TENSION INDICATING BOLTS AND THEIR IMPORTANCE

Citizen_fasteners13 Apr, 2023Other

Citizen Metals?s Tension indicating bolts, also known as tension control bolts, are fasteners that are designed to be tightened to a specific level of tension, rather than a specific torque value. These bolts are commonly used in applications where it is important to achieve and maintain a specific level of tension in the bolt, such as in structural steel applications. Citizen Metals Tension indicating bolts typically have a specially designed head that allows them to be installed using a calibrated wrench or torque wrench. Once the bolt is tightened to the specified tension level, the head of the bolt will twist or shear off, indicating that the correct tension has been achieved.
