ASTM A194 Grade 8 manufactured in accordance with the standard GR 8 nuts, offers superior corrosion resistance against high temperatures, abrasive environments, and chemical effects. Typically manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel (or equivalent), these nuts are preferred in demanding industrial environments such as process piping, petrochemical plants, and offshore platforms. Production is available in metric and inch sizes.

Grade 8 is a class of nuts manufactured from stainless steel in accordance with the ASTM A194 standard, offering high corrosion resistance and mechanical strength. It provides long-lasting and secure connections in chemical and marine environments.
It is preferred in systems with corrosive environments such as high humidity, salt water, chemical vapors, and high temperatures. It is generally used with stainless steel bolts and studs.
Grade 8 nuts are typically manufactured from AISI 304 stainless steel. Material selection should be based on the corrosion level of the environment. In more aggressive environments, A194 Gr 8M (AISI 316) is preferred.
