Mechanical Bolting
The TSL Mechanical Bolting Course equips participants with the knowledge and practical skills necessary for safe and effective bolting operations across industrial, structural, and mechanical applications. This 1-day course provides hands-on training in the setup, use, and safety protocols for electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic torque/tension tools.
Taught by ASME-certified instructors, this training is designed to meet the highest industry standards. Tech Safety Lines is proud to be the premier authorized training provider in the United States for HYTORC, the global leader in industrial bolting systems.
Participants will learn to identify hazards associated with torque/tension applications, safely handle and store bolting equipment, and interpret pressure conversion charts. The course also covers the generic setup and use of hydraulic tension tools and teaches industry-standard bolting patterns, including the +4 method. Additionally, students will gain a clear understanding of structural vs. mechanical bolting requirements and when each is necessary.
By the end of this training, students will be able to confidently operate bolting tools while ensuring safety, reliability, and efficiency in their work environments.
At the end of the course, students will be able to:
- Identify hazards associated with electrical, mechanical, and hydraulic torque/tension tools
- Identify hazards associated with torque/tension applications
