Fastener Design 10

[dhavaltrivedimech]

I have few question on fasteners design :



1. How to select the right thread size for particular joint.

2. How to know the tension in the particular joint. Also type and direction of forces/loan on the joint.

3. How to know the minimum no of thread engagement required in the joint.

4. How to know the thread engagement requirement into the joint.

5. How to calculate the tightening torque. Also the Clamping load and Preload.

If your application is a bolted/gasketed flange, try looking at Lamon's Bolted Joint Handbook. I've got all the others, but it serves very well for everyday use/references.
