Monel K500 Stud Bolt: Why K500 for stud bolts
Stud bolts are the standard bolting for pipe flanges. Length is measured end-to-end excluding points, per ASME B16.5 bolting tables. In Monel K500, the choice usually comes down to the medium and temperature — the rows here are the points buyers check for this exact combination.
| Why this grade | Nickel-alloy fasteners match nickel-alloy flanges in corrosive or hot service. Monel K500 is picked for high-strength pump shafts, bolting and springs in seawater. |
|---|---|
| Typical service | Marine — Propeller and pump shafts. |
| Bolting | B7 (coated), B8M or nickel-alloy studs in Monel K500 (bar to ASTM B865, where applicable), as the project specifies |
| Sour service | Listed in NACE MR0175 / ISO 15156-3 within its limits — state it on the order |
