Does Your Torque Tool Calibration Certificate Pass Inspection?

10/05/2016 09:00 AM

An inspector asks to see the calibration certificate for your torque wrench. Do you say “Of course,” and hand it over? It’s the job of construction inspectors to make sure work is done to the correct standards and with properly maintained equipment. Getting caught without a proper calibration certificate can lead to re work, delays […]

Industrial Bolting Tool Applications for the Wind Turbine Industry

09/07/2016 09:00 AM

The wind turbine industry is going to take off over the next few decades. According to projections from the U.S. Dept. of Energy, total wind power capacity will increase from 113.43 gigawatts in 2020 to 404.25 gigawatts by 2050. And that’s good news for the bolting industry, whose precision torque tools are necessary to keep […]

What is the Difference Between ISO 17025 and NIST?

08/31/2016 09:00 AM

Last month, we took a look at the difference between ISO 17025 accreditation and ISO 9001 certification, and weighed which one was more important. Today, we’re going to explore another set of certifications: ISO 17025 and certification from the National Institute of Standards and Technology, otherwise known as NIST. Let’s take a look at the […]

Tightening with Hydraulic Bolt Tensioners

08/17/2016 09:00 AM

While many of our blog posts focus on torque wrenches, it’s important to recognize some of the other members in the bolt tightening family. Today we’ll look at one of those tools: hydraulic bolt tensioners. For this tool to do its job, you’ll need to begin with a bolt that has an end that protrudes […]
