Quick Specs
What Buyers Should Know Before Sourcing ASTM A194 2H Heavy Hex Nuts
ASTM A194 Grade 2H is a material and mechanical requirement for heavy hex nuts used in high-pressure and high-temperature bolting service. Buyers should confirm both the A194 grade and the dimensional reference, such as ASME B18.2.2, project drawing, or an approved flange bolting schedule.
For flange sets, ASTM A194 2H nuts are commonly paired with B7 studs, often with two nuts per stud. Thread series, coating thickness, nut run-on, marking, and certificate requirements should be defined before production. For practical matching details, review XZ Fastener guidance on stud bolts for pipeline flanges.
Important Sourcing Checks
- Confirm ASTM A194 Grade 2H and heavy hex nut dimension reference.
- Specify thread size, thread series, pitch, and class of fit.
- Confirm matching ASTM A193 B7 studs, B16 studs, or other bolting grade.
- Check coating thickness, oversize tapping, and nut run-on before production.
- Define MTC, heat number traceability, marking, packing, and third-party inspection needs.

Material and Grade Explanation
ASTM A194 Grade 2H heavy hex nuts are designed for use with high-strength bolting in pressure and temperature service. The grade is commonly specified with ASTM A193 Grade B7 stud bolts, especially for pipeline flanges, pressure vessels, petrochemical plants, valves, and maintenance shutdown projects.
Procurement teams should distinguish A194 2H nuts from ordinary hex nuts. ISO 4032 or DIN 934 nuts may be suitable for many metric assemblies, while A194 2H is selected where the project requires a specific ASTM grade, heavy hex dimensions, heat treatment, marking, and traceability. To review certificate data, see the guide on MTC for bolts and nuts.
Typical Flange Set Details
- Stud material: ASTM A193 Grade B7 when specified.
- Nut material: ASTM A194 Grade 2H.
- Thread series: often UNC or 8UN in many flange applications.
- Nut quantity: commonly two nuts per stud for flange sets.
- Documents: MTC, heat number, inspection report, coating report upon request.
For bolting pair selection, review nut grade and bolt torque matching rules.
Surface Finish Selection Guide
Plain or Black Finish
Plain or black A194 2H heavy hex nuts are common for many industrial flange applications. Rust-preventive oil and suitable packing should be confirmed when sea shipment or long storage is expected.
PTFE Coating
PTFE-coated 2H nuts are often requested with B7 stud bolts where lower friction, color identification, or added corrosion protection is required. Coating thickness and thread fit must be confirmed.
Galvanized or Zinc Coated
Zinc plated or hot dip galvanized finishes can be supplied according to order requirement. For coated heavy hex nuts, tapping allowance and mating stud fit should be reviewed before bulk order.
For coating selection, review the PTFE coating guide for stud bolts and nuts and the broader fastener coating guide.
Manufacturing and Quality Control
ASTM A194 2H heavy hex nut production requires control of raw material, forging or machining, tapping, heat treatment, surface finishing, marking, sorting, and packing. Important inspection points include thread size, thread fit, across flats, nut height, chamfer, hardness, proof load where applicable, coating thickness, nut run-on with mating studs, and marking accuracy.
For pressure-related projects, buyers often request material test certificates, chemical and mechanical data, hardness results, dimensional reports, coating records, and third-party inspection. To reduce specification gaps, use XZ Fastener’s quality inspection RFQ checklist before placing a controlled order.
