Tune in as Atlas Copco’s Tightening Services Lab Manager Jason Benford tightens bolts of varying temperatures and compares the results.
As his control, he tightens a bolt at room temperature until it breaks, which is once it reaches 435 Nm of torque. Jason then does the same to bolts at temperatures of 30º, -109º, and 450º. Keep watching to see how the bolts react at these different temperatures. Did the temperatures affect the bolts the way you thought? At the end of Jason’s experiment, he discovers that the bolts didn’t react the way he expected.
