Product Overview
ASTM A193 Grade B16 screws are high-strength alloy steel fasteners manufactured for use in high-pressure, high-temperature bolting applications. Produced from chromium-molybdenum-vanadium steel, these screws are quenched and tempered to achieve superior mechanical properties, including a minimum tensile strength of 860 MPa (125 ksi). ASTM A193 B16 screws are engineered for critical service in petrochemical, power generation, and refinery piping systems, especially where elevated temperatures up to 593°C (1100°F) are encountered.
These screws are specified for bolting pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings in environments where standard B7 fasteners may not provide adequate strength or creep resistance. All material is fully traceable and supplied with EN 10204 3.1 or 3.2 certification for demanding EPC and maintenance projects.
