Bolt iQ
Predictive analysis for direct bolt tension measurement
Bolt iQ: accurate bolt measurement in seconds
Traditional bolt tension testing infers tension from elongation or torque using invasive methods that often damage the bolt.
Bolt iQ uses patented wave analysis to measure tension directly, which supports faster, safer and more comprehensive inspections.
This repeatability means it’s easy to verify bolt integrity and inform decisions that drive more value at key milestones over the lifecycle of an asset, such as:
- Construction, installation and break-in maintenance
Early quality control assurance to find and rectify design or implementation issues - Scheduled maintenance and servicing
Use historical tension data to optimize the frequency and focus of scheduled maintenance - Future development and design
Make confident decisions about asset life extension and future designs optimizations
How it works
Bolt iQ is a complete solution for faster, safer, and more accurate bolt tension inspections. There are three components:
Handheld, cloud-connected IoT device
Use acoustic wave technology to measure bolt tension directly and to a high degree of accuracy in seconds.
Intuitive project management software
Validate and manage measurement data with ease.
Cloud-based platform
Automated analysis and reporting for record management.
Maximum insight. Minimal effort.
Accuracy
Bolt iQ combines longitudinal and shear wave analysis for precise measurements and reduced risk to the bolt, unlike torque wrench or elongation methods.
Efficiency
Bolt iQ uses handheld devices enabling faster, safer and validated capture of more accurate tension readings.
Traceability
Automated, cloud-based capture and reporting of every test on every bolt tested, enabling dynamic tracking of an entire bolt population for better planning and decision-making.
Wind
Bolt iQ was developed for the wind industry to provide next generation accuracy, efficiency and traceability for this critical component of wind energy infrastructure. Other benefits include maintenance, cost-savings and life extension.
