Bolt Load Calculation Software Know every nut, bolt and joint inside out with Informate Software from Hydratight Hydratight offers the next generation of software that contains and stores large capacities of engineering calculations with an extensive flange type and material database. Hydratight’s Informate Software provides bolt loads and tool pressures on a range of flanged joints and clamp connections. When used with the correct assembly and built-in tightening procedures, the recommended bolt load values are independently verified to deliver leak-free joints. Informate can be used in virtually any situation Wherever threaded fasteners need to be tightened in a controlled manner, Hydratight’s Informate Software is ideal. You can use this revolutionary software for process piping, including flange and hub connectors; customdesigned flanged connections such as vessels and heat exchangers; or other structural connections. It can also be used in a variety of other applications: • Calculating bolt loads and stresses based on Hydratight’s recommended values or user defined tightening specifications • Providing tooling pressures for Hydratight torque and tension equipment • Analyzing existing connections to confirm the effect of altering conditions, such as temperature or tightening method • Testing custom designed connections to determine loads, stresses and tool fits Informate Bolt Load Calculation Software Scan to view demo video
