Product catalog summary
Company Overview
Hydratight is a global leader in bolted joint solutions, known for setting international standards in joint integrity. The company collaborates with leading OEMs and utilizes advanced technology to provide reliable solutions for critical assembly problems. Hydratight is committed to safety and quality, adhering to ISO 9001:2008, ISO 14001:2004, and OHSAS 18001:2007 standards. Their services include torque and tension bolting equipment, portable machining equipment, product sales, rental, technical support, and training.
Ultrasonic Load Monitoring
Hydratight offers BoltScope Pro and BoltScope II, devices that measure the actual load in fasteners using ultrasonic technology. The Pulse-Echo technique is employed, where a transducer sends a pulse through the fastener, and the echo is measured to determine stress, load, elongation, and strain. These devices are applicable to various tightening methods, including manual and hydraulic tools.
BoltScope Pro
The BoltScope Pro is a compact, mobile device designed for harsh environments. It uses nanosecond technology to measure bolt load, elongation, stress, and strain. Key features include a user-friendly interface, automatic temperature compensation, and the ability to store up to 8,000 readings. It operates in temperatures from -10˚C to 60˚C and has a battery life of up to 150 hours.
BoltScope II
Recognized as a market standard, the BoltScope II is used for applications requiring precise load tolerances. It measures bolt strain using ultrasonic signals and displays load, stress, or elongation. The device supports data upload/download for analysis and reporting. It can store 10,000 readings and operates in temperatures from -10˚C to 60˚C with a battery life of 40 hours.
Applications
Hydratight's ultrasonic products are suitable for power generation, petrochemical, diesel and gas engines, construction, automotive, industrial presses, and aerospace applications. They provide accurate fastener tension measurements essential for maintaining joint integrity.

Ultrasonic Load Monitoring Staying at the forefront of Ultrasonics technology has resulted in Hydratight developing the BoltScope II and more recently the BoltScope Pro. BoltScope Pro & BoltScope II ultrasonically measures the actual load in the fastener at point of loading and throughout the service life of the fastener. The technology of the equipment is based on a well-known and reliable PulseEcho measuring technique. A transducer is placed on one end of the fastener and generates a pulse which travels down the length of the fastener. The pulse is reflected off the other end and the echo returns...

Ultrasonic Load Monitoring-6

BoltScope II BoltScope II has set the benchmark of accuracy in fastener load monitoring over the past ten years, it is now established and recognised as the market standard. BoltScope II is designed to verify any application that requires close load tolerances on fasteners. The instrument is particularly useful for verifying manufacturing processes or conformity of bolt tightening processes. The BoltScope II measures bolt strain using the well proven principle of measuring the Time of Flight of an ultrasonic signal. The BoltScope II displays the load, stress or elongation of a fastener through...
