Often we are contacted by customers who have issues with stripped thread in holes. Stripped thread in holes happens when to much force is applied on the joint. As the force is to high, the connection is ripped out damaging your thread, leaving a stripped thread that is no longer usable. Stripped thread is most common to happens when connections are made in soft materials. For the reperation of stripped thread, a Keensert can be used. Due to its design, the Keensert will offer a higher resistance to pull-out of the joint. To prevent stripped threads, you can always verify your joint strenght by de formula: Pull-out strenght = shear engagement of the joint x ultimate shear strenght of the parental material If this calculation shows that the pull-out strenght is lower than the forces that will be applied on the joint, it is best to use a Keensert to avoid stripped thread from happening.
