High-Temperature ASME SA 194 Grade 2H Hex Nut Manufacturer in India in Custom Dimensions

Flange joints fail at the nut long before they fail at the stud, which is why buyers in South Africa, the UAE, Kenya and Canada come to us for ASTM A194 2H Nuts they can bolt up without re-tapping. Each ASTM A194 Grade 2H nut is quenched and tempered above 1100°F, held between 248 and 327 HBW, and tapped after heat treatment so the Class 2B thread runs clean on a B7 stud straight out of the keg.

Our Mumbai works carries 1/4″ through 4″ in ASTM A194 2H heavy hex, ASTM A194 Grade 2H coupling nut and jam forms, with the softer A194 2HM heavy hex jam nut variant on the shelf for sour service lines. Because we forge, temper and tap under one roof, a shutdown enquiry does not travel through three traders before it reaches a machine. Send the size list, the stud grade it mates with and the coating you need, and our bolting desk confirms stock, proof load documentation and dispatch date in a single reply.

ASTM A194 2H Nuts Vs ASTM A194 2HM Nuts

ASTM A194 2H Nuts Manufacturer in Mumbai explains hardness tempering and service differences separating Grade 2H from Grade 2HM fasteners.

ASTM A194 Grade 2H

  • Tempering: 1100°F (593°C) minimum
  • Hardness: 248–327 HBW / 24–35 HRC
  • Mates With: A193 B7 studs
  • Best For: Sweet service, steam, general flange work
  • Marking: 2H

ASTM A194 Grade 2HM

  • Tempering: 1150°F (620°C) minimum
  • Hardness: 159–235 HBW, capped at 22 HRC
  • Mates With: A193 B7M studs
  • Best For: H2S sour service to NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156

ASTM 2h Thin Square Nuts Pairing Guide

The stud, not the flange, decides the nut order, and this is exactly the pairing logic our bolting desk applies when only a stud grade is shared.

ASTM A193 B7Grade 2H is the reference nut – the standard refinery and petrochemical flange combination.
ASTM A193 B7MTake Grade 2HM instead, so both stud and nut sit under the sour service hardness cap.
ASTM A193 B16Elevated temperature alloy studs normally call for A194 Grade 4 or Grade 7 nuts.
ASTM A320 L7 / L7MLow temperature service needs impact-tested Grade 4, 7 or 7M – Grade 2H has no Charpy requirement.
ASTM A193 B8 / B8MStainless studs pair with A194 Grade 8 or 8M nuts to avoid a galvanic and strength mismatch.
Structural BoltingASTM A563 Grade DH is the usual heavy hex nut here, with 2H accepted where the specification allows it.

13 · Assembly Process

A194 2HM Heavy Hex Jam Nuts Fit Up Process

Before a coated stud and nut pair ever reaches site, four checks ensure they'll run together smoothly.

1

Coat The Stud First

The stud thread is galvanised before the mating nut is finish-tapped.

2

Overtap The Nut

Nut threads are cut oversize so coating build-up on the stud still clears.

3

Lubricate The Thread

Overtapped galvanised nuts are supplied waxed to control assembly friction.

4

Trial Assemble

Sample pairs are run together in our bay before the lot is packed.

Ordering Galvanised ASTM A194 Gr 2H Heavy Hex and Coupling Nut?

Coating happens before overtapping here, which means your studs turn by hand, not by hammer.

14 · How It’s Made

ASTM A 194 Gr 2H Castle Nuts Manufacturing Process

Inside our own units, every nut goes through hot forging, quenching, tempering and tapping, in a sequence that matters just as much as the steel itself.

1

Bar Shearing

Carbon steel bar sheared to slug weight for the nut size.

2

Hot Forging

Slug upset and trimmed into the heavy hex blank.

3

Quench & Temper

Hardened, then tempered above 1100°F to land inside 248–327 HBW.

4

Tap, Test & Mark

Class 2B thread cut after heat treatment, proof loaded and grade stamped.

A194 2H Material Price Factors

There's no fixed price on A194 2hm Heavy Hex Jam Nuts, these five factors move the rate and make quote comparison easier.

Steel Bar RateThe carbon steel bar index on the day the lot is booked sets the base cost.
Size & Nut WeightHeavy hex weight climbs sharply above 1-1/2″, and so does forging time.
Coating ScopeHot-dip galvanising with overtapping costs more than a plain oiled finish.
Inspection LevelThird-party witnessed proof load and hardness adds cost and calendar days.
Order QuantityA single keg and a container load do not carry the same per-piece rate.

18 · FAQs

ASTM A194 2H Nuts FAQs

Here are the questions our bolting desk fields most before a purchase order goes out.

What are ASTM A194 2H Heavy Hex Nuts dimensions in metric?

Grade 2H is inch-series, so metric sizes are converted ASME B18.2.2 dimensions, covering 1/4″ to 4″ in our full chart above.

What is the chemical composition of SA 194 2H Material?

Grade 2H is plain carbon steel with 0.40% minimum carbon, defined as much by its quench and temper condition as by chemistry.

What is the equivalent material for ASTM A194 Grade 2H Nuts?

ASME SA-194 Grade 2H is the only exact match, with no direct DIN, EN, BS or JIS equivalent available.

What is the difference between ASTM A194 Gr 2H Nuts and A194 2HM Heavy Hex Jam Nuts?

Both share the same chemistry, but 2HM is tempered softer to meet sour service hardness limits under NACE MR0175.

Which stud grade pairs with ASTM A 194 Gr 2H Castle Nuts?

Grade 2H pairs with A193 B7 studs, while low-temperature A320 L7 studs need impact-tested Grade 7 nuts instead.

What sizes and price basis apply to ASTM A194 2H Hex Nut?

We hold 1/4″ to 4″ in stock, priced by size, coating and testing level against your quantity.
