ASME 8 Bolting
ASME 8 Bolting
(OP)
If I use an A320 B8 bolt in an ASME 8 vessel the max temperature it can see is only 100F, If I use an A193 B8 bolt it can see 1500F. Why is this as both bolts are basically 304 stainless steel, with identical UNS number and mechanical properties?





RE: ASME 8 Bolting
I agree that the two are quite similar, especially for austenitic steels, but the fabricator has to choose one and to fulfil it.
