ASTM A193 Grade B7 Heavy hex bolts with ASTM A194 2H heavy hex nut
Heavy hex cap screws and heavy hex bolts feature a large fastener
head for distributing clamping load. These fasteners are used at
high pressures and temperatures. Hex cap screws have a washer face
underneath the head and are used in precise applications. Heavy hex
head bolts are commonly used to make structural connections in
buildings, bridges, and railways.
