 standard. The material qualities for stud bolts are described in the different (American Society for Testing and Materials) ASTM standards, and are indicated by Grade. Commonly used grades are A193 for thread rods and A194 for the nuts.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A193 covers a group of alloy and stainless steel bolting material for pressure vessels, Valves, flanges, and fittings for high temperature or high pressure service, or other special purpose applications.

American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A194 covers a group of carbon, alloy, and martensitic and austenitic stainless steel nuts. These nuts are meant for high pressure or high temperature service, or both.

Marking of Stud Bolts


Thread rods and nuts should be marked by the manufacturer with a unique identifier to identify the manufacturer or private label distributor, as appropriate.

What is a Socket Screw?

Socket Screws Socket screws are a kind of screw designed and manufactured using an internal hexagonal (hexagonal) drive built into the head. As such, they are designed to be tightened and loosened with an Allen wrench or hex key, as opposed to a standard screwdriver. This is the key feature which sets a socket screw apart from other screw head drive styles like the Phillips head screw, slotted, flathead screws, and Pozidriv screws to name just a few. Another common distinction is that socket screws are usually squared off at the tip. These are normally referred to as flat point socket screws and they tend to be the most widely used kind found in many common applications. Although, it is worth noting that several other designs are also available. In most other regards, there is not generally much physical difference between socket screws and standard screws for the majority of everyday uses. So what exactly is the point of a socket screw, and when should you use it? Basically, so

What is a Hex Bolt?

What is a Hex Bolt? A Hexagon Bolt, commonly known as Hex Bolts , are threaded fasteners with a hexagonal head shape. This type of bolt is made to be installed using a spanner. Hexagon Bolts are preferred for their robust shape, which makes them suitable for more heavy duty fastening applications. Hexagon bolts are also usually available in larger sizes than alternative fasteners. Hex bolts are six sided heads that are the industry standard for fasteners with forged heads. American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) A307 grade A bolts, all SAE hex bolts, and various other common specifications require a standard (finished) hex head. For specifications such like as A307 grade B, A325 and A490 that require a heavy hex pattern, points to dimensional tolerances for heavy hex bolts or structural bolts. Hex Bolts Hex Bolts are known as • Hex head bolts  • Cap screws  • Hex cap screws  • Hex head cap screws  • Machine bolts  • Hex machine bolts  • Hex head machine bolts  •
