THE
MINI-MAX
Bolt Tension Monitor
Ultrasonically measures the actual
elongation produced by tightening
a threaded fastener.

R The FIRST cost-effective ultrasonic

solution available on the market.
R EFFECTIVELY monitor your bolts
during periodic shutdowns over
the service life of the fastener.
R VISUALLY compare the unloaded
to the loaded waveform.
R MEASUREMENT QUANTITIES
Time (nanoseconds), Elongation,
Load, Stress, and %Strain.
R DISPLAY OPTIONS—RF, Rectified,
Large Digits with Limits Bar.
R DISPLAY RESOLUTION
1/8 inch VGA 240 x 160 pixels.
R STORES 8000 readings and
waveforms in multiple groups.
R BUILT-IN linear regression or vector
for optimizing load measurements.
R AUTO SET feature automatically opti-
mizes detection and adjusts display.
R HI/LO ALARM tolerance limits work
in conjunction with the data port and
external pump shut-off device.
