Minimum Bolt Spacing Solution

STEP 0: Pre-Calculation Summary

Formula Used

Minimum Bolt Spacing = 2.5*Nominal Bolt Diameter
b_s(min) = 2.5*d_b
This formula uses 2 Variables

Variables Used

Minimum Bolt Spacing - (Measured in Meter) - Minimum Bolt Spacing is Minimum pitch (distance between centres of bolt holes) shall not be less than 2.5 times the nominal bolt diameter.
Nominal Bolt Diameter - (Measured in Meter) - Nominal Bolt Diameter is the diameter equal to the external diameter of the threads or the overall diameter of the part.

STEP 1: Convert Input(s) to Base Unit

Nominal Bolt Diameter: 1.5 Meter --> 1.5 Meter No Conversion Required

STEP 2: Evaluate Formula

Substituting Input Values in Formula

b_s(min) = 2.5*d_b --> 2.5*1.5

Evaluating ... ...

b_s(min) = 3.75

STEP 3: Convert Result to Output's Unit

3.75 Meter --> No Conversion Required

FINAL ANSWER

3.75 Meter <-- Minimum Bolt Spacing
