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

NOTE For more complex bolt geometry elongation is equal to the sum of the elongations of each section with allowances made for transitional stresses in bolt head height and nut engagement length The micrometer method is most easily applied to a bolt that is threaded its entire length or has very few threads in the bolt grip area so that elongation will be practically

API Spec 6A makes no specific requirement for stud bolt threads to extend beyond a nut but rather requires that the stud bolt shall have full thread engagement equal to one times the outside diameter of the stud bolt within either a tapped hole or a 2H nut This means that the portion of the stud bolt normally called the end quot Point quot having the chamfer as a minimum

For a bolted joint with a tapped hole if the material of tapped hole has lower strength than the bolt the thread engagement length should be at least equal to Q in order to prevent the stripping of internal thread before the failure of bolt If the thread engagement length is less then Q the magnitude of the bolt preload must be reduced Equivalently there are three failures to
