Finished boltASTM A193/A193M Grade B8RS20910 · B8R bolting route

Specify the A193 class, edition, treatment and applicable A962/A962M requirements. Do not label high-strength XM-19 bar as a finished B8R bolt without the required tests.

The producer identifies B8R for bolts and 8R under A194 for nuts. Keep those product roles separate.

Raw material specificationASTM A276/A276M / ASTM A479/A479MUNS S20910

S20910 / XM-19 · stainless bar

Specify annealed or higher-strength worked condition. Generic Nitronic 50 bar strength does not identify a bolting class.

Dimensions · metricISO 4014 / ISO 4017Coarse pitch · partial-thread bolts / full-thread hex screws

Select head width s, height k and thread length b. These are dimensional references here; other alloys do not automatically conform to the full steel/stainless product standard. Fine-pitch geometry needs a separate drawing or applicable standard.

Dimensions · inchASME B18.2.1Inch hex bolts / hex cap screws

Select the bolt or cap-screw pattern, head dimensions and thread length. Hex and heavy hex are different choices.

Threads · metricISO 261 / ISO 965-1Metric M · pitch plan and tolerance system

State diameter × pitch and external tolerance class, e.g. M12 × 1.75–6g. Fine pitch must be written explicitly; 6g is a thread tolerance, not a strength grade.

Threads · UNC / UNFASME B1.1Unified inch · coarse / fine series

State diameter, TPI, series and external class: e.g. 1/2-13 UNC-2A or 1/2-20 UNF-2A. Select 2A / 3A with the mating-thread fit; UNC and UNF do not mate.

Technical help

Is high-strength XM-19 bar automatically an A193 B8R bolt?

B8R is a bolting route, while the bar condition describes the starting material. Specify the applicable A193 class, treatment, edition and final tests with A962/A962M requirements. Trace the completed bolt results to the ordered S20910 material.

Should I use B8R or 8R when specifying the matching components?

The producer reference identifies A193 B8R for bolts and A194 8R for nuts. Keep the component roles separate and confirm the ordered class, properties and thread fit for the actual assembly.
