Negative Tolerance numbers indicate interference.

This calculator will calculate the unknown for the given conditions. Two (2) inputs are required, See the application illustration at bottom of page.

The following are definitions for the elements:

A_t = tensile strength area of screw thread.

D = Basic major diameter, example; .500 for a 1/2 - 13 UNC - 2B Thread Engineering Data Chart

n = Number of threads per inch

Equation:

This equation provides an approximate result by extrapolation on the thread stress area of a fastener.This equation is adequate for design applications on engineering materials or less than 100 ksi ultimate strength.
