For imperial:
Bolt tensile stress area calculations:
Symbol | Name | UoM | Source |
|---|---|---|---|
A | Bolt tensile stress area | in2 | Calculated. |
D | Bolt nominal diameter | in | LOOKUP (based on Flange SIZE and CLASS RATING). See Stud Size Lookup. |
n | number of threads per inch - TPI | LOOKUP (based on Flange SIZE). See TPI Lookup (based on Stud Size). |
Note: Users can also directly enter a Bolt Tensile Stress Area. This user-entered value will then also be the value used in the Torque and Tensions calculations.
Example:
Determining the tensile stress area of a bolt for a mechanical assembly if:
Stud Size (D): 1.25 inches
Number of Threads: 7
