Oil & Gas Anchor Bolts (M16–M36) — Grade 8.8

Oil & Gas Anchor Bolts (M16–M36) — Grade 8.8

 

 We manufacture high-strength Oil & Gas anchor bolts with HDG (hot-dip galvanized) and SS316 options for corrosion resistance. Standard sizes M16–M36, Grade 8.8, quick BOQ review in 24 hours, and PAN-India dispatch.

Why it solves your problem: Refinery and terminal environments are harsh—chlorides, humidity, vibration, and chemical splash. The right material/coating and correct embedment stop failures, cut rework, and keep shutdown windows on schedule.

 

What Are Oil & Gas Anchor Bolts?

 

Anchor bolts fix equipment and steel structures to concrete foundations in refineries, terminals, and utility/process areas. Common forms include J-bolts, L-bolts, studs with base plates, U-bolts, and template bolt assemblies used for cast-in accuracy.

 

Typical applications

  1. Pipe racks & sleepers, walkways, platforms, handrails
  2. Pumps, compressors, skids, heat exchangers
  3. Tank foundations and equipment pedestals
  4. Cable trays, MCC/utility skids, brownfield retrofits

 

Key Benefits (HDG & SS316 for Oil & Gas

 

  1. Corrosion protection that lasts: HDG resists industrial outdoor exposure; SS316 handles chlorides/coastal splash and many chemicals.
  2. Strength & reliability: Grade 8.8 (higher on request) supports dynamic loads from rotating machinery.
  3. Traceability & QA: Heat numbers, torque/pull-out test reports, coating documentation, optional PMI for SS.
  4. Faster execution: Ready stock in core sizes; template jigs reduce misalignment; 24h BOQ review accelerates approvals.

 

Refinery & Terminal Anchor Bolts — Fast Dispatch

What you get

 

  1. Pre-packed bolt + nut + washer (+ plate) kits with project labels
  2. HDG/SS316 material & coating documentation on request
  3. Template plates with markings for cast-in positioning
  4. Just-in-time deliveries to match shutdown windows

 

Order checklist

 

  1. Base-plate drawing; bolt size/thread/projection
  2. Coating (HDG/SS316) and environment class (C1–C5)
  3. Quantity by tag/area and required dispatch date

 

Chemical-Resistant Anchor Bolts (SS316/HDG)

Choose by environment:

 

  1. SS316: chloride exposure, coastal air, splash/chemical zones, marine influence
  2. HDG: general outdoor industrial and pipe racks
  3. Zinc-plated: indoor dry rooms (not for harsh areas)

 

Best practices

 

  1. Use the same-metal stacks (bolt, nut, washer) to reduce galvanic corrosion.
  2. Seal roof/slab penetrations to block water ingress.
  3. Specify HDG thickness or SS grade in the RFQ to avoid substitutions.

 

Skids & Pipe Rack Anchor Bolts — Manufacturer Support
 

  1. Pre-assembled J/L bolts with plates (optional)
  2. Template jig drawings for site positioning
  3. Kitting & labeling per equipment tag or rack bay
  4. Guidance on double-nut met the hod, grout allowance, and re-torque plans

Step-by-Step: How Installation Works

Cast-in (new foundations)
 

  1. Fix the template plate, tie bolts to rebar as per drawing.
  2. Pour concrete; protect threads from slurry.
  3. Remove template; verify projection + alignment.
  4. Place base-plate, grout, double-nut, and torque to spec.
     

Post-installed (retrofit/brownfield)

 

  1. Mark positions; drill to diameter/depth.
  2. Clean hole (blow + brush + blow)—critical for capacity.
  3. You can install a mechanical/chemical anchor according to design.
  4. Tighten to torque table; verify with tests.
  5. Fit base-plate; grout as required.

 

Mistakes to Avoid (Save This Checklist)

 

  1. Zinc-plated in chloride zones → early rust and rework.
  2. Under-embedment / poor edge distance → pull-out or cracking.
  3. Skipping hole cleaning (retrofit) → major capacity loss.
  4. Mixed metals in nut/washer stacks → galvanic corrosion.
  5. Projection not controlled → base-plate misalignment and shim stacks.

Pricing & What Moves the Quote
 

  1. Material & grade: SS316 > HDG > zinc; Grade 8.8 vs higher
  2. Size & length: larger Ø and embedment = more steel
  3. Plates & templates: fabrication + HDG cost
  4. Coating microns: thicker HDG = higher cost
  5. Testing/docs: torque & pull-out tests, PMI, certificates (if scoped)

Real-World Example 
 

  1. Scope: Refinery pipe rack expansion — 2,400 anchors
  2. Spec: M20/M24, Grade 8.8, HDG, template-cast
  3. Execution: Pre-labeled kits per bay, jig plates, two JIT dispatches
  4. Outcome: Faster setting, minimal rework, on-schedule commissioning

 

FAQ 
 

1) Should I choose SS316 or HDG in a refinery?
Pick SS316 for chloride/chemical splash and coastal areas. Choose HDG for general outdoor industrial zones. Confirm with the project’s environment class (C1–C5).
 

2) What embedment depth is safe for M20/M24 bolts?
Use 10–12 × diameter as a starting rule (e.g., M20 ≈ 200–240 mm). Finalize per structural design and site tests.
 

3) Can we retrofit anchors during operations?
Often, yes—use post-installed chemical anchors in controlled windows. Coordinate drilling/curing with safety and structural teams.
 

4) How do I prevent loosening on vibrating equipment?
Use the double-nut method, spring/nyloc washers, correct torque, and a re-torque plan after initial run-in.
 

5) What documents will you provide?
Packing list, heat numbers, HDG/SS certificates, and torque/pull-out test reports (as scoped). Project labels on cartons aid site distribution
.

6) Do you supply template plates and markings?
Yes. We supply templates/jigs with stamped markings for cast-in accuracy and can kit/label per equipment tag.
 

7) Are zinc-plated anchors okay indoors?
Yes, for dry indoor, non-corrosive rooms. Avoid zinc-plated in humid, chemical, or chloride-rich areas.

 

Conclusion
 

Selecting the right anchor bolts for Oil & Gas means matching material (HDG/SS316), grade (8.8), and embedment to your load and environment. We help with sizing, templates, testing, and fast dispatch to meet shutdown targets.
