Boltight est depuis plus de 10 ans à l’avant-garde en matière de tension hydraulique de boulons. Nos outils de serrage apportent des solutions rapides, précises et sûres pour serrer et desserrer simultanément de multiples boulons.

ECHOMETER

Echometer is our entry-level ultrasonic bolt measurement product, it is a small battery-powered handheld device that measures bolts up to 2m in length. With a digital screen and simple scroll menus, very little training is required - it is quick and easy to use. It has built-in data recording and reporting through a RS232 interface.

Fully compatible with the Echometer+ including data transfer and ancillary equipment.

TRANSDUCER DATA & SELECTION
There are several things to consider when deciding which transducer to use:

  • The crystal diameter should be completely in contact with the bolt end surface.
  • The outside diameter should be clear of any obstruction.
  • The frequency should be chosen to suit the bolt length.
  • The larger the diameter the stronger the signal and therefore better results are obtained by using the largest size transducer that will fit on the bolt.
  • Boltight recommends the 3/8” diameter, 5MHz transducer as the best general purpose covering 90% or more of typical bolting applications.
