ANSI/ASME Standards for Fasteners - Thread Length Inquiry
Hello all,
I do not have the actual ANSI/ASME standards for the fasteners I am looking into, however, I am able to get dimensional info and some ANSI standard information using the Machinery's Handbook (26th edition).
From my understanding, if one were to order a Hex bolt (for example) that coincides with the ANSI/ASME B18.2.3.5 standard, then that person would receive a bolt with a partial thread of length "X".
If I am interested in a FULLY THREADED hex bolt, would it still fall under that standard?
In other words, do the ANSI standards for hardware specifically target certain thread lengths? A vendor has stated that they do; however, if I were to use a hex bolt in the Solidworks Toolbox, it gives me the option of selecting a full thread and still describes the bolt as being a ANSI standard piece of hardware.
I hope this makes sense.
Thanks for taking the time to address this.
