This specification covers 5 grades of bolting with twelve classes of yield strength ranging from 50 to 120 ksi [345 to 827 Mpa] for used in high temperature service such as fasteners for pressure bessel and valve flanges. The specification is expressed in both inch-pound units and in SI units. BoltPort primarily stocks and supply A453 Grade 660 Boltings for high temperature service. We stock round bar in Grade 660, Grade 651 & Grade 665 for quick manufacturing these bolts. These bolts are solution annealed and age hardened to provide maximum efficiency in their applications. We offer Rupture Test Facility for sufficient quantity order. ASTM A453M is a metric companion to ASTM A453 including metric sizes stud bolts, hex bolts, socket head cap screws, etc.
We offer precisely made Stud Bolts, Hex Bolts, Heavy Hex Bolts, Socket Head Cap Screws as per ASTM A453 Grade 600, 651, 662, 665 & 668 in various tensile class. We produce these fasteners from 3/8" to 4" in imperial and upto M100 in metric sizes. Larger size bolts can be made to order as per request. We also undertake custom made boltings in A453 as per drawing.
