There really is only one accurate way to determine the load or stress a bolt is under - and that's to measure it.

INTEGRA uses sophisticated ultrasonic equipment to precisely measure the load or stress on a particular bolt, delivering the knowledge required to increase or decrease the load on that bolt.

We introduced the use of Echo^TM 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.
