For the injector faceplate to stay fastened to the manifold, the bolts must satisfy a factor of safety for both tensile and shear stress. A net upward pressure acting on the faceplate applied to the area of the injector requires all bolts on the injector manifold -both axial and radial- to withstand this force to maintain structural integrity.

Tensile Stress on Each Bolt:

\[ \begin{align*} & F_{up} = P_{injector}*A_{injector} \\ & F_{up} + N*F_{bolt}=0 \\ & \\ &|F_{bolt}| = \frac{P_{injector}*A_{injector}}{N} \\ & \\ & Stress_{Tensile}: σ = \frac{|F_{bolt}|}{A_{bolt}} = \frac{P_{injector}*A_{injector}}{N*A_{bolt}} \\ \end{align*} \]


The area of the bolt can be determined by using its pitch diameter, which is calculated using its major diameter and the spacing between each thread.

\[ \begin{align*} & D_{pitch} = D_{major} - (0.6495*t) \\ \end{align*} \]
