Unifit Metalloys Inc offers many ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners. These are carefully made for sour gas H2S environments. They are also built for other tough environments. These conditions need controlled hardness, better flexibility and excellent notch toughness that is key for long life. These fasteners are made from chromium and molybdenum alloy steel. They are quenched and tempered very carefully. This ensures steady metal properties. It also ensures good structure. They follow strict rules of NACE, MR0175, ISO 15156. So L7M fasteners are good for service in sulfide stress cracking SSC areas. These areas are common in oilfields, offshore platforms and sour service pipelines.
Standard L7 grade is different. ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners are changed on purpose. Their tensile strength is kept below certain limits. Usually less than 100 ksi. This ensures a softer more flexible metal structure. This softer structure lowers the risks. Risks of hydrogen embrittlement and breaking suddenly. This makes L7M the best choice for wet H2S service, high pressure sour gas lines, subsea gear and pressure units in refineries. In these places safety is very important. Following global material standards is a must.

ASTM A193 Grade L7M is a standard for alloy steel fasteners. These fasteners are made specially for low temperature and high pressure places. They are also suitable for sour gas and H2S service areas. These are areas where hydrogen embrittlement is a big worry. Sulfide stress cracking (SSC) is also a concern.
For industry, Grade L7M is a changed version of standard ASTM A193 Grade L7. The main difference is in controlled metal properties. Hardness and tensile strength are especially reduced. This controlled hardness meets NACE, MR0175, ISO 15156 standards. These standards are for materials used in wet H2S service.
L7M fasteners go through quenching and tempering. But their hardness cannot go over a certain point. Usually Rockwell C22 or less. This makes them softer. They are more flexible than standard L7 fasteners. This lower hardness is very important. It stops cracks from starting and growing in sour places. Cracks can risk safety and how well things work.
Industries like oil, gas, petrochemicals and offshore drilling use ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners a lot. They use them for their great toughness and their reliability in corrosive conditions.
Types of ASTM A193 L7M Fasteners
ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners come in many shapes. This is to fit different industrial needs. Especially in sour service conditions. These fasteners are made with exact hardness control. They have top material quality. This ensures safe and reliable performance.
All fasteners are available in standard sizes. They also come in custom sizes. These follow ASTM ASME DIN and ISO rules. This ensures they meet your project’s exact needs.
ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners are made using alloy steel. This steel meets strict chemical mix standards. This ensures they work best in sour gas areas. Each element in the mix helps. It helps the material’s strength, flexibility and resistance to hydrogen embrittlement. This makes it right for NACE MR0175 ISO 15156 rules.
Element | Composition (%) |
Carbon (C) | 0.30 – 0.40 |
Manganese (Mn) | 0.60 – 0.90 |
Phosphorus (P) | ≤ 0.035 |
Sulfur (S) | ≤ 0.040 |
Silicon (Si) | 0.15 – 0.35 |
Chromium (Cr) | 0.40 – 0.60 |
Molybdenum (Mo) | 0.15 – 0.25 |
This carefully controlled chemical composition ensures the required mechanical properties and resistance needed for safe operation in sour gas and critical pressure applications.
ASTM A193 Grade L7M fasteners are made from high quality alloy steel raw materials. These materials are chosen specially. They are chosen for their ability to work in sour gas H2S and low temperature places. These raw materials go through strict quality checks. This ensures they meet NACE MR0175 ISO 15156 rules. They also meet industry specific needs.
