Number of Bolts required Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary
Formula Used
Number of Bolts in Joint = External Force on Bolt/Primary shear load on bolt
n = Pext/P1'
This formula uses 3 Variables
Variables Used
Number of Bolts in Joint - Number of Bolts in Joint is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration in a jointed assembly.
External Force on Bolt - (Measured in Newton) - The External Force on Bolt is defined as the forces caused by an external agent present outside of the system.
Primary shear load on bolt - (Measured in Newton) - Primary shear load on bolt is defined as the force acting in a direction parallel to a surface or to a planar cross-section of the bolt.
STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit
External Force on Bolt: 6000 Newton --> 6000 Newton No Conversion Required
Primary shear load on bolt: 1500 Newton --> 1500 Newton No Conversion Required
STEP 2: Evaluate Formula
Substituting Input Values in Formula
n = Pext/P1' --> 6000/1500
Evaluating ... ...
n = 4
STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit
4 --> No Conversion Required
FINAL ANSWER
4 <-- Number of Bolts in Joint
(Calculation completed in 00.004 seconds)

3 Design Application Calculators

Limiting force on bolt given stiffness and initial preload
Go Limiting load on Bolt = Initial preload in bolt due to tightening of nut*((Stiffness of Threaded Bolt+Combined Stiffness of Gasket and Parts)/Combined Stiffness of Gasket and Parts)
Factor of Safety in Terms of Tensile Yield Strength of Threaded Fastner
Go Factor of Safety for Bolt = Tensile yield strength of bolt/Tensile stress in bolt
Number of Bolts required
Go Number of Bolts in Joint = External Force on Bolt/Primary shear load on bolt

Number of Bolts required Formula

Number of Bolts in Joint = External Force on Bolt/Primary shear load on bolt
n = Pext/P1'

What is a fastener?

A fastener or fastening is a hardware device that mechanically joins or affixes two or more objects together. In general, fasteners are used to create non-permanent joints; that is, joints that can be removed or dismantled without damaging the joining components.
