Specification for pitch of bolts or rivets

1. Minimum pitch and minimum gauge length

= {2.5 × nominal diameter of the bolt

2. Minimum end and edge distance

$(= \left\{ {\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{\begin{array}{*{20}{c}}
{1.5 \times diameter\;of\;the\;bolt\;hole,for\;machine\;cut\;element}\\
{\;\;\;\;\;\;\;}
\end{array}}\\
{1.7 \times diameter\;of\;the\;bolt\;hole,for\;hand\;cut\;element}
\end{array}} \right.)$

3. Maximum end and edge distance

$(= \{ 12 \times t \times \epsilon,)$

Where, $(\epsilon = \sqrt {\frac{{250}}{{{f_y}}}})$

fy = yield stress

t = thickness of thinner plate
