ASME B18.31.2 Inch Series Threaded Rods Dimensions
Inch Series Threaded Rod Dimensions and Length Standards
ASME B18.31.2 standard specifies the dimensions and requirements for inch series threaded rods, widely used in construction, piping, and mechanical systems. It includes details on thread specifications, rod lengths, and tolerances. This page provides accurate ASME B18.31.2 dimensions, along with size charts and engineering specifications for practical use.
Inch-series threaded rods per ASME B18.31.2 are the workhorse fastener-blank format for stud bolts, anchor rods, and adjustment hardware in North-American process industries. Diameter range 1/4 inch through 4 inch nominal in UNC, UNF, and 8-UN thread series. In ASTM A193 Grade B8 304 stainless, threaded rod is supplied as bar stock or cut-to-length stud with ends chamfered, rolled, or square per customer specification. Thread fit class 2A/2B is the default; 3A/3B is specified for tight-tolerance pressure-vessel duty.
