A325 Bolt Length
(OP)
if my material is 4 7/16" thick. How long should my 3/4" A325 bolt be? Is there a formula to calculate this?

Equally, you may find you are quoted an obscene price for custom-length bolts when a standard-size 6 inch (instead of 5-3/4 for example) is available off the shelf.

When any ten thousand of your future customers loses their bolts (or breaks it off, or strips its threads thorugh stupidity or innocent error) will you have the means and customer support and shipping staff and on-line ordering and packing staff available to get him replacements 24-7-365? Or do you expect him to get such replacement from MSC, Fastenal, or Home Depot or Walmart?

It is amazing the number of dumb-a$$ inspectors and ironworkers that believe the "old wives tale" that you MUST show 2-4 threads. Sticking threads out into empty air is silly. It is usually somewhat unavoidable, because of there being standard lengths of bolts [vs. something designed to fit the joint exactly], so you usually have 1-3 exposed threads. But there has never been a Code or structural requirement to have more engagement than 'Full', with the bolt flush with the face of the nut.
