ASTM A193 Grade B8 class 2 Stainless steel 304 Heavy hex bolt
Heavy hex bolts are generally specified for high temperature or
high pressure applications, particularly where bolt heads will bear
against flanges. Standard diameters are 1/2″ and larger. The main
difference between a heavy hex bolt and a regular (or finished) hex
bolt is the distance across opposite flats of the hex. Heavy hex
bolts are 1/8 of an inch larger than a finished hex bolt of the
same diameter. The formula for determining hex size is
one-and-a-half times the diameter plus 1/8″.
A193 Grade B7: Alloy steel, AISI 4140 / 4142 quenched and tempered.
A193 Grade B8, Class 1: Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated.
A193 Grade B8, Class 2: Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated, strain

A193 Grade B8M, Class 1: Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated.
A193 Grade B8M, Class 2: Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated, strain
hardened.
A193 Grade B16: Alloy steel, chromium-molybdenum-vanadium, quenched and tempered.
