ASTM A105 Specification

ASTM A105 is a standard material specification for forged carbon steel piping components including bolts, nuts, studs and other fasteners to standard or custom dimensions, for use in ambient and higher temperature service in pressure systems. Boltport offers all types of carbon steel forged fasteners to ASTM A105 specifications.

Chemical Composition

Element Composition, %
Carbon 0.35 max
Manganese 0.60 - 1.05
Phosphorus 0.035 max
Sulfur 0.040 max
Silicon 0.10 - 0.35
Copper 0.40 max [Note B]
Nickel 0.40 max [Note B]
