STUD & BOLTS

High-performance stud bolts and hex bolts engineered for critical flange connections in petrochemical, oil & gas, and industrial piping systems.

These precision fasteners provide the clamping force necessary to maintain leak-proof seals in high-pressure and high-temperature applications.

Industrial Stud Bolts and Hex Bolts

In the petrochemical and process industries, stud bolts and hex bolts serve as the backbone of flange connections, ensuring secure joints between piping components. Stud bolts consist of a threaded rod with two heavy hex nuts, offering superior load distribution and ease of alignment during assembly. Hex bolts feature a hexagonal head with a single nut, providing robust fastening for various industrial applications. Both types are manufactured to exacting standards from high-strength materials, capable of withstanding extreme pressures, temperatures, and corrosive environments. Proper selection and installation of these fasteners are critical for maintaining system integrity and preventing potentially hazardous leaks in process piping systems.

Key Features

  • High Tensile Strength: Engineered for demanding flange connections
  • Precision Threading: Accurate thread forms for optimal load distribution
  • Corrosion Resistance: Various material and coating options available
  • Temperature Stability: Maintains clamping force across wide temperature ranges
  • Vibration Resistance: Secure fastening in dynamic applications
