Yes. Calibore tools can verify hydraulic bolting system performance.
Yes. Calibore tools can verify hydraulic bolting system performance.
Skidmore Calibore tools can be used to verify the bolt tension achieved by hydraulic torque wrench systems. While hydraulic torque wrenches provide more controlled torque output than impact tools, verification may still be required for documentation and inspection. Testing ensures that pressure settings and installation methods achieve the required bolt pretension for the specific bolt size and grade being installed.
Renting provides access to specialized bolt testing equipment without the cost of purchasing and maintaining it.
Yes, they typically include the required gauge or measurement system.
Yes. They are commonly used to verify the bolt tension produced by impact tools.
It depends on the model, but many Calibore tools test common structural bolt sizes from 3/4 inch to 1-1/2 inch.
Inspectors require Skidmore testing to confirm bolting methods meet specification pretension requirements.
Not always. Torque can vary due to friction and lubrication, which affects bolt tension.
A Skidmore Calibore tool is used to measure bolt tension and verify proper pretension during structural bolting.
