Prevailing Torque
Prevailing torque is performed to understand the mechanical and physical properties of steel nuts and bolts, or locking nuts and threads, by measuring the torque required to overcome friction whilst they are being fastened in a particular environment.
These types of fasteners are found in most industries and sectors, from construction, oil and gas to commercial applications and household items such as furniture and bikes.
Locking nuts and threads are extremely common types of fasteners. From tightening a bolt on a flat-pack piece of furniture during assembly, to manufacturing a rotating blade for a wind turbine, we see these fasteners in every industry, including construction, oil and gas, commercial and household applications.
