CALIBRATION OF HYDRUALIC JACKS AND LOADCELLS UP TO 1500 TONS
CALIBRATION RESULTS ARE TRACEABLE BACK TO NIST.
Skidmore Bolt Testers
Skidmore first developed bolt tension calibration technology in the 1950s, and their units became the industry standard for testing high-strength bolts. In the same way that “Kleenex” became the generic term for tissues, “Skidmore” is the generic industry term used when referring to bolt tension calibrators. Today, both Skidmore-Wilhelm and Norwolf offer lines of bolt testing machines that are used for installations performed using manual, electric, pneumatic and hydraulic wrenches.
Skidmore bolt testing is required in applications such as steel buildings, bridges and similar structures. Skidmore bolt testing is performed for two main purposes:
Preinstallation Verification (PIV) Testing, and Rotational Capacity (RoCap) Testing
