    Abstract : Ultrasonic measurements of the preload in bolted joints is a very accurate method since it does not depend on the friction and other factors which cause difficulties for common methods. The ultrasonic method works by emitting an ultrasonic pulse into the bolt which is reflected at the end and returned to the transducer, the change in the time of flight (TOF) can be related to the elongation of the bolt and therefore the preload.

  2. 2. Ultrasonic measurement and analysis of screw elongation

    University essay from KTH/Hållfasthetslära (Avd.)

    Author : Anders Pärlstrand; [2018]
    Keywords : ;

    Abstract : Based on the customers' increasing demands on the precision of the preload in a screw joint Atlas Copco is investigating the opportunity to integrate ultrasonic technologies in their industrial tools in order to be able to measure the screw elongation and thereby preload. The preload in a screw joint is important when trying to optimize the joint in terms of weight and life time. READ MORE
