mstickma that's a useful link for many threadforms. The thread depth variable, t, in the calculation can be set to suit any particular threadform.

John,
Thanks for creating this spreadsheet. It has saved me the time of recreating it from a similar Mathcad file I was using.
I was wondering if you could elaborate on what the thread depth variable is in the sheet. I took it as 0.600 X P for metric fine threads. I found this at: http://www.colinusher.info/Livesteam/mewdata.html#data
Is this correct?

There is a very useful tool on the Norbar website called the Torque Tension Calculator. It provides a useful check and useful thread dimensions which can be inserted into the spreadsheet calculation.
