They teach a handy shortcut to convert easily and accurately between the two and include helpful tips.
The seminars help professionals in any industry pair the right nuts and bolts to handle load and shear levels and avoid the traps of paying too much for fasteners and the false economies that lead to disastrous failures.
Fasteners from the weakest to the strongest are presented, comparing markings, shapes and colours that distinguish grades, strength levels and other properties.
Both seminars build on the first seminar in the series, Bolting Basics.
This step by step review describes in detail how bolts and nuts are manufactured, compares the advantages and disadvantages of cold- and hot-formed and machined fasteners and offers tips on avoiding mistakes when choosing among different grades and price levels.
This is valuable, in-depth instruction for designers, engineers, buyers, assemblers, mechanics and other professionals whose jobs involve selecting and using bolts, screws and nuts for industrial projects of every size.
"Designers and engineers need easily digestible information to do their jobs well, but get very little training on fasteners in college or on the job".
"A US $0.05 fastener can make or break a US $250,000 project", said Tony Peterson, Atlantic Fasteners President.
Demonstrations and close-ups of fastener samples make the technical concepts easy to understand.
Dan McKeeman, Atlantic Fasteners Tech Services and Made-to-Print Manager, presents all three seminars in a relaxed yet clear, logical approach.
Each seminar runs about 30 minutes.
