Force Required to Strip the Bolt Threads Formula and Calculator
The amount of tension we can create in a bolt depends not only on the strength of its body but also on the shear strength of its threads. If we’re designing a nut or deciding how deep to make a tapped hole, we’ll want to be sure that the thread engagement length will be great enough to allow us to develop the full ultimate strength of the bolt. A broken bolt is easier to detect than a stripped thread, so we never want the threads to strip.
When thread engagement is equal to thread diameter or when Le = D
Where
Le = length of thread engagement (in., mm)
D = nominal diameter of the bolt (in., mm).
Equation 1
FSt = Su · ATS
where
Su = ultimate shear strength (psi, MPa) of the nut or bolt materials
ATS = cross-sectional area (in.2, mm2) through which the shear occurs for a length of engagement equal to D
FSt = the force (lb, N) required to strip that length of threads of a bolt or nut
Tensile force required to break the bolt
Equation 2
FTen = UTS · AS
Thread Stress Area
Metric M Series Thread Stress and Shear Areas
Where:
UTS = ultimate tensile strength of the bolt material ( psi, MPa )
AS = the tensile stress area of the bolt ( in.2, mm2 )
D = nominal diameter of the bolt ( in., mm )
n = number of threads per inch
FTen = the tensile force required to break the bolt ( lb, N )
If the computed FSt is greater than FTen your deign is adequate.
