Body

Ultrasonic bolt stress monitor determines whether a bolt is properly tightened. A highly accurate device, monitor is important tool in construction of such structures as pressure vessels, bridges and power plants where precise measurements of stress on a tightened bolt is critical. Overtightened or undertightened bolts can fail and cause serious industrial accidents or costly equipment breakdown.

Abstract
Ultrasonic bolt stress monitor determines whether a bolt is properly tightened. A highly accurate device, monitor is important tool in construction of such structures as pressure vessels, bridges and power plants where precise measurements of stress on a tightened bolt is critical. Overtightened or undertightened bolts can fail and cause serious industrial accidents or costly equipment breakdown.
