How Do I Know What Bolt Size I Need?
When choosing bolts for a project, you need to match the bolt length, diameter, and thread. Here’s how to do it:
- Diameter: Measure the diameter of the hole or threaded opening the bolt will go into. The bolt diameter should match this measurement.
- Length: Measure the thickness of the materials being fastened together, plus any washers and nuts. The bolt should be long enough to fully engage the nut or threaded hole, but not so long that it protrudes excessively.
- Thread pitch: Use a thread gauge to determine the number of threads per inch (for imperial) or the distance between threads (for metric).
- Material thickness: A general rule of thumb is to use a bolt diameter that is 1.5–2.5 times the thickness of the thinner material being fastened.
- Load requirements: Choose thicker and stronger bolts for high torque or heavyweight applications.
- Head style: Choose based on your application needs (hex, socket, etc.).
- Material: Select based on strength requirements and corrosion resistance needed.
