An ultrasonic bolt gauge measures the elongation or stretch of a bolt by emitting ultrasonic waves and analysing the time taken for the waves to travel through the bolt. This provides valuable data on bolt integrity.

Bolt elongation is measured using ultrasonic bolt gauges that emit ultrasonic waves through the bolt. By analysing the time it takes for the waves to travel, the gauge calculates the elongation, indicating the bolt's tension.

Bolt tension measurement refers to assessing the amount of tension or stretching force applied to a bolt during tightening. This measurement is crucial for ensuring the integrity and reliability of bolted connections.

Bolt preload, or the initial tension applied to a bolt, can be measured using various methods, including ultrasonic bolt gauges and tensioning devices that provide real-time data on the bolt's tension.
