ASTM A194/A194M-26 — Nuts for High-Pressure and High-Temperature Service
Procurement reference for carbon, alloy and stainless steel nuts used with compatible bolting in high-pressure or high-temperature service.
Edition control: ASTM A194/A194M-26 is listed as active in the official ASTM catalogue. Catalogue record checked: . Confirm the authorised publication and order requirements before use.
Scope in Procurement
ASTM A194/A194M covers specified carbon, alloy and stainless steel nuts for high-pressure or high-temperature service, or both. Procurement must identify the correct grade, class and compatible bolts or studs.
RFQ and Bolting Controls
- Nut type, dimensions, thread system and nominal size
- ASTM A194 grade, class and heat treatment
- Mating bolting specification, grade and class
- Service temperature, pressure and governing equipment code
- Proof-load testing, hardness, chemical composition and supplementary tests
- Coating, marking, packaging and galling controls
- Finished-lot traceability and inspection documents
A raw-material or semi-finished-product certificate alone does not establish compliance of the finished bolting component. Traceability must continue through manufacture, testing, marking and the released lot.
Scope Boundary
A matching material name does not prove assembly compatibility. The selected nut must be checked against the exact bolt or stud, required loads, service temperature, thread fit and governing project documents.
