Tentec is offering a free 4-page guide to using hydraulic bolt tension tools.
.
The document is available in hard copy or as an electronic copy. Tips on Bolt Tensioning is a five step guide that gives engineers easy to understand calculation notes on how to use hydraulic bolt tensioning tools. Starting with Step 1 on how to determine the required bolt load from a known bolt stress, the document includes a list of useful formulae, as well as design checks that alert engineers to good practice techniques. Highlighted in red are areas that require particular caution and Safety Notes remind the equipment users not to exceed maximum pressure and stroke. Engineers are given generic information that can be transferred to any make of bolt tensioner.
