      <image:title>News - Velocity Bolting - Understanding Grip Length in Bolts and Studs - Make it stand out</image:title>
      <image:caption>Figure: Diagram illustrating grip length (green line) in different fastening scenarios. (A) Through-hole stud with nuts - grip length spans the distance between the two nuts’ bearing faces, encompassing the two gray plates (representing the flange). (B) Bolt in a blind tapped hole – grip length spans from the bottom of the bolt head to the first engaged thread in the base (gray block). (C) Stud threaded into a blind hole (with a nut on top) - grip length spans from the nut’s underside to the first thread engaged in the base. In each case, the grip length equals the total thickness of material clamped under tension.</image:caption>
