Determination of Bolt Stress

Equation [0-1] SbSel = SgT *(Ag / (nb*Ab)) = 98169 Psi 677 Mpa
Equation [0-4] SbSel = Min(Sbsel, Sbmax) = 21006 Psi 145 Mpa
Equation [0-5] SbSel = Max(Sbsel, Sbmin) = 21006 Psi 145 Mpa
Table O-4.1-2 Maximum permissible bolt Stress prior to bolt damage, Sfmax = 74999 Psi 517 Mpa ASME Sec.2 Part 'D' / (Tensile Stress)
Equation [0-6] SbSel = Min (Sbsel, Sbmax) = 74999 Psi 517 Mpa

Additional Checks
Equation [0-7] Sbsel ≥ Sgmin-S [Ag / (Ab*nb)] = 74999 ≥ 65446 Psi 1
Equation [0-8] Sbsel ≥ [Sgmin-O * Ag +(3.14/4)*Pmax* GI.D^2] / [ Øg *Ag*nb] = 74999 ≥ 73863 Psi 1
Equation [0-9] Sbsel ≤ Sgmax [Ag / Ab*nb] = 74999 ≤ 130892 Psi 1
Table O-4.1-4 Øfmax = 0.489 Deg.
Equation [0-10] SbSel ≤ Sfmax (Øgmax / Øfmax) = 74999 ≤ 153372 Psi 1
