strength. If the Female Material strength is lower i.e. J as calculated
below is greater than 1 then the length of engagement must be
increased to prevent the female thread stripping

Where:

J = Thread Engagement Ratio

If the value of J is greater than 1 then the length of engagement must

be increased to at least
