Thanks for explaining the difference between Stud Bolt & Bolt,
But when you refer the standard you have mentioned ASME B16.5 which is giving the recommended size (Stud Bolt Dia. and Length) of the Stud bolt to be used for the flange set.
When you deal with the vendors if we mention B16.5 he...

Based on the above thread there were various answers given to differentiate the stud and stud bolt.
But if you engross clearly you can understand that the term "stud Bolt" defines that the requirement is either stud or Bolt is acceptable.
Since we already know the difference...
The term system engineer applies to so many disciplines when you refer a computer system or a package/product that give complete solution of a problem or a process. But an engineering technologist is different because he must know about the latest evolving technology in his discipline of work...
It is well known to everybody that to become a respectable engineer we need to have more experience than qualification. In the present days of technology evolution an engineer must able to work in the technology platform to regarded as an engineering technologist

As for as my knowledge it is one of the material specification released by API.
all the trims are having equivalent ASTM material specifications.

Thanks for all your suggestions and comments.
I would conclude that ASME B16.5 depicts the compatible fastener for the flanges and ASME B18.2.1 and ASME B18.2.2 provides the dimensional standard for the bolt and nut.
Can anybody give me a clear picture of what is the ASME code for Studs to be used in compatible to ASME B16.5 FLANGES?
I am confused because,
If we consider studs, the ASME standard is B18.31.2 for imperial and ASME B18.31.1M for Metric
If we consider Bolts, the ASME standard is B18.2.1 for...
