Fastner Pitch
Fastner Pitch
(OP)
How to calculate rivet and bolts pitch. What are the minimum edge distance?I have seen in many places the fasteners is very close to edge( i mean with no edge distance at all)..how does it work?

RE: Fastner Pitch
A rule of thumb for edge distance to bolt or rivet centre is normally 1.5 times bolt or rivet diameter, although I have seen 1.0 bolt diameter used.
The distance from the edge to fastener centre is based on preventing tear out of the bolt or rivet when the joints put in tension. Click on the link below and under the heading of fasteners under direct shear you will find formula's for calculating shear stress relating to fastener edge distance.

RE: Fastner Pitch
Thanks. The link has been very useful to me in understanding the concepts.
RE: Fastner Pitch
Thanks. The reference you made is really good. I am going through it to get a better understanding.
