| ULTRASONIC MEASUREMENT ENSURES MECHANICAL JOINT INTEGRITY |
| 03 July 2008 |
| Although measurement of the torque applied to a bolt or other threaded fastener during tightening provides sufficient feedback in most applications, there are more specialised tasks where measurement of the fastener tension is essential to ensure the integrity of the mechanical joint. To address this requirement, a leading torque tools manufacturer has introduced the USM-3 ultrasonic bolt meter – a compact, lightweight, field-portable unit that gives precise measurement of elongation and load in threaded fasteners. |

| High accuracy torque multiplier for wet valve actuation |
| 09 June 2008 |
| A leading torque tools manufacturer has developed an innovative torque multiplier for the subsea tools market. Designed as an adapter to allow API 17D Class 4 intervention torque tools to generate the torque required to handle Class 7 applications, the new torque multiplier delivers a higher level of accuracy than alternative solutions, and increased flexibility in use through its added-value features and its ability to be configured in two standard lengths. |
