Hex bolt VS Studbolt
Hex bolt VS Studbolt
(OP)
Hi everyone,
Could somebody explain/advise me as following detail:
-Why Hex bolt is not widely use in Oil & Gas industries? What is the reason that limit or restrict to use the Hex bolt ?
-When refer to API 570 & 510, Is it state any objection to use the Hex bolt?
-Any advantage and disadvantage to use the Hex bolt instead of Studbolt?
Thanks for any help.

FWIW, most of the biodiesel, ethanol, and vegetable oil extraction plants were built using Gr.5 machine bolts, *not* the needed heavy hex bolting. Guess they liked to go shopping at Tractor Supply, etc. instead of an industrial supply that carried heavy hex like B7's.
