If Torque isn't Cutting it on Your Wind Project, You Found the Right Place

Tens of millions of Squirter DTI's have revolutionized the bolt-up process on power plants and other structural steel projects, making bolt installation and inspection easy and accurate. Now the Wind Power Industry is beginning to look at them also.

The bolting process within wind generators has been done using torque values. Some jobsites spend as much as 12 man-hours each day setting the pressure on hydraulic wrenches to try to obtain a certain value of torque which they have been told will produce a minimum tension in the bolt. But the equation of a certain torque value with a certain tension value, we know, is, at best, inaccurate, and may be the reason why flange bolts in wind generator shafts have to be retorqued periodically.

Squirter DTI’s measure exactly what matters the most: bolt tension. If it takes a lot of torque to make them squirt, so be it. If it takes less torque, great. Squirter DTI’s don't care how much how much energy it took to turn the nut along the threads of the bolt. They only care about the clamp load applied to the joint by tensioning the bolt. It’s like having a Skidmore-Wilhelm calibrator on every bolt.

Watch for big M36 to M64 squirter DTI’s made to suit the DIN 6914 bolt tensions in a wind generator shaft near you!
