Diameter of Bolt under Load Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Bolt Diameter = (Load by Stud*4/pi*1/(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))^(0.5)
d_b = (F_Stud*4/pi*1/(n*f_t))^(0.5)
This formula uses 1 Constants, 4 Variables

Constants Used

pi - Archimedes' constant Value Taken As 3.14159265358979323846264338327950288

Variables Used

Bolt Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Bolt diameter measure the distance from the outer thread on one side to the outer thread on the other side. This is called the major diameter and will usually be the proper size of the bolt.
Load by Stud - (Measured in Newton) - Load by Stud is the term applied when some form of spring energization is included in the stud bolting system.
Number of Bolts - Number of Bolts is simply defined as the number of bolts that are under our consideration.
Allowable Stress in Stud Material - (Measured in Newton per Square Meter) - Allowable Stress in Stud Material is defined as the material failure stress (a property of the material) divided by a factor of safety greater than one.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Load by Stud: 27 Newton --> 27 Newton No Conversion Required
Number of Bolts: 3 --> No Conversion Required
Allowable Stress in Stud Material: 55 Newton per Square Millimeter --> 55000000 Newton per Square Meter (Check conversion here)

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

d_b = (F_Stud*4/pi*1/(n*f_t))^(0.5) --> (27*4/pi*1/(3*55000000))^(0.5)

Evaluating ... ...

d_b = 0.000456451847557309

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

0.000456451847557309 Meter -->0.456451847557309 Millimeter (Check conversion here)

FINAL ANSWER

0.456451847557309 ≈ 0.456452 Millimeter <-- Bolt Diameter

Thickness of Stuffing Box Body

LaTeX Go Thickness of Stuffing Box Body = (Design Pressure of Stuffing Box*Internal Diameter Stuffing Box)/(2*Allowable Stress for the Stuffing Box Material)+6

Internal Diameter of Stuffing Box

LaTeX Go Internal Diameter Stuffing Box = Diameter of Shaft+2*Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box

Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box if Shaft Diameter is less than equal to 100mm

LaTeX Go Clearance between Shaft and Stuffing Box = 0.2*Diameter of Shaft+5

Thickness of Gland Flange

LaTeX Go Thickness of Gland Flange = (Diameter of Shaft/8)+12.5

Diameter of Bolt under Load Formula

LaTeX Go

Bolt Diameter = (Load by Stud*4/pi*1/(Number of Bolts*Allowable Stress in Stud Material))^(0.5)
d_b = (F_Stud*4/pi*1/(n*f_t))^(0.5)

What is Design Load?

the design load is the maximum amount of something a system is designed to handle or the maximum amount of something that the system can produce, which are very different meanings. For example, a crane with a design load of 20 tons is designed to be able to lift loads that weigh 20 tons or less.

How to Calculate Diameter of Bolt under Load?
