Bolt Torque From Bolt Load

Calculate bolt torque from bolt load and thread pitch.

The bolt pitch diameter can be calculated from the bolt diameter and the bolt pitch. The mean radius of the nut face can be taken as the middle diameter between the bolt diameter and the nut width across the flats. The flank angle is equal to half of the thread pitch angle. The friction factor is assumed to be the same for both the bolt thread and the nut face contact. Bolt stress is equal to the bolt load divided by the tensile area. Bolt tensile area can be calculated for either ANSI threads or ISO threads. Bolt size can be calculated for either UNC, UNF, BSW or ISO bolts. The design stress can be calculated for either SAE, ISO or ASME bolt materials.

CALCULATOR : Bolt Torque From Bolt Load [FREE]   ±

Calculate bolt torque from bolt load.

The bolt pitch diameter can be calculated for either ANSI or ISO threads. The mean radius of the nut face can be taken as the middle diameter between the bolt diameter and the nut width across the flats. The flank angle is half of the thread angle: 30 degrees for v threads (ISO NPT UTS), 27.5 degrees for Whitworth and BSP threads, and 0 degrees for square threads. Typical values of friction factor vary between 0.05 and 0.4. The friction factor is assumed to be the same for both the bolt thread and the nut contact face.
