ASTM A193
Scope
Originally approved in 1936, this specification is heavily utilized in petroleum and chemical construction applications. The ASTM standard covers alloy steel and stainless steel bolting materials for high temperature service. This specification includes fasteners intended for use in pressure vessels, valves, flanges, and fittings. Although, this material is often available in national coarse (UNC) thread pitches, if being used in traditional applications, threads are specified 8 threads per inch (tpi) for diameters above one inch.
Below is a basic summary of a few of the common grades. ASTM A193 covers a number of other standard specifications not covered in this description including B5, B6, and B16.
Grades
B7 | Alloy steel, AISI 4140/4142 quenched and tempered |
B8 | Class 1 Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated. |
B8M | Class 1 Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated. |
B8 | Class 2 Stainless steel, AISI 304, carbide solution treated, strain hardened |
B8M | Class 2 Stainless steel, AISI 316, carbide solution treated, strain hardened |

Barbara Stanwyck and Fred MacMurray star in this gripping film noir from Academy Award-winning director Billy Wilder. A calculating wife encourages her wealthy husband to sign a double indemnity policy proposed by smitten insurance agent Walter Neff. As the would-be lovers plot the unsuspecting husband’s murder, they are pursued by a suspicious claims manager (Edward G. Robinson). It’s a race against time to get away with the perfect crime in this heart-racing Academy Award-nominated masterpiece.
***IMPORTANT: This method is only confirmed for 1990 – 1995 Miatas. IF you have a later year car, the methods and/or tooling required may be different. Do your research!
***FOR PEOPLE ASKING ABOUT WELDING THE PINION: In this tutorial, I followed the Flyin’ Miata writeup in which they don’t weld the pinion (making it more DIY friendly). You can take the extra step and have the pinion welded to eliminate any play in the rotary valve. This is also only the confirmed method for 1990-1995 steering racks, later racks may require different methods for disassembly.
I feel like I haven’t done a real tech video in a while so here you go! If you have deleted your power steering I highly recommend doing this, it really makes the steering feel better. I’ll be documenting a few more chassis upgrades as well along the process of building the engine for the car (which, don’t worry, that series will start VERY soon!!!)
