if d is the normal diameter of a bolt in mm, then the initial tension in kg in a bolt used for making a fluid tight joint as for a steam engine cover joint is calculated by the relation ???
Hello Aspirant,
This discussion on The initial tension (in newtons) in a bolt used for making a fluid tight joint like steam engine cover joints, is calculated by the relation (where d = Nominal diameter of bolt in mm) and is 2840d.
All the best.. good luck
