Culdelines on use of toting services contactors ae provided in Append. 10.1 Tightening Method/Load Control Technique Several tightening methods are available such as hand torque, slugfhand wrench, impact wrench, hydraulic torque, and hydraulic tensioner, Also, sev- eral load-contiol techniques are available. Thus, several combinations of specific joint assembly meth- ‘ods/techniques ace available for consideration. Three such combinations that are commonly used are listed as follows in ascending order of bolt-load control accuracy: (c) any tightening or tensioning meth elongation (reich) control (eg, bolt elongation ‘measurement or hydraulic tensioning).
