Notes pertaining to the Thread length of Socket Head Cap Screws

The basic thread lengths (LT) listed directly below the nominal sizes in the
above two tables represents the nominal length up to which all screws of that
diameter shall be fully threaded.
To determine the threaded portion of the screws with a nominal length
greater than LT, subtract the minimum design grip length (LG from the
nominal length (L).
For screws over 1 inch in diameter and of nominal lengths longer than LT, the
maximum grip gaging length (LG and the minimum body length (LB) of the
screws shall be determined as follows.
LG = L - LT
LB = L - LTT
Where: L = Nominal Length
Where: LT = Minimum thread length tabulated below
Where: LTT = Maximum total thread length tabulated below
