Tentec, a major UK manufacturer and supplier of bolt tensioning equipment announces the launch of new software to allow users to manage and rapidly calculate bolt tensioner pressures. Tentec Bolt Load Software version 0.2.0 has been designed with the philosophy of minimal input, maximum output. Documentation for multiple bolted joint projects can be created very quickly with minimal operator input. The software package con-tains data for the following standard bolted flanges:-
ANSI B16.5 MSS SP-44API 6AAPI 17SVNorsok L-005
Tentec supply standard topside and subsea ranges of bolt tensioning equipment as well as specially designed bolt tensioning tool solutions, the software contains data for all of Tentecs standard tool ranges and also offers the ability to create a user definable special tools library. Another useful feature offered by the software is “Manual Mode”, here the user can define a special bolted joint that is not a standard flanged joint. The software can handle both special “Blind Threaded” bolted joints as well as the conventional “Through Bolt” type joints.The software is ideal for use by Bolt Tensioning Service companies who have to submit bolted joint tensioner data sheets to their customers. The output documenta-tion can be easily re-branded to display the service companies name and logo.The documentation package that the software produces consists of a summary sheet which provides an overall list and core information of all applications covered in the project and an individual detailed application sheets for every single joint contained in the project.
