Fastener Single Thread Tensile Stress Area Formula and Calculator Per. ASME B1.1

The thread tensile stress area formulas are used for the purpose of product acceptance computations.

Tensile stress area:

Eq. 1
As = 3.1416 [ D2 / 2 - 3H / 16 ]2

or

Eq. 2
As = 0.7854 [ D - 0.9743 / (1/P) ]2

Eq. 3
Basic thread triangle height
H = 0.86602540P

where

D = basic major diameter
D2 = basic pitch diameter
1/P = number of threads per inch
H = Height of sharp V-Thread Triangle

V-Thread Profile
