ASTM A194/A194M-23

This document is not an ASTM standard and is intended only to provide the user of an ASTM standard an indication of what changes have been made to the previous version. Because
it may not be technically possible to adequately depict all changes accurately, ASTM recommends that users consult prior editions as appropriate. In all cases only the current version
of the standard as published by ASTM is to be considered the official document.
Designation: A194/A194M − 22a A194/A194M − 23 Endorsed by
Manufacturers Standardization Society
of the Valve and Fittings Industry
Used in USNRC-RDT Standards
Standard Specification for
Carbon Steel, Alloy Steel, and Stainless Steel Nuts for Bolts
for High Pressure or High Temperature Service, or Both
This standard is issued under the fixed designation A194/A194M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year
of original adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.
A superscript epsilon (´) indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.
This standard has been approved for use by agencies of the U.S. Department of Defense.
1. Scope*
1.1 This specification covers a variety of carbon, alloy, and martensitic stainless steel nuts in the size range ⁄4 through 4 in. and
metric M12 through M100 nominal. It also covers austenitic stainless steel nuts in the size range ⁄4 in. and M12 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 centerless grinding or by
cold drawing. Austenitic stainless steel may be solution annealed or annealed and strain-hardened. When annealed and strain
hardened austenitic stainless steel is ordered in accordance with Supplementary Requirement S1, the purchaser should take special
care to ensure that 8.2.2, Supplementary Requirement S1, and Appendix X1 are thoroughly understood.
1.3 Supplementary requirements 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 specifies the applicable “M”
specification designation (SI units), the material shall be furnished to inch-pound units.
1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI units are to be regarded separately as standard. The values stated in each
system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each system shall be used independently of the other. Combining values from the
two systems may result in non-conformance with the standard. Within the text, the SI units are shown in brackets.
1.6 This international standard was developed in accordance with internationally recognized principles on standardization
established in the Decision on Principles for the Development of International Standards, Guides and Recommendations issued
by the World Trade Organization Technical Barriers to Trade (TBT) Committee.
This specification is under the jurisdiction of ASTM Committee A01 on Steel, Stainless Steel and Related Alloys and is the direct responsibility of Subcommittee A01.22
on Steel Forgings and Wrought Fittings for Piping Applications and Bolting Materials for Piping and Special Purpose Applications.
Current edition approved Nov. 1, 2022May 1, 2023. Published December 2022June 2023. Originally approved in 1936. Last previous edition approved in 2022 as
A194/A194M – 22.A194/A194M – 22a. DOI: 10.1520/A0194_A0194M-22A.10.1520/A0194_A0194M-23.

A
See limit for proof load test in 8.2.2.1. The proof load for jam nuts shall be 46 % of the tabulated load.
B
Based on proof stress of 130 000 psi.
C
Based on proof stress of 120 000 psi.
D
Based on proof stress of 150 000 psi.
E
Based on proof stress of 135 000 psi.
F
Based on proof stress of 175 000 psi.
G
Based on proof stress of 150 000 psi.
H
Based on proof stress of 80 000 psi.
I
Based on proof stress of 75 000 psi.
NOTE 1—A specific minimum stress relief temperature is given in 6.5.1 because no correlation can be drawn between the original tempering temperature
utilizing induction and the stress relieving temperature in a standard furnace.

be hot or cold forged, or shall be machined from hot-forged, hot-rolled or cold-drawn bars.
6.7 Grades 8A, 8CA, 8CLNA, 8CLNCuBA, 8MA, 8TA, 8FA, 8PA, 8NA, 8MNA, 8RA, 8SA, 8LNA, 8MLNA, 8MLCuNA,
8ML4CuNA, and 9CA nuts shall be hot- or cold-forged or shall be machined from hot-forged, hot-rolled, or cold-drawn bars and
the nuts shall subsequently be carbide-solution treated by heating them for a sufficient time at a temperature to dissolve chromium
carbides followed by cooling at a rate sufficient to prevent reprecipitation of the carbides.
