Dimensional and assembly data for M16 Stud Bolt, Double-End to GB/T 901 / DIN 939. Includes head size and width across flats, clearance-hole and tapping-drill diameters, tightening torque per property class, and the sizes to step up or down to when the joint requires it.
M16 Dimensional Row (GB/T 901 / DIN 939)
| Thread size | Pitch (mm) | Length L (mm) | Engagement depth bm (mm) | Material | Reference standard |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| M16 | 2.0 | 150 | 24 | Cl. 8.8 alloy steel | DIN 939 / GB/T 901 |
Hole Sizes for M16
| Coarse-thread pitch (ISO 724) | 2 mm |
|---|---|
| Through-hole / clearance (ISO 273 medium) | 17.5 mm |
| Tapping drill, coarse thread | 14 mm |
Tightening Torque for M16
| Class 8.8 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 209 Nm |
|---|---|
| Class 10.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 306 Nm |
| Class 12.9 (dry, ~µ 0.125) | ≈ 358 Nm |
Indicative dry-joint values. Lubrication can lower the required torque by 15–25%. Always confirm against the joint design, especially when going up a strength class.
Proof Load & Strength for M16
| Tensile stress area As (ISO 724) | 157 mm² |
|---|---|
| Proof load, class 8.8 | 91 kN |
| Proof load, class 10.9 | 130 kN |
| Proof load, class 12.9 | 152 kN |
| Min. ultimate tensile load, class 8.8 | 125 kN |
Proof load = tensile stress area × the proof stress Sp of the class, per ISO 898-1 — Sp is a lower figure than the yield stress Rp0.2 and the two are not interchangeable. The stress area is computed from this size's own diameter and pitch, so a fine-pitch designation gives the fine-pitch figure. Design the joint so the working preload stays below the proof load of the class selected.
Mating Parts for M16
For M16, pair with a M16 hex nut (ISO 4032 / DIN 934) and, where used, a M16 flat washer (ISO 7089 / DIN 125A) under the head and under the nut.
When to Step Up or Down from M16
When the joint preload approaches the proof load of M16 class 8.8, step up to M20 class 8.8 (or move to M16 class 10.9). When the joint is over-specified, M12 often saves weight and cost without losing the safety margin.
Custom manufacturing · Made to drawing
Need stud bolt, double-end in a size this table does not list?
This page covers M16 stud bolt, double-end. Dimensions, material, finish and form are specified from the drawing — a bolt outside the standard range is a variation on existing tooling rather than a new design. Made by cold heading or hot forging.
Minimum order from 2,000 pieces; samples within 7 days of drawing approval.
