— Powerpoint: Assessment and Evaluation of Bolt Tensioning Using Direct Tension Indicating Washers With Silicone Rubber as a Visual Indicator of Tension Level

In 2008 the University of Toronto, at the request of Applied Bolting, subjected Squirter® DTI's to independent testing with the objective of determining just how accurately they work. Using outside disinterested workers, who were asked to follow Applied's calibration instructions and then to tighten bolts blind using just Squirter® DTIs, and then by checking actual bolt tensions using ultrasonic measurement, they found that Squirter® DTIs gave them almost exactly the tension they were aiming for.

Here's the University of Toronto report in summary form as delivered to the Research Council on Structural Connections (RCSC) June 2008 meeting:
