Length of Studs
Length of Studs
(OP)
What ASME Standard(s) call out the length of a stud? I recollect that somewhere a non-pressure retaining stud is measured end-to-end while a stud used in a pressure retaining application is measured first thread-to-first thread.
What paragraph in what Standard do I find this bit of wisdom?
Thanks in advance.

For stud bolts or continuous thread stud, refer to ASME B18.12 paragraph 3.1.3.5

Is there a bit of attitude revealed here ?????
ASME does not tell you what type of pipe to use...or what diameter ....or what the length of stud should be.
The ASME standards are not prescriptive as the API codes and standards are... I certainly hope that this should be obvious to any and all readers of these fora at this point in time
My opinion only
