4) Bolt Tightening
The CONTRACTOR shall, where bolted joints are required, tighten The High

a. Turn-of-Nut Tightening
When the turn-of-nut method is used there shall first be enough bolts brought
to a “snug tight” condition to insure that the parts of the joint are brought into
good contract with each other. Snug tight is defined as the tightness attained
by a few impacts of an impact wrench or the full effort of a man using an ordinary
spud wrench. Following this initial operation, bolts shall be placed in any remaining
holes in the connection and brought to snug tightness. All bolts in the connection
shall then be tightened additionally by the applicable amount of nut rotation
specified in Table 1, with tightening progressing systematically form the most
rigid part of the joint to its free edges. During this operation there shall be no
rotatin of the part not turned by the wrench.

a) Nut rotation is relative to bolt, regardless of the element ( nut or bolt ) being turned.
For bolts installed by ½ turn and less, the tolerances should be plus or minus 30 ,
for bolts installed by 2/3 turn and more, the tolerance should be plus or minus 45
b) No research work has been performed to establish the turn-or-nut procedure when
bolt lengths exceed 12 diameters. Therefore, the required rotation must be determined
by actual test in a suitable tension device simulation the actual conditions.
b. Calibrated Wrench Tightening
When calibrated wrenches are used, they should be set to provide a tension
at least 5% in excess of the minimum bolt tension. The wrenches shall be
calibrated at least once each working day for each bolt diameter being installed.
Wrenches shall be recalibrated when significant changes are made in the
equipment or of when a significant difference is noted in the surface condition
of the bolts, nuts, or washers. Calibration shall be accomplished by tightening,
in a device capable of indication actual bolt tension, three typical bolts of each
diameter from the bolts being installed.
When adjusting the wrenches to provide the required tension, it shall be verified
during actual installation in the assembled steel work that the calibration selected
does not produce a nut or bolt head rotation from snug tight greater than the
permitted in Table-1 If manual torque wrenches are used, nuts, shall be in
tightening motion when torque is measured.
When using calibrates wrenches to install serveral bolts in a single connection,

the wrench shall be returned to “touch up” bolts previously tightened, which may
have been loosened by the tightening of subsequent bolts, untill all are tightened
to the prescibed amount.
