BV Verification

rtbolt RT-Bolt conducted a series of tests on various competitor bolt load monitoring technologies. These tests were to examine the actual performance of these methods under common operational conditions and were independently verified by Bureau Veritas, ensuring the accuracy and reliability of the results. 

The findings highlighted RT-Bolt's superior performance in providing precise and consistent bolt load measurements under various conditions. 

This impartial verification underscores RT-Bolt's position as a leading solution in the field, offering unmatched accuracy and reliability for critical bolted joint applications. 

The independent verification by a respected authority like Bureau Veritas further reinforces the credibility and trustworthiness of RT-Bolt in the industry.

For a more detailed description of the testing see article PVP2018-85004 Bolt Measurement Comparison article.

RT-Bolt has undergone rigorous testing to ensure accuracy in any application. Independently verified by Bureau Veritas as the most precise and robust solution for bolt load monitoring, RT-Bolt has been proven to excel in extreme temperatures and conditions. Repeatability, user error, bolt bending, impact and nut position all exhaustively tested to guarantee premium performance every time. Trust RT-Bolt for unparalleled accuracy and dependability.

The general accuracy and repeatability of each unit under workshop operating conditions. RT-Bolt maintained the highest accuracy of all tested products.
 

The effect of shock to the units, such as being
dropped or struck with a spanner or wrench while installed.
RT-Bolt was the most accurate, even after
repeated severe impacts on the bolt.

variablity
The ability of the operator to influence the reading either inadvertently or intentionally, due to shoulder and pin datum points locations. RT-Bolt had the lowest variation in reading due to transducer position.

bolt
The effect that bolt bending, generally caused by flange rotation, will have on the accuracy of the reading.
RT-Bolt was the most accurate by comparison to all other methods.

The likelihood that error may occur during assembly due to nut location on the stud. RT-Bolt was the only method not affected by nut location.
