The BG80 range of bolt tension monitors accurately measures this elongation allowing the gauges to accurately measure time (nanoseconds), elongation, load, stress, and %strain of the bolt.
The Elcometer BG80 bolt tension monitor is available in two models: BG80DL and BG80TDL.
By using ultrasonics, bolt tension monitors are not affected by temperature, friction or resistance factors affecting the accuracy of standard torque measurement techniques - giving the BG80 range accuracy within 0.0001mm (0.00001 inch).
Using the gauge's RS232 interface together with the optional shut off accessory the gauge can be programmed to automatically stop the tightening process when the appropriate load has been applied.
Features:
Range of display & measurement options including: Elongation, Load, Stress, and %Strain, RF, Rectified, Large Digits with Limits Bar
BG80TDL features temperature compensation to counteract measurement irregularity caused by temperature change
Data storage capability: 8,000 readings and waveforms
Auto Set feature automatically optimizes detection and adjusts display
Hi/Lo Alarm tolerance limits work in conjunction with the data port
