4、nuts in the size range14in.and M6nominal and above.These nuts are intended for high-pressureor high-temperature service,or both.Grade substitutions with-out the purchasers permission are not allowed.1.2 Bars from which the nuts are made shall be hot-wrought.The material may be further processed by c
5、enterless grindingor by cold drawing.Austenitic stainless steel may be solutionannealed or annealed and strain-hardened.When annealed andstrain hardened austenitic stainless steel is ordered in accor-dance with Supplementary Requirement S1,the purchasershould take special care to ensure that 8.2.2,S
6、upplementaryRequirement S1,and Appendix X1 are thoroughly understood.1.3 Supplementary requirements(S1 through S6)of anoptional nature are provided.These shall apply only whenspecified in the inquiry,contract,and order.1.4 This specification is expressed in both inch-pound unitsand in SI units.Howev
7、er,unless the order specifies theapplicable“M”specification designation(SI units),the mate-rial shall be furnished to inch-pound units.1.5 The values stated in either inch-pound units or SI unitsare to be regarded separately as standard.Within the text,theSI units are shown in brackets.The values st
8、ated in eachsystem are not exact equivalents;therefore,each system mustbe used independently of the other.Combining values from thetwo systems may result in nonconformance with the specifi-cation.2.Referenced Documents2.1 ASTM Standards:3A 153/A 153M Specification for Zinc Coating(Hot-Dip)onIron and
