Torque Auditing Examples

Dynamic Auditing Example

As previously discussed, it is fastener tension that holds an assembly together.

Residual tension on the fastener is the characteristic that is really of concern in a fastener audit. Due to its nature, tension is a very difficult thing to measure.

Since fastener tension results from the applied torque energy, it follows that the two bear a relationship to each other.

In other words, measuring torque yields a picture of tension.
