Minimum Thread Engagement Bolt Failure Chart Metric

This document provides minimum thread engagement charts for metric bolts made of low carbon steel, nodular iron, and aluminum with coarse and fine threads. The charts list the nominal bolt diameter and stress area, and provide minimum thread engagement lengths in millimeters for different material grades and thread classes to prevent bolt failure. Minimum thread engagements range from 5.6 to 86.7 mm depending on the bolt size, material, and class. The charts can be used to determine safe thread engagement lengths during design and installation.
