| ECHOTM - PRECISION BOLT LOAD MONITOR - OVERVIEW |
 We introduced the use of EchoTM services to the international petrochemical and power generation markets - and we are the worlds largest supplier of this precision service.
The only way you can be absolutely sure about changing pressure in a bolted assembly is to measure bolt stretch and the only practical way you can do that is with ultrasonic testing. Everything else is guess work - and guesswork can be dangerous, costly and cause shutdowns.
When conventional wrenches or bolt heating torque wrenches are used, it is virtually impossible to be sure of the precise stress placed on the bolts. Bolt loadings are often uneven and above or below proper specifications.
Ultrasonic testing instantly provides a digitized read-out on bolt loading, providng the means for the operator to adjust the loading to meet design specified clamping pressure. |
| ABOUT THE TESTING UNIT |
| The unit is highly portable and simple to operate. These portable versatile units are used by specialty certified INTEGRA technicians. Ultrasonic read outs are displayed on a digitized oscillscope providing information on bolt load, stress or elongation characteristics. The unit is self-calibrating and has the capability of uploading or downloading data for reports and analysis. |
