A stainless steel threaded rod (also called an SS all-thread rod, SS threaded bar, or SS fully threaded stud) is a long cylindrical rod with continuous threading along its entire length — used to connect, support, suspend, or anchor two or more components together using nuts and washers at one or both ends. Unlike a bolt, which has a head, a threaded rod is headless and can be cut to any required length from standard stock lengths.
Krishna Industries (KELOR), based in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, supplies the complete range of stainless steel threaded rods and studs — all grades, all thread forms, all lengths — to construction contractors, EPC firms, piping fabricators, structural engineers, and industrial buyers across India. GST invoice. MOQ 10 rods. Pan India dispatch.
Threaded Rod vs Stud Bolt — Key Differences
These two products are frequently confused and incorrectly interchanged on purchase orders. Understanding the difference prevents costly procurement mistakes.
| Feature | Threaded Rod (All-Thread) | Stud Bolt |
|---|---|---|
| Threading | Fully threaded along entire length — continuous thread from end to end | Threaded at both ends only — plain (unthreaded) shank in the middle; thread length specified per standard (e.g. ASME B16.5) |
| Standard Lengths | Stock lengths: 1000 mm, 1500 mm, 2000 mm, 3000 mm, 6000 mm (and 3 ft / 6 ft / 12 ft imperial). Cut to length on request. | Fixed lengths per flange class and pipe size — e.g. ASME B16.5 Class 150 specifies exact stud bolt length for each flange size from ½” to 24″ |
| Primary Use | Construction hanging rods, pipe hangers, anchor rods, channel frame assembly, suspension systems, rod couplers, tie rods — anywhere variable length or field cutting is required | Pressure flange assembly per ASME B16.5 / B16.47 / API 6A — each flange size and class has a defined stud bolt length; cannot be cut to length |
| Nut Position | Nut can be placed anywhere along the rod length — maximum installation flexibility | Nuts placed at each threaded end only; plain shank provides defined grip length for flange joint preload |
| Standard | DIN 975 / DIN 976 / ISO 4026 / ASTM F1554 | ASME B16.5 / B7 / B7M / ASTM A193 / A320 |
| HSN Code | 73181500 (threaded rods / bars) | 73181500 (stud bolts) |
Coarse Thread vs Fine Thread — When to Specify Which
Thread pitch selection is the most overlooked specification in threaded rod procurement. Using the wrong pitch results in thread stripping, incorrect engagement, or inability to mate with nuts on site.
Coarse Thread (Standard Metric)
Most Common · DIN 975 / ISO 724- Larger thread pitch — e.g. M10 coarse = 1.5mm pitch
- Faster assembly — fewer turns to install nut over the rod length
- More resistant to cross-threading — easier to start under site conditions
- Better for use in softer materials (wood, aluminium inserts)
- Standard DIN 934 hex nuts are coarse thread — always matches
- Specify for: construction hangers, pipe supports, channel frame, general structural, concrete anchoring, outdoor civil work
Fine Thread (Metric Fine)
Precision Use · DIN 976 / ISO 724- Smaller thread pitch — e.g. M10 fine = 1.25mm or 1.0mm pitch
- Greater thread engagement area per unit length — higher tensile and shear strength for the same diameter
- More resistant to self-loosening under vibration — smaller helix angle
- Allows finer torque control and adjustment
- Requires matching fine-pitch nuts — standard coarse nuts will not fit
- Specify for: precision machinery, automotive, instrumentation, adjustable tie rods, vibration-exposed assemblies, tensioning systems
Imperial Thread (UNC / UNF / BSW)
Export & Legacy · ASME / BSW- UNC (Unified National Coarse) — most common US/export thread form
- UNF (Unified National Fine) — finer pitch imperial thread
- BSW (British Standard Whitworth) — for older plant retrofit and some export markets
- Range: 1/4″ to 1½” diameter
- Specify for: US-standard EPC projects, export-destined equipment, legacy plant maintenance, and wherever drawing specifies inch thread
SS Grade Selection Guide — SS304 vs SS316 vs Duplex
| Grade | Designation | Key Property | ✅ Specify For | ❌ Not For |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| SS304 (A2) | AISI 304 / UNS S30400 / DIN 1.4301 | 18% Cr + 8% Ni — general corrosion resistance | Indoor construction hangers, HVAC pipe supports, food processing (non-chloride), pharmaceutical (non-GMP), general engineering, interior structural — most economical SS grade | Coastal outdoor, marine environments, seawater, chloride-rich water — SS304 pits above ~150 ppm chloride |
| SS316 (A4) | AISI 316 / UNS S31600 / DIN 1.4401 | 18% Cr + 10% Ni + 2–3% Mo — chloride pitting resistance | Marine & offshore pipe hangers, coastal construction, seawater infrastructure, chemical plant, swimming pool structural, food GMP, pharmaceutical cleanroom | Budget indoor applications — SS316 costs 20–30% more than SS304 |
| SS316L | AISI 316L / UNS S31603 / DIN 1.4404 | Low carbon — improved weld zone corrosion resistance | Threaded rods that will be welded into assemblies in corrosive service — pharmaceutical, food GMP, chemical plant | Non-welded applications — standard 316 is sufficient and more economical |
| SS310 | AISI 310 / UNS S31000 | 25% Cr + 20% Ni — high temperature oxidation resistance | Furnace hangers, kiln supports, high-temperature structural rods above 600°C — where standard 304/316 would oxidise | Standard ambient-temperature applications — significant cost premium |
| Duplex 2205 | UNS S32205 / DIN 1.4462 | Dual-phase high strength + chloride pitting resistance | Offshore anchor rods, desalination structural ties, seawater infrastructure under high tensile load | Standard construction — over-specified; use SS316 unless load AND corrosion requirements demand both simultaneously |
| Nickel Alloy | Monel 400 / Alloy 600 / Alloy 625 | Extreme corrosion resistance — seawater, acids, alkalis | Seawater submerged anchor rods, chemical process acid plant, offshore platform structural ties in splash zone | Standard construction — significant premium; specify only where SS316 proves inadequate |
