Bolt Tension Gauge Calibration
What are Bolt Tension Gauges, and How are They Used?
A bolt tension gauge is a device designed to measure a bolt’s tension. The gauge ensures the bolt’s tightness is sufficient for the intended application. Bolt tension gauges ensure the accuracy, reliability, and safety of bolts, and they’re commonly used in manufacturing, construction, and aerospace applications.
Bolt tension gauges help to prevent the complications that occur when a bolt has the incorrect tension or is over or under-tightened. Bolt tension is essential to consider when determining the integrity of bolted joints. Failure to maintain the correction bolt tension could comprise a product’s safety, leading to the following complications:
- Loosened Joints
- Reduced Load Carrying Capacity
- Seal Damage
- Thread Stripping
What are Bolt Tension Gauge Calibrations, and Why are They Needed?
Bolt tension gauge calibrations help technicians and manufacturers as they verify or restore the accuracy of bolt tension gauges. In preparation for calibration, technicians inspect the device for damage and clean it to guarantee it is in good condition. During the calibration process, technicians apply force to the bolt and compare the readings from the bolt tension gauge to a reference instrument’s readings. Our technicians recognize the gauge as calibrated if the readings are within the accepted range of results.
