Theoretical weight from nominal dimensions. Actual weight normally runs 2–3% higher because of the under-head radius, chamfers and thread tolerances. Use it for costing, packing and freight estimates; for contract quantities confirm against a weighed sample.

Weight chart — kg per 100 pieces

ISO 4014 partly threaded hex bolts, carbon steel at 7.85 g/cm³.

How this is calculated

Weight is the sum of the volumes, multiplied by the material density:

  • Hexagon head or nut — a hexagonal prism: 0.866 × s² × k, where s is the width across flats and k the height. For a nut the threaded hole is deducted.
  • Plain shank — a cylinder at nominal diameter.
  • Threaded portion — a cylinder at the pitch diameter, d₂ = d − 0.6495 × p. The thread crests and roots roughly balance around the pitch diameter, so it represents the metal actually present. Nominal diameter overstates the weight; minor diameter understates it.

Thread length. Metric partly threaded bolts follow ISO 888: 2d + 6 up to 125 mm, 2d + 12 over 125 to 200 mm, 2d + 25 above 200 mm. IS 3757 structural bolts use their own shorter tabulated thread lengths. Inch bolts follow 2d + ¼" up to 6" long and 2d + ½" above.

Inch threads. UNC coarse to 1". Above 1" the calculator uses the 8 UN series, which is standard practice for large structural and flange bolting — not UNC.

We manufacture the bolts in this calculator

S.R. Forgings has forged high tensile fasteners at Focal Point, Ludhiana since 2009 — property classes 4.6 to 12.9, standard sizes and made to drawing, with rolled threads up to ø100 mm.
