CONTACT PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
The knowledge of the correct clamping force in a bolted joint is important in the prevention of leakage and in extending the life span of the joint. One of the methods to tighten the joints to the correct clamping force would be to use torque wrenches but this and other techniques do not indicate …
