Bolted joints are some of the most fundamental yet incredibly strong connections used in modern engineering and construction.

Gasketed bolted flange joints continue to be a critical component in a wide variety of industrial applications, ranging from pressure vessels to large-scale piping systems. The analysis and ...

The bolt and joint connection, and how they interact with each other, are also important. General said when gaskets require a very tight seal, then high-strength fasteners are necessary.

A 10-millimeter bolt was used to introduce the load. The results from in-plane quasi-static loading (Fig. 5) clearly indicate that the patch has a positive and strength-enhancing effect on the joint.

This video takes a detailed look at bolted joints, and how preload, the tensile force that develops in a joint as it is torqued, can significantly improve the performance of a joint. The video ...

Compression Limiters are used to protect plastic components in bolted joints and maintain a threaded fastener’s clamp load by eliminating plastic creep. To function properly, bearing surface ...

In tests, the bolt has survived NAS 3550 tests of 1,780 cycles/min for 17 min without loosening. It also has been lab tested for severe vibration and impact based on National Aerospace Standard 3550.
