Product Information

According to EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 the bearing resistance F b,Rd of the bolt is not affected by the spacing p 1, p 2 and edge distances e 1, e 2 provided that the following limits are observed: e 1≥ 3.0 d 0, e 2≥ 1.5 d 0, p 1≥ 3.75 d 0, p 2≥ 3.0 d 0. According to EN1993-1-8 § 3.8(1) for long joints where the distance between the centers of the end fasteners measured in the direction of load transfer is more than 15 d the design shear resistance F v,Rd of all the fasteners should be multiplied by the reduction factor β Lf specified in EN1993-1-8 equation 3.5. The interaction between shear and tension is expressed in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 according to the following linear relation: The tensile stress area A s corresponds to the reduced cross-sectional area inside the threaded part of the bolt.

The punching resistance of the bolt B p,Rd should be verified against the applied tensile load F t,Ed in accordance with EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4: Proof load is defined as the maximum tensile force that can be applied to a bolt that will not result in plastic deformation. A material must remain in its elastic region when loaded up to its proof load typically between 85-95% of the yield strength. Acceptable clamp load is typically 75% of proof load.The tensile stress area depends on the thread and it can be calculated according to ISO 898-1 Section 9.1.6.1. The second number corresponds to the ratio of yield strength to ultimate strength e.g. 60% for class 4.6 leading to a yield strength of 0.60 × 400 MPa = 240 MPa. They are often used to secure engines and drives, alongside a host of other demanding applications. The first number of the bolt class corresponds to the ultimate strength e.g. 400 MPa for classes 4.x, 500 MPa for classes 5.x, 600 MPa for classes 6.x, 800 MPa for classes 8.x, and 1000 MPa for classes 10.x. The diameter equal to the external diameter of the threads or the overall diameter of the part. (Nominal diameter is more of a label than a size. For example, a bolt and nut may be described as being ½” diameter. But neither the external threads of the bolt nor the internal threads of the nut are exactly .500 in diameter. In fact, the bolt diameter is a little smaller and the nut diameter a little larger. But it is easier to specify the components by a single size designation since the bolt and nut are mating components.)

According to EN1993-1-8 § 3.6.1(4) the design shear resistance F v,Rd should only be used where the bolts are used in holes with nominal clearances not exceeding those for normal holes as specified in EN 1090-2 'Requirements for the execution of steel structures'. The design shear resistance of bolts F v,Rd as given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 is only valid when the bolt is used in holes with nominal clearance not exceeding the values given in the standard EN 1090-2 'Requirements for the execution of steel structures', as specified in EN1993-1-8 §3.6.1(4). Refer to the charts below, which show the ideal tightening torque for each bolt grade for a variety of sizes. Therefore, based on the equations above, the bearing resistance of the bolt F b,Rd is not affected by the distances e 1, p 1, e 2, p 2 when the following conditions are satisfied: The calculated strength properties for coarse pitch thread bolts may be used conservatively for fine pitch thread bolts.For full table with more Property Classes - rotate the screen! Metric Bolts - Fine Threads -Proof Loads Thread The yield strength f yb and the ultimate tensile strength f ub for bolt classes 4.6, 4.8, 5.6, 5.8, 6.8, 8.8, and 10.9 are given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.1. v is a coefficient that takes values α v = 0.6 for bolt classes 4.6, 5.6, 8.8 or α v = 0.5 for bolt classes 4.8, 5.8, 6.8 and 10.9. When the shear plane passes through the unthreaded part of the bolt α v = 0.6.

According to EN1993-1-8 Table 3.4 the bearing resistance F b,Rd for bolts in holes other than normal should be multiplied by the following reduction factors: Oversized holes = 0.8, slotted holes with longitudinal axis perpendicular to the load transfer direction = 0.6. The resulting hole diameter d 0 for each type of hole (normal, oversize, short slotted, long slotted) is determined by adding the nominal clearance given in EN 1090-2 Table 11 to the nominal diameter d of the bolt.Minimum and maximum spacing p 1, p 2 and edge distances e 1, e 2 for bolts are given in EN1993-1-8 Table 3.3. The minimum values are: e 1≥ 1.2 d 0, e 2≥ 1.2 d 0, p 1≥ 2.2 d 0, p 2≥ 2.4 d 0, where d 0 is the diameter of the hole, e 1, p 1 are measured parallel to the load transfer direction and e 2, p 2 are measured perpendicular to the load transfer direction. d m is the mean of the across points and across flats dimensions of the bolt head or the nut, whichever is smaller. In general the stress area of fine pitch thread bolts passing through the threaded part is larger as compared to the coarse pitch thread bolts.

For standard coarse pitch thread and fine pitch thread bolts the nominal stress area A s is provided in ISO 898-1 Tables 4 to 7. The width of the hexagon nuts across flats s is specified in ISO 898-2 Table A.1 for bolt sizes M5 to M39. The smallest or largest pitch diameter that fits onto a screw or into a nut, including all of the form deviations such as lead, thread angle, taper, and roundness. Functional diameter is a measure of the ability to assemble the thread.

Definition of standard metric bolts

A is the appropriate area for shear resistance. When the shear plane passes through the threaded part of the bolt A is equal to the tensile stress area of the bolt A s. When the shear plane passes through the unthreaded part of the bolt A is equal to the gross cross-sectional area of the bolt A g. The standarized properties of metric bolts are specified in the international standard ISO 898-1:2009 'Mechanical properties of fasteners made of carbon steel and alloy steel - Part 1: Bolts, screws and studs with specified property classes - Coarse thread and fine pitch thread'. Coarse threads are those with larger pitch (fewer threads per axial distance), and fine threads are those with smaller pitch (more threads per axial distance). Coarse threads have a larger threadform relative to screw diameter, whereas fine threads have a smaller threadform relative to screw diameter. Depending on size, they have a proof load of 580-600 MPa, minimum yield strength of 640-660 MPa, and a minimum tensile strength of 800-830 MPa. Class 8.8 bolts come in all sizes ranging up to 72 mm. Metric class 12.9 bolts are made from quenched and tempered alloy steel and see the most use in heavy-duty applications.
