STRUCTURAL
Easier & Better than Turn-of Nut
-
You don't have to remember to stop turning at 1/3, 1/2, or 2/3 turn.
-
No matching-marking necessary.
-
No need for a second set of hands to hold a spud wrench.
Better than a Twist-Off Bolt
-
Tension control rather than torque control.
-
No spline end to twist off and become a safety hazard.
-
No problems caused by the splined end shearing off in torsion before the plies are together.
Easier & Better than Calibrated Wrench
-
You don't have to establish and then check the torque resistance of bolts daily and for each lot and when your wrench condition changes.
Erector Benefits
-
Enables correct tensioning as fast as the wrench can be moved to the next bolt, because the operator can see when to stop.
-
The orange silicone is easy for erectors to see, so they don't need a feeler gage.
-
Erectors can show they have tightened all the bolts.
Inspector Benefits
-
Inspectors can easily see the orange Squirt™ media at the outer diameter of the DTI, they don't have to climb out to all the connections or lug around a torque wrench to know the connection has been completed.
-
And instead of sampling only some of the DTI's with a feeler gage, Squirter® DTIs allow virtually 100% inspection.
