About

About Applied Bolting Technology, Inc. We make Squirter DTIs, i.e., load cells, that assure compliance with bolting standards & specs. Torque, Turn-of-Nut, and TCs can all produce false positive tension, and regularly do: Torque scatter is ±40%, for new bolts, and worse for weathered. Relying on torque is optimism, at best. TCs are torque bolts that are adversely affected by cold or wet weather. Turn-of-Nut can be defeated by mispresenting turn angle, regardless of turn applied. DTIs read load. If a bolt is tight, a Squirter DTI will show it, independent of weather, torque, angle, tool, or skill.
