Inch Sizes of 316 Stainless Steel Finished Hex Head Nuts: Specifications and Benefits

316 stainless steel finished hex head nuts are renowned for their superior corrosion resistance, strength, and durability, making them an excellent choice for demanding industrial applications. These nuts are particularly favored in marine, chemical, and high-corrosion environments, where resistance to saltwater, chemicals, and extreme conditions is essential. Available in various inch sizes, 316 stainless steel finished hex head nuts are designed to fit a wide range of bolts, providing versatility for different fastening requirements.

Inch Sizes and Applications

316 stainless steel finished hex head nuts are available in inch sizes to match commonly used bolt diameters and thread pitches. The most common sizes include:

  • 1/4"-20

  • 5/16"-18

  • 3/8"-16

  • 1/2"-13

  • 5/8"-11

  • 3/4"-10

  • 1"-8

These inch sizes are specified by the bolt's diameter and threads per inch (TPI), ensuring compatibility with bolts in a wide variety of industrial and commercial applications. For example, the 1/4"-20 nut fits a 1/4-inch diameter bolt with 20 threads per inch, suitable for general fastening needs in both light and heavy-duty environments.

Specifications of 316 Stainless Steel Finished Hex Head Nuts

Made from 316 stainless steel, these nuts offer exceptional resistance to corrosion and oxidation, particularly in chloride-rich environments such as coastal areas, marine settings, and chemical plants. Key specifications include:

  • Thread Type: Unified Thread Standard (UTS) or Unified National Thread (UNC)

  • Material: 316 Stainless Steel, known for its addition of molybdenum, which enhances resistance to pitting and crevice corrosion

  • Finish: Plain, providing a clean, smooth surface that ensures easy installation and a secure fit

  • Strength: High tensile strength, suitable for heavy-duty applications

  • Standards: Manufactured according to ASTM A194 and ANSI B18.2.2 standards

316 stainless steel finished hex head nuts are ideal for use in industries like marine, food processing, and pharmaceuticals, where reliable performance in corrosive environments is essential. Their strength and resistance make them a top choice for ensuring secure, long-lasting connections in harsh conditions.
