BoltSafe: Revolutionizing Bolted Connections

Bolted connections are ubiquitous in engineering, but they often present challenges related to ensuring and maintaining the required bolt load. Insufficient or uneven bolt loads can lead to gasket leaks, while excessive loads can cause premature bolt failure. Traditional methods of monitoring and adjusting bolt loads are time-consuming, expensive, and prone to errors.

BoltSafe offers a groundbreaking solution to these problems. By integrating a load sensor into the bolted connection, BoltSafe provides real-time measurement and monitoring of bolt load. This enables:

• Accurate Bolt Load Determination: During assembly, BoltSafe ensures that the correct bolt load is applied, preventing underloading or overloading.
• Continuous Monitoring: After assembly, BoltSafe continuously monitors bolt load, identifying any deviations from the desired value. This eliminates the need for costly and time-consuming periodic inspections.
• Coefficient of Friction Determination: A simple test allows for precise determination of the coefficient of friction, enabling accurate tool setting calculations.
• Enhanced Safety and Reliability: By ensuring optimal bolt load, BoltSafe improves joint reliability and reduces the risk of failures.
• Cost Savings: By eliminating unnecessary inspections and re-tightening, BoltSafe significantly reduces maintenance costs over the life of the bolted connection.

With BoltSafe, bolted connections become more dependable, safer, and more cost-effective. By addressing the long-standing challenges associated with bolt load management, BoltSafe is revolutionizing the way we design, install, and maintain bolted structures.
