Bolt Thread Length Per ASME B18 2 1 the nominal thread length of inch series bolts can be found by where L is the total bolt length and d nom is the nominal bolt diameter Hex Bolt Head Dimensions The following table of hex bolt head dimensions was adapted from ASME B18 6 3 Table 29 quot Dimensions of Plain Unslotted and Slotted Regular and Large Hex Head Screws quot
Thread engagement is the length or number of threads that are engaged between the screw and the threads Screws are designed so that the bolt shank fails before the threads but for this to hold true a minimum thread engagement must be used The equation shown defines this minimum thread engagement Related formulas
Trying to make sense of all the different screw and bolt thread lengths can be a real challenge even for the most knowledgeable of professionals Are you finding yourself a little confused or do you need a quick refresher Never let thread length get the best of you with our help from ASMC We ve put together a handy thread length chart that is certain to make

The screw should fail before the thread strips For this it is necessary the shear area of the threaded feature be at least 2 times the tensile area Assuming the threaded feature is of the identical material Where L e Minimum Thread Engagement Length A t Tensile Stress Area D Major Diameter of fastener screw
The critical areas of stress are as follows tensile stress area of the bolt stress area of the male thread and stress area of the thread It is commonly known that the minimum recommended thread engagement to make a strong connection for a component with a tapped hole is approximately 1 times the nominal diameter in steel and 2 times the nominal diameter
Thread engagement is the amount of thread flank depth that is filled by the application material It is often expressed as a percentage A hole diameter equal to the major diameter of the threads would have a thread engagement of 0 In moderately stiff materials you should start with a hole size that provides 75 to 80 thread engagement A hole that creates a thread
A common rule of thumb is to provide a minimum length of thread engagement equal to the major diameter of the fastener A more conservative rule of thumb is to use a thread engagement length of 1 1 2 times diameter Bolt Thread Tensile Stress Area The tensile stress area of the threaded portion of a fastener is determined by the size diameter of the bolt and

I am mounting something to a piece where the bolt cant protrude out the back as there is another piece of steel back there The mother material is 3 8 quot threaded thats certainly not enough to accept a 1 2 quot bolt Im thinking possibly welding a nut atop that 3 8 quot material so the four 1 2 quot bolts have more to bite to
A minimum thread protrusion length is given to ensure that all the threads are engaged This is required to ensure a full strength fastener Equipment component drawings should specify the type length and size of bolt stud bolt stud etc to be used to obtain the proper thread protrusion If not specified on the drawings threaded fasteners of commercially stocked

The following illustration demonstrates the pitch diameter allowances on a 3 4 10 bolt and nut The axial distance through which the fully formed threads of both the nut and bolt are in contact is called the length of thread engagement The depth of thread engagement is the distance the threads overlap in a radial direction
For Cast Iron or brass or bronze the thread engagement should be at least 1 5 x Nominal dia s of the thread For Aluminium zinc or plastices the thread engagement should be at least 2 x Nominal dia s of the thread However for a quality safe connection when the tapped material has a significantly lower ultimate tensile strength than the screw material to ensure the screw will
