Bolt Torquing & Tensioning

About This Course

hen tensioning a bolt to a specific torque, it is important to be aware of the factors that must be in place to avoid under tightening or overtightening the bolt. A bolt that is not correctly tensioned to a torque can have major consequences. Hydraulic torque tensioning of bolts is still the method that is used in the vast majority of places when we talk about torque tensioning over XXX Nm. Torque tensioning is the same, regardless of whether it is hydraulic tensioning or using electric/battery powered nut runners. However, some precautions and principles that must be observed. We train customers and partners about correct torque tensioning, because we know what the consequences would be if a bolt is either under tightened or overtightened.

Who Should Attend

There are no formal entry requirements for this course.

However, learners are expected to have a good understanding of both spoken and written English.

 

Course Outline

The course is a combination of theory and practical training, so we ensure both an understanding of the mechanisms involved, and why the necessary precautions should be taken, just as it is important to understand torque tensioning itself from a purely practical point of view.
