Torque Value Computation and Joint Analysis

Have large diameter fasteners you need to tighten properly? We have the answers.

Have bolts you cannot identify? Although many new overseas manufacturers are formed weekly, we can identify most sources. It is also important to identify the grade of fastener you have; not only the strength but is the steel cold worked, precipitation hardened or strain hardened?

Have a multiple bolt connection you need to be sure is evenly loaded? There are certain techniques that must be followed to assure an even clamp load on the joint.

As simple and small as they are, bolts are very important parts in any machine or system. When bolt failures occur, it can adversely affect the system, resulting to further damage of the equipment and costly interruption to your business’ operations. Parts repair or replacement and a system overhaul due to such incidents are expenses that businesses want to avoid. Moreover, failures in equipment can lead to safety risks and injuries to both staff and end users.
