Product Overview

What are ASTM A193 Grade B16 Washers?

ASTM A193 Grade B16 washers are high-strength alloy steel flat washers manufactured to support bolted joints in high-pressure, high-temperature, and petrochemical applications. Produced from chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, these washers are designed to complement Grade B16 bolts and studs, providing reliable load distribution and resistance to stress relaxation at elevated temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F).

ASTM A193 B16 washers are commonly specified for use with pressure vessel flanges, heat exchangers, and refinery piping systems where both mechanical strength and creep resistance are critical. All washers are supplied with full traceability and certification to ASTM A193/A194 and EN 10204 3.1 standards.

Material Chemistry

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Chemical Composition

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Washers are manufactured from chromium-molybdenum alloy steel with Cr (0.8–1.1%), Mo (0.15–0.65%), and vanadium additions in B16 grades, controlled per ASTM and ASME SA-193. Cr-Mo additions raise hardenability and creep rupture strength for pressure vessel service; vanadium in B16 extends the allowable service temperature to 538°C.

Why ASTM A193 Grade B16 Alloy Composition Matters for Washers

Cr-Mo-V Alloy — High-Temperature Strength
Chromium, molybdenum, and vanadium combine to provide ASTM A193 Grade B16 washers with excellent creep resistance and mechanical stability at temperatures up to 593°C, making them ideal for petrochemical and power plant bolted joints.
Controlled Carbon & Manganese
The specified carbon and manganese content ensures a balance of hardness and ductility, preventing washer cracking under high bolt loads and thermal cycling.
Low Phosphorus & Sulfur
Strict limits on phosphorus and sulfur minimize the risk of embrittlement and intergranular corrosion, ensuring long-term reliability in aggressive service environments.

?? Washer selection: Always match washer hardness to bolt grade. For B16 bolts, use only B16 or higher hardness washers to prevent embedding and loss of preload.

Industry Applications

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Washers Applications — Industries & End Uses

ASTM A193 Grade B16 Washers from RealBolt are specified across oil and gas pressure vessels, power generation, and petrochemical where very good corrosion resistance and 620 MPa tensile strength are required for reliable fastener performance. Click each industry below for detailed application examples.
ASTM A193 Grade B16 washers are specified for use with B16 bolts and nuts in high-pressure vessel flanges, heat exchangers, and reactor closures in refineries and petrochemical plants. Their high hardness and creep resistance ensure reliable load distribution under thermal cycling and sustained pressure.
Flat and spring washers for steam turbine casings, HRSG ducting, and boiler manways where high-temperature strength and resistance to stress relaxation are critical for maintaining gasketed joint integrity.
Used in bolted joints for process piping, reactors, and pressure vessels handling aggressive chemicals at elevated temperatures, where standard carbon steel washers would fail due to softening or corrosion.
Washers for flange joints in gas transmission pipelines, compressor stations, and metering skids, providing secure load transfer and preventing bolt head embedding in high-pressure service.

Yes – ASTM A193 Grade B16 washers are engineered for continuous service up to 593°C (1100°F) and maintain hardness and load distribution under thermal cycling. They are ideal for steam, refinery, and power plant bolted joints where standard washers would soften or lose preload.
ASTM A193 Grade B16 washers are specifically designed for use with B16 bolts and nuts, but can also be used with other high-strength alloy steel fasteners (such as B7 or L7) where matching hardness is required. Always ensure washer hardness is equal to or greater than the bolt grade to prevent embedding.
