Manufacturer - Stud, Nut, Bolt - API Fastener

Studs

Studs are metal rods with threads either on full length or at both ends. These complement with Nuts to bind the two surfaces together

Material Grade: B7, B7M, L7, L7M

Geometry: ASME B18.31.2

Threads: ASME B1.1 - UNR; ASME B1.13M - Metric

Depending on the customer's specifications, chamfered ends are provided. Nominal Diameter sizes 5/8" - 3"

Nuts

Nuts feature internal threads that fit to create a strong attachment between the joining surfaces.

Material Grade: 2H, 2HM, 7, 7M

Geometry: ASME B18.2.2

Threads: ASME B1.1 - UN; ASME B1.13M - Metric

Nuts may either have both sides chamfered or have one side as washer-faced. Nominal Diameter sizes 5/8" - 3"

Bolts

Bolt, the counterpart of nut, feature an external, partially or fully threaded shaft. These have a head at one end.

Material Grade: B7, B7M, L7, L7M

Geometry: ASME B18.2.1

Threads: ASME B1.1 - UNR; ASME B1.13M - Metric

Depending on the customer's drawings, geometry is customised further. Nominal Diameter sizes 5/8" - 3"

Xylan Coated Nuts

Surface Protection

Coatings and electro-plating are provided only when required by our customers. These provide protection against corrosion to the product. The protection from exposure to elements is offered through our proven processes

Phosphated
PTFE Coated - Xylan
Black Oxide
Zinc Plated

Proven because, Our regular manufacturing process is such that we do not over-size the nuts or undersize the stud/ bolts - to allow for these coating. Our plating process based on ASTM F1941, does not induce hydrogen embrittlement and this has been tested. Further more, the salt spray test did not show any white and red rust.

Bolting Material

The below bolting grades are the regular grades that we manufacture. Stock of the raw material used to manufacture these is maintained. We understand the criticality of the role played by the fasteners and so the raw material is sourced only from the approved steel mills.

Stud Grade	Nut Grade	Raw Material Steel Grade
ASTM A193 B7	ASTM A194 2H	4140, 4142, 4145, 4140H, 4142H, 4145H
ASTM A320 L7	ASTM A194 7	4140, 4142, 4145, 4140H, 4142H, 4145H
ASTM A193 B7M	ASTM A194 2HM	4130, 4140, 4142, 4145, 4130H, 4140H, 4142H, 4145H
ASTM A320 L7M	ASTM A194 7M	4140, 4142, 4145, 4140H, 4142H, 4145H

Bolting Applications

Our bolting products are made to the withstand high pressure high temperature environments. We manufacture certified fasteners for Oil and Gas industry.
