Bolt thread calcs following Bickford books û metric?
(OP)
For those who already have calculated engagement length and shear area and such according to the Bickford books, where have you found your data?
Problem is as follows: Knmax (max. ID of nut), Dsmin (minimum OD of bolt threads) and Enmax (max. PD of nut) among others, aren't given in ISO 724 (google for ISO bolt dimension => google images!).
The numbers given there are nominal, not min or max.
I don't think there will be a great difference using those numbers, however for those of you that have dealt with this before, all opinions are welcome!
I have got the 24th edition of machinist's handbook at home, but I doubt that book will give help on this.
Many thanks in advance...

For metric fasteners, VDI 2230 has equations to use for calculating engagement length. I have shown some of them in this thread: thread725-35222: Tensile capacity/minimum engagement
For the dimensions you show above, the tolerances are in micrometers, so you can use nominal values from ISO 724 without issue.

It seems I really need a copy of VDI 2230... If only i could get my boss to order... I've been buying enough books personally lately (although I keep telling myself it's a wise investment) but if I recall correctly VDI 2230 was around 180 € (?). That's just a bit too high to defend at home...
