1、Designation: A437/A437M 11Standard Specification forStainless and Alloy-Steel Turbine-Type Bolting SpeciallyHeat Treated for High-Temperature Service1This standard is issued under the fixed designation A437/A437M; the number immediately following the designation indicates the yearof original adoptio

2、n or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.A superscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1. Scope*1.1 This specification2covers stainless and alloy-steel bolt-ing specially hea

3、t treated for high-temperature service, such assteam turbine, gas turbine, and similar uses. See SpecificationA962/A962M for the definition of bolting. This materialrequires special processing and should not be used in general-purpose applications. Bolting furnished as bars shall be hotwrought and m

4、ay be further processed by centerless grindingor by cold drawing.1.2 The high-temperature properties of the bolting coveredby this specification are dependent upon special heat treatment,which is required. Although the high-temperature propertiesare not specified, they are implied by control of the

5、chemistry,heat treatment, and room-temperature properties of the mate-rial.1.3 Three levels of bolting strength are covered, designatedGrades B4B, B4C, and B4D.1.4 The following referenced general requirements are in-dispensable for application of this specification: SpecificationA962/A962M.1.5 Supp

6、lementary requirements are provided for use at theoption of the purchaser. The supplementary requirements shallapply only when specified individually by the purchaser in thepurchase order or contract.1.6 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand in SI units; however, unless the pur

7、chase order or contractspecifies the applicable M specification designation (SI units),the inch-pound units shall apply.1.7 The values stated in either SI units or inch-pound unitsare to be regarded separately as standard. Within the text, theSI units are shown in brackets. The values stated in each

8、system may not be exact equivalents; therefore, each systemshall be used independently of the other. Combining valuesfrom the two systems may result in non-conformance with thestandard.2.

Ordering Information3.1 It shall be the responsibility of the purchaser to specifyall requirements necessa

10、ry for product under this specification.Such requirements to be considered include, but are not limitedto, the following:3.1.1 Specification designation, grade, issue date, and revi-sion letter,3.1.2 Quantity (weight or number of pieces),3.1.3 Description (bars, bolts, nuts, etc.),3.1.4 Dimensions,3

11、.1.5 Finish, and3.1.6 Impact testing of nuts, if required (see Section 9).4. Common Requirements4.1 Bolting supplied to this specification shall conform tothe requirements of SpecificationA962/A962M. These require-ments include test methods, finish, thread dimensions, mac-roetch (Grade B4D only), ma

12、rking, certification, optionalsupplementary requirements, and others. Failure to complywith the requirements of Specification A962/A962M consti-tutes nonconformance with this specification. In case of con-flict between this specification and SpecificationA962/A962M,this specification shall prevail.1
