Quality Bolting and Facade Inspections  (2.0 PDH)

by Paul C. Seewald, Innovative Manufacturing Engineering

The presentation reviews the basic requirements for ensuring bolt tension and the technologies used to achieve bolt tension.

Engineering Load Cell (ELC) Technologies incorporated the standard Direct Tension Indicator (DTI) with a bolt for a product called the DBA (DTI/Bolt Assembly) and with a nut for a product called DNA (DTI/Nut Assembly). These unique products are revolutionizing the fastener industry and the way things are bolted together. Not only are these new to the market, but most of all are user friendly and reduce installation errors.
