ASTM A193 and A320 stud-bolt grades for Pressure Equipment Directive 2014/68/EU projects
Procurement and engineering teams can use this page to confirm which ASTM A193 and A320 grades are covered under LOKRON's PED quality scope and which documents are available for EU pressure equipment, industrial valves, piping systems and oil & gas projects.
A PED fastener order is more than a grade name. Confirm the exact certificate scope, stud bolt dimensions, heat or lot traceability, EN 10204 Type 3.1 material test reports, dimensional inspection records and any NACE or Charpy requirements before release.

We supply complete flange bolt sets with mill certificates (MTR), EN 10204 3.1/3.2 reports and PED declarations on request.
Request Technical QuoteYes. LOKRON supplies ASTM A193 or A320 stud bolts for EU pressure equipment and flanged joints. Confirm the exact grade, dimensions, certificate scope and required documentation against the project specification before order release.
LOKRON supplies PED-certified stud bolt grades under ASTM A193 and ASTM A320, including B7, B7M, B16, B8, B8M, L7 and L7M within the scope of Certificate No. MUE-008-002-2026.
Typical documentation includes EN 10204 Type 3.1 material test reports, dimensional inspection records, PED declarations of conformity, and NACE or Charpy impact test records where the service condition requires them.
Typical applications include pressure-vessel closures, flanged pipe systems, industrial valves, heat exchangers, low-temperature process equipment and oil-and-gas pressure-containing joints.
