What is Stud bolt?
Stud bolts are highly applied in the pipe flange connections.
Stud bolts are inserted in the flange holes and tightened to seal a flanged joint. while the number, the length, the diameter of the stud bolts required for a flanged connection depend on the flanges type, diameter, and rating (as per the ASME B16.5 flange bolt chart).
Stud Bolts are externally threaded fasteners without a head, used with 2 nuts on either side, substituting a usual “bolt & nut” assembly. Stud bolts are prominently used in flange connections.
