Tune in as Atlas Copco’s Tightening Services Lab Manager Jason Benford compares a torque control tightening versus a torque plus angle process by measuring the clamping force.
He starts with the torque control process to 114 Nm and tightens a group of bolts to see what kind of consistency of clamp load results. Jason discovers that the orque control process resulted in just over 11,000 lbs of average clamping force with a range of over 3,000 lbs. Next, Jason uses the torque plus angle strategy to see if it tightens up the distribution of clamp load seen in the first test. Do you think the strategy will prove to be better? Keep watching to find out!
