ASTM A193 Grade B7M pegs, ASTM A193 B7 It is a version that has undergone heat treatment at a low hardness level. This class is specially heat treated with a limited hardness value to prevent risks such as hydrogen embrittlement. This ensures a secure connection in applications that operate under high pressure but require safety sensitivity.
Grade B7M, is generally preferred in environments with high hydrogen concentrations, petrochemical plants, refineries, and flange connections requiring high security.

It is used in flanged connection systems in high-pressure applications where safety is paramount in hydrogen environments.
No. However, it is typically used with compatible nuts such as ASTM A194 Grade 2HM or 7M and ASTM F436 washers.
B7 fasteners have high hardness and strength. B7M, although made from the same material, has undergone heat treatment to achieve lower hardness. This reduces the risk of hydrogen embrittlement.
