bolts vs screws
asme y14.5 'tends' to differentiate between bolts and nuts in the fixed and floating fastener formula section.
is there a consensus amongst engineers/designers/cad operators as to the technical correctness of the definition of bolts verses screws?
check out our whitepaper library.
this terminology debate has been around for a while. there is no technically compelling reason to differentiate externally threaded fasteners into the two groups of bolt and screw. french and german languages use a single word (vis and schraube) so why can't english? since the helical pattern is called a screw thread, i think screw is the natural choice.
