VDI 2230 – Part 3 (draft)
Systematic calculation of highly stressed bolted joints – Information on the safe assembly of bolted joints
This guideline builds on VDI 2230 Parts 1 and 2 by providing practical guidance on assembly methods and key influencing factors such as friction. Correct assembly and the recommended design measures can prevent more than 50% of damage—often occurring years later. It is aimed at professionals in design, product development, technical services, as well as experts, certification bodies, and insurers.
