Hastelloy C276 Heavy Hex NutUNS N10276 · ASME B18.2.2 · Manufacturer, trader & exporter, India
Alloy C-276 · UNS N10276
A Hastelloy C276 heavy hex nut is a thicker and wider hexagon nut for pressure bolting. ASTM F467 (N10276) where specified, 0.250–1.500 in.; otherwise may be machined from ASTM B574 bar (UNS N10276), where applicable — finished requirements to the purchase specification or project drawing. Heavy hex nuts go with stud bolts on flanges. They spread load better and resist thread stripping at high preload. Made to ASME B18.2.2.
