For less than 100% bolt to tool ratio tensioning it is recommended This indicates the lost

to use two tightening pressures. Tentec refer to these pressures as load due to the load
transfer factor occuring
Pressure A and Pressure B. These two pressures compensate for 60
when the tool pressure is
the bolt load loss that occurs when a bolt is tensioned adjacent to 50 released
an already tensioned bolt. The already tensioned bolt looses load as 40 This indicates the final
retained load in the bolt
load is being applied to its adjacent partner. 30
To compensate for this load loss, extra load is applied in the form 20
of pump pressure A, to the first bolt so that it relaxes down to the
10
required load.

Retained Bolt Load = (N or Tons)
Bolt Tensile Stress Area = (mm2 or In2)
