Tensile stress area Per ASME B1.7-2006 Definitions [ back to main page ]
Tensile stress area: an empirically derived for computing the tensile stress of an externally threaded part, so its strength is consistent with the basic material strength of the part. The tensile stress area is typically defined as a function of either pitch diameter or minor diameter, or both, to calculate a circular cross section of the fastener, correcting for the notch and helix effects of the thread.
