Torque analysers and bolt auditing
Chris Morris explains why his company's new PTT torque analyser is ideal for checking/auditing pipe flanges, pressurised connections and other critical fastened joints.
It offers tool testing, graphing capabilities and a graphical menu for easy navigation.
It enables operators and engineers to ensure product quality, safety and reliability promptly in a variety of manufacturing environments.
It offers system accuracies of +/- 0.5% of readings from 20% to 100% and of +/-1% of reading from 10% to 20% of full-scale.

The LTT torque analyser is designed for torque calibration, joint testing, auditing or for force and load measurement or verification of load cells.
Brad Mountz, President of Mountz said: "The PTT torque and angle analyser reflects our understanding of the manufacturing environment where details and efficiency drive success".
"The PTT solves a number of practical problems associated with monitoring and documenting tool performance data".
Through the use of ARCII technology, the PTT automatically recognises the Mountz transducer once the two are connected.
The user interface combines an intuitive set of buttons with a sturdy LCD display that allows the operator to select the desired filter, unit, mode and setup from an easy to navigate menu structure.
The operator sets the tolerance parameters, which control the immediate visual and audible go and no-go signal response.
"I am impressed by the list of features and benefits that the PTT offers, it allows us to track data much more easily and efficiently" according to Bill Eils, Assembly Test Process Technician of Sauer Danfoss.
In manufacturing environments, tool test data are commonly shared between various departments.
The PTT solution allows for easy data sharing.
After the readings have been recorded, the up to 2500 data points are easily uploaded from the device's Flash memory to a PC through a USB interface.
Once uploaded, the test data can be shared with other users over the regular computer network.
Torque specifications or tools being used in production can thus be easily created, evaluated or confirmed.
Dynamic rundowns can be graphed for joint analysis.
The PTT solution consists of hardware and software components.
Standard accessories that are included with the PTT hand-held device are a universal charger, USB cable and protective cover.
A CD is also included with three Windows-based software programs: the PTT Interface Program, the PTT Bootloader and the Mountz Statistics Calculator.
The Mountz Statistics Calculator allows operators to perform basic SPC, CP and CPK calculations.
In order to meet the stringent requirements associated with ISO9001 quality standards, manufacturers increasingly rely on the use of a quality torque analyser to ensure that proper torque is being applied and gauge requirements are being met.
