This grip tolerance chart has been compiled to meet the technical requirements of EN 1090-2 section 8.22 (stated below)
This has resulted in an anomaly whereby shorter bolt lengths, in order to meet these requirements, have a similar minimum and maximum value or even a minimum value that is too large (highlighted) in these cases additional washers
either under the bolt head or the nut will need to be used to reduce the minimum grip value. Obviously this is an oversight as far as the standard is concerned therefore common sense" may need to be used in such situations.
Notes from BS EN 1090-2:2008 section 8.2.2
Reference Min Grip: For preloaded bolts at least four full threads (in addition to the thread run out) shall remain clear between the bearing surface of the nut and the unthreaded part of the shank.
Reference Max Grip: The length of protrusion shall be at least the length of one thread pitch measured from the outer face of the nut to the end of the bolt.
