I need to replace some 5/8-11 SHCS on a 20 year old pressure vessel. What grade bolts must I use? B7?

If the pressure vessel is an ASME vessel and it is registered with the National Board in Ohio, I would purchase the U-1 data sheetfrom them. ( about $25.00 as I recall)

The U-1 datasheet will tell you the original bolt material.

Other materials may be reasonable subsititutions.

As stated by vesselfab, temperature probably controls the material selection.

The ASME tank is rated for 110 PSI at 120°F
