When nuts and bolts are fastened together under load the By using ultrasonics, bolt tension monitors are not affected
action of tightening the nut increases the force applied to by temperature, friction or resistance factors affecting the
the bolt causing elongation. accuracy of standard torque measurement techniques -
giving the BG80TDL accuracy within 0.0001mm (0.00001
The BG80TDL bolt tension monitor accurately measures inch).
this elongation allowing the gauges to accurately measure
time (nanoseconds), elongation, load, stress, and %strain Using the gauge’s USB interface together with the
of the bolt. optional shut off accessory the gauge can be programmed
to automatically stop the tightening process when the
appropriate load has been applied.

How does it work?

As a fastener is tightened it stretches (elongates) in length.

Manual torque wrenches measure the force applied when tightening a fastener, the accuracy can be
affected by temperature, friction and resistance.

As the gauge ultrasonically measures the change in length accurately determining the applied load of
a fastener as it is tightened, they are not affected by these factors.
