Explanation:

Gross diameter = Nominal diameter + 1.5 mm, ϕ ≤ 25 mm

Gross diameter = Nominal diameter + 2 mmϕ > 25 mm

ϕ = Nominal diameter

Additional Information As per the IS 800 – 2007, the minimum pitch that should be maintained is 2.5 times the nominal diameter of the bolt and

 the minimum end distance that should be maintained is 1.5 times the hole diameter.

The hole diameter is to be calculated based on the following table:

Nominal diameter

Hole size

12 - 14 mm

1 mm extra

16 - 24 mm

2 mm extra

> 24 mm

3 mm extra
