FULL THREAD STUDS

Full Thread Studs

Full thread studs are made by cutting all thread rod to length or roll-threading pitch diameter cut blanks. One important consideration in ordering full useable thread studs is specifying the length. There are two standards. One is measuring the overall length of the part (this is how we typically supply our studs full-form). The other is measuring from the first full-form useable thread on one end to the first full thread on the other. As studs are generally chamfered on both ends, the first-to-first measurement will be 1 to 2 pitches less than the overall. First-to-first measurements are usually specified in high temperature and high pressure applications, particularly where ASTM A193 is specified.

What is a Full Threaded Stud

A full thread stud is a metal alloy rod that has threads over its entire body. Unlike bolts or screws, it does not have a head. They can be connected with a nut or screwed into a tapped hole.

Other names include:

  • Threaded Rod
  • All-Thread Rod
  • Continuous Thread Stud
  • Flange Stud Bolt
  • Stud Bolt
  • Redi-rod
  • Threaded Bar

Key characteristics include:

  • Continuous threads along its full body
  • No head
  • Various thread types including UNC, UNF, Metric, & Acme

Distinction from other Stud Types

Be sure not to confuse full threaded studs with:

  • Double end studs which have threads on both ends but a plain unthreaded section in the middle.
  • Tap-end studs that have different threaded end lengths.
  • Partially threaded rods which only have one end threaded.

Applications & Industries

Below are examples of applications & industries that use full thread studs in exotic alloy material.

High-Temperature Fastening in Boilers and Turbines

  • Use: Secure components exposed to extreme heat and pressure (e.g., turbine casings, heat exchangers).

  • Materials: Inconel 718, Incoloy 800, Incoloy 825
