SPECIFICATION FOR CARBON AND ALLOY STEEL
NUTS FOR BOLTS FOR HIGH-PRESSURE OR
HIGH-TEMPERATURE SERVICE, OR BOTH
SA-194)
/SA-194M.
(Adenia with ASTM Specification A I94/A L94M-Ola excepe forthe ation of para 6.7)
Scope
1.1. This specification covers a variety of carbon, alloy,
‘and martensitic stainless steel nuts in the size range
through 4 in. and metric M6 through M100 nominal. Tt
also covers austenitic stainless steel nuts in the size range
in. and M6 nominal and above. ‘These nuts are intended
for high-pressure or high-temperature service, or both
Grade substitutions without the purchaser’s permission are
not allowed.
1.2. Bars from which the nuts are made shall be hot:
‘wrought. The material may be further processed by cen
terless grinding or by cold drawing, Austenitic stainless
sicel may be solution annealed or annealed and strain-
hardened, When annealed and strain hardened austenitic
stainless ste! is ordered in accordance with Supplementary
Requirement $1, the purchaser should take special care
to ensure that 7.2.2, Supplementary Requirement S1, and
Appendix XI are thoroughly understood.
1.3. Supplementary requirements (S1 through $6) of an
‘optional nature are provided. These shall apply only when
specified in the inquiry, contract, and order.
1.4. This specification is expressed in both inch-pound
units and in SI units. However, unless the order specities
the applicable °M" specification designation (SI units), the
material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
15. The values stated in either inch-pound units or ST
units are to be regarded separately as standard, Within the
text, the ST units are shown in brackets. The values stated
in each system are not exact equivalents; therefore, each
system must be used independently of the other. Combining,
Values from the two systems may result in noneom=
formance with the specification
