Bolt Torquing / Tensioning

Whats is Bolt Torquing?

Torquing is the most commonly used way to achieve fastener preload with bolted joints. Torquing produces this load through rotational force on a nut or bolt head. This torque is usually measured in foot-pounds (ft-lbs.) or Newton-meters (Nm).

Whether the bolt torque is achieved through the use of a manual “clicker” torque wrench, pistol grip torque wrench, or a hydraulic torque wrench, it is the most simple method of achieving axial load.

The big advantage to torquing is that is typically more cost-effective than tensioning.
