What is ASTM A307 Grade B?

ASTM A307 Grade B is a low-carbon steel bolt specification for flanged pipe joints in piping systems not subject to fatigue or high-temperature service. It covers hex bolts and studs with tensile strength 414–586 MPa. Grade B bolts are ductile enough to achieve required gasket seating stress without brittle fracture in over-tightening. A307 Grade B bolts are used in low-pressure steam, water and gas pipe flange connections with full-face gaskets per ASME B31.1 (low-pressure) and ASME B16 (small bore). For refinery and high-temperature flanges, A193 B7 is the correct specification.

ASTM A307 Grade B Chemical Composition

ASTM A307 Grade B fasteners are manufactured from low carbon steel with controlled amounts of carbon, manganese, phosphorus and sulfur. Carbon content provides moderate strength while keeping the material ductile and easy to machine into bolts, studs and nuts. Manganese enhances hardenability and tensile strength without compromising toughness, while restricted phosphorus and sulfur levels reduce brittleness and improve weldability. This balanced chemistry ensures consistent mechanical performance suitable for standard fastener applications requiring moderate strength rather than high-stress load bearing.

These fasteners offer good machinability, reliable mechanical performance and cost-effective production, making them ideal for flanged piping systems, cast iron fittings and general industrial assemblies. Grade B specifically supports controlled hardness limits, which improves compatibility with cast iron flanges by minimizing the risk of flange cracking. While not designed for high-temperature or highly corrosive environments, A307B fasteners provide dependable strength, dimensional stability and long-term structural reliability across a wide range of low to moderate stress fastening applications.

Applications

ASTM A307 Grade B Fastener Applications

ASTM A307 Grade B Fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries are specified wherever corrosion resistance, elevated-temperature strength, or chemical media compatibility is critical to fastener performance. Primary industries and end-uses for ASTM A307 Grade B fasteners include flanged joints in piping systems; 60-100 ksi tensile range.
Grade B was developed for low-strength bolting in flanged joints in piping systems, especially where cast iron flanges need controlled clamping force rather than high-strength alloy bolts.
Used for water, air, condensate and other noncritical services within the temperature and pressure limits of the piping code. It is selected when 60 ksi carbon steel bolting is adequate.
Suitable for machinery guards, brackets, supports and maintenance assemblies where standard carbon steel strength and economical replacement are more important than high preload capacity.
Hot dip galvanized or mechanically zinc coated ASTM A307 Grade B bolts are used for moderate outdoor exposure. Coating selection should consider thread allowance, nut compatibility and the limited corrosion resistance of zinc in marine or chemical environments.

Frequently Asked Questions About ASTM A307 Grade B Fasteners

Browse the questions below to get quick, expert answers about ASTM A307 Grade B Fasteners — covering alloy specifications (Low Carbon), applicable standards (ASTM A307), temperature ratings, corrosion performance, and how to source certified ASTM A307 Grade B fasteners from RealBolt Engineering Industries.
A307 Grade B is specified for pipe flange bolting (ASME B16.5 and B16.47 low-pressure, utility service). The Grade B designation on MTC is required by some inspection authorities and ASME codes for pipe flange bolts. Grade A is not listed in ASME B16.5 flange bolt tables.
A307 Grade B is limited to approximately 300°C by ASME Section VIII. Above this temperature, creep relaxation causes loss of bolt load and gasket blowout. For service above 300°C, A193 B7 (427°C limit) or B16 (538°C limit) must be specified.
ASTM A563 Grade A or Grade C heavy hex nuts. Grade 2H (A194) nuts are typically used with A307B for pipe flange applications. Nut strength must be matched to bolt strength to prevent thread stripping.
Generally not — Class 300 and above flanges are typically specified with A193 B7 studs for adequate preload and pressure capacity. A307B is used for Class 125 and 150 cast iron and ductile iron flanges in low-pressure utility service per ASME B16.1.
