Hi there.
I haven't proposed it to the client yet as I cannot find the temperature rating for the Gr 8.8 Bolts.
The A320 L7's are Charpy tested to -195*F... I'd be happy with a -50*F rating , but still no luck on the temperature range for the 8.8's...
Our client spec calls for ASTM A320 Grade L7 Bolts for Low temperature service. We can readily purchase BS3692 Grade 8.8 Bolts.
Information on UTS, and YS is readily available but the temperature ratings are not.
Anyone out there have the temp ratings or any other significant differences...
