Seeking screw design codes or guidance
Seeking screw design codes or guidance
(OP)
In a previous post I described an application where i want to use high strength threaded fasteners connected to a tapped steel plate. Pretty much all the design guidance I have seen applies to bolted connections secured with nuts. This is not my situation.
Is there any screw-specific design guidance out there?
All assistnace is appreciated.

RE: Seeking screw design codes or guidance
The situation you're describing is I believe what is classed as a fixed fastener situation.
The tolerances required to make it work are different from a floating fastener (nut & bolt).
Or if the positional tolerances aren't the same on both sets of holes:
H = F +T1 + T2
This is in appendix B of ASME Y14.5
KENAT, probably the least qualified checker you'll ever meet...
