Anyone know where I can find the max tensile load of typ. galvy 1/4-20, and 3/8-16 rod? I had them at one point but dang link is toast.....

Or maybe your looking for something like this
which is located here MacLean
 
One of many here for tensile strength of thread rod, or yield strength which is different that shear strength. http://www.marfas.com/atr.shtml
via Google search using, "tensile strength rod"
Demins for Stainless 304 & 316.... Anyway I have seached several different combos of words but come up with crap..... I remember it took me some time to get it before for Dottie rods - which I figure are typical of the low ball end - and I can easily get the tensile and shear values of many fasteners for bolt or rod instalation - just not the rod itself.....
 
www.globalspec.com

They sub phrase "the engineering Search Engine"

It's a business web search engine: this listing will require you to sign up

I signed up and get an e-mail daily of what I choose at the time, Enclosures, once your in they will let you in on any information.

If you go to the Google base search, I listed its at the top and they list tensile strengths to 125,000 PSI. Google and other engines can see what they want to release the Global engine wants your E-mail.

Hope that still helps
 
I have hung 50' of 1000a busduct hanging in a demo by 1 -3/8 rod and it did not drop until I cut about 3/4 of the way through it 30 ft in the air. It registered about an 8 on the richter scale when it hit the floor. All of the safety ropes my boss rigged snapped imediately. It was one of the few times I refused to cut the rods until I moved the scaffold out from under it. He ridiculed me but I stood my ground and told him to go cut the last rod. I was glad I did as it would have collapsed the scaffold from the weight. He was a lousy rigger.

Type in page 250 of 314. Looks like 240 and 610 lbs respectively.

The B-Line strut catalog might have rod capacities in the index too, but that one is out in the truck.:smile:
Ah ha!!!!!! Thank you so very much..... I can now keep a few hairs on my puny head..... FYI I already searched my aged B-line catalog to no avail, and searched the Erico site as well.

I have always called it 200, and 500 for those, and have gone on that for years, but a GC I'm working with wanted to see something typ. (since I dont know the brand of rod) in writing to settle his own head - which means I can settle mine.

Situation - need a trapeze to hang a box, and then independant of box.... hang a 200# custom bronze fixture. So the two 3/8 rod the trapeze are on are good, and it seems the two 1/4 rods through the box too. Cool beans.

Thanks again!
Mark
