Inspection of bolted connections. Bolted connections. Checking the presence and condition of twists

6.2.16.1 The tightening of bolted connections of the nodal linings of aluminum dome roofs is monitored when dismantling the cards to control beams and support crowns (Table 6.4, lines 12 and 27 and Table 6.5, line 20). Additionally, the tightening of bolted connections in four node linings is checked according to the diagram shown in Figure 6.18.

Figure 6.18 – Diagram of places for dismantling the hub caps (top view of the dome roof)

6.2.16.2 Before checking the tightening, the protective caps must be removed and visual control bolted connection. The surface of bolts, nuts and washers should be free of cracks, scale, rust, burrs, dents and nicks on the threads. The bolts must have a marking indicating the tensile strength, the symbol of the heat number, and the manufacturer's mark on the bolt marking climatic version HL (according to GOST 15150) must contain the designation “HL”.

6.2.16.3 The tightness of bolted connections is checked by measuring the tightening torque with a torque wrench and a feeler gauge. The number of controlled bolted connections in a unit must be at least:

If the number of bolts in a connection is up to four – all bolts;

From five to nine - at least three bolts;

From 10 or more - 10% of bolts, but not less than three in each connection.

If one bolted connection is detected with non-standard tightening
(subclause 6.2.16.6), double the number of bolted connections is subject to control. If one bolt with abnormal tightening is detected during re-inspection, all bolts in all inspected units must be checked, bringing the tightening torque of each to the required value.

6.2.16.4 To carry out tightening control threaded connections with a controlled tightening torque of high-strength bolts of the upper node linings, torque wrenches of scale and limit types and probes are used that meet the requirements given in table 6.10.

Table 6.10 – Requirements for means of monitoring bolted connections

Torque wrenches for monitoring the tightening of high-strength bolts must be calibrated at least once per shift in the absence of mechanical damage, as well as after each replacement of the control measuring instrument or repair of the wrench, in accordance with SNiP 3.03.01-87 (clause 4.27).



6.2.16.5 Before inspecting a bolted connection, it is necessary to set on a torque wrench the torque specified in the design documentation, upon reaching which a click will occur. In the absence of data established in the design documentation, the torque M, Nm, is determined by the formula:

M = K∙P∙d, (6.11)

where K is the average value of the torque coefficient established for each batch of bolts in the manufacturer’s certificate or determined at the installation site using control measuring instruments. For bolts according to GOST R 52644 K = 0.18;

P – design bolt tension specified in the working drawings, N (kgf). In the absence of design data, the calculated bolt tension is determined according to SNiP 2.03.06-85, 8.10 using the formula:

Р = Rbh×Abn, (6.12)

where Rbh – design resistance tensile strength of a high-strength bolt is determined by the formula:

R bh = 0.7∙R bun , (6.13)

where R bun is the minimum tensile strength of the bolt, taken according to
SNiP II-23-81* (Table 6.1) and given in Table 6.12.

A bn – cross-sectional area of ​​the bolt, accepted in accordance with GOST 9150, GOST 8724 and
GOST 24705, adopted from the values ​​given in SNiP II-23-81* (see table 6.2) and are shown in table 6.11.

6.2.16.6 The criterion for compliance with the tightening of a bolted connection is the absence of rotation of the nut or bolt.

6.2.16.7 Tie tightness of the top knot lining and aluminum profile, at the joints, should be checked with a probe 0.3 mm thick, which should not pass between the assembled parts to a depth of more than 20 mm according to (SNiP 3.03.01-87). A diagram for checking the junction of the upper assembly lining and the aluminum profile with a probe is shown in Figure 6.19.

Mounting connections with high-strength, tension-controlled bolts

4.20. Workers who have undergone special training, confirmed by an appropriate certificate, may be allowed to make tension-controlled bolt connections.

4.21. In shear-resistant connections, the contacting surfaces of the parts must be processed in the manner provided for in the design.

Oily contamination must first be removed from surfaces that are and are not subject to steel brush treatment.

The condition of surfaces after treatment and before assembly should be monitored and recorded in a log (see mandatory Appendix 5).

Before assembling the connections, the treated surfaces must be protected from dirt, oil, paint and ice formation. If this requirement is not met or the assembly of the joint begins more than 3 days after preparing the surfaces, their treatment should be repeated.

4.22. The difference in surfaces (deplanation) of the joined parts over 0.5 and up to 3 mm must be eliminated machining by forming a smooth bevel with a slope no steeper than 1:10.

If the difference is more than 3 mm, it is necessary to install gaskets of the required thickness, processed in the same way as the connection parts. The use of gaskets is subject to agreement with the organization that developed the project.

4.23. The holes in the parts must be aligned during assembly and secured against displacement with plugs. The number of plugs is determined by calculating the effect of installation loads, but they must be at least 10% when the number of holes is 20 or more and at least two when there are fewer holes.

In the assembled package, fixed with plugs, blackness (mismatch of holes) is allowed, which does not interfere with the free installation of bolts without distortion. A gauge with a diameter 0.5 mm larger than the nominal bolt diameter must fit into 100% of the holes in each connection.

It is allowed to clean the holes of tightly tightened bags with a drill whose diameter is equal to the nominal diameter of the hole, provided that the blackness does not exceed the difference between the nominal diameters of the hole and the bolt.

The use of water, emulsions and oil when cleaning holes is prohibited.

4.24. It is prohibited to use bolts that do not have a factory marking of tensile strength on the head, a manufacturer's mark, a symbol of the heat number, and on bolts of the HL climate version (according to GOST 15150-69) - also the letters "HL".

4.25. Bolts, nuts and washers must be prepared before installation.

4.26. The bolt tension specified by the design should be ensured by tightening the nut or rotating the bolt head to the calculated tightening torque, or by turning the nut at a certain angle, or in another way that guarantees that the specified tension force is obtained.

The tensioning order should prevent the formation of leaks in the bags being tightened.

4.27. Torque wrenches for tensioning and checking the tension of high-strength bolts must be calibrated at least once per shift in the absence of mechanical damage, and also after each replacement control device or key repair.

4.28. The calculated torque M required to tension the bolt should be determined by the formula

where K is the average value of the twist coefficient established for each batch of bolts in the manufacturer’s certificate or determined at the installation site using control instruments;

P - design bolt tension specified in the working drawings, N (kgf);

d - nominal diameter of the bolt, m.

4.29. The tension of the bolts according to the angle of rotation of the nut should be done in the following order:

manually tighten all the bolts in the connection to failure using a mounting wrench with a handle length of 0.3 m;

turn the bolt nuts at an angle of 180° ± 30°.

This method is applicable for bolts with a diameter of 24 mm with a package thickness of up to 140 mm and the number of parts in the package up to 7.

4.30. One washer in accordance with GOST 22355-77 must be installed under the head of a high-strength bolt and a high-strength nut. It is allowed, if the difference between the diameters of the hole and the bolt is no more than 4 mm, to install one washer only under the element (nut or bolt head), the rotation of which ensures the tension of the bolt.

4.31. Nuts that have been tightened to the design torque or turned to a certain angle should not be secured with anything additional.

4.32. After tensioning all the bolts in the connection, the senior assembly worker (foreman) is obliged to put a mark (a number or sign assigned to it) in the designated place.

4.33. The bolt tension should be controlled:

when the number of bolts in a connection is up to 4 - all bolts, from 5 to 9 - at least three bolts, 10 or more - 10% of bolts, but not less than three in each connection.

The actual torque must be no less than the calculated one, determined by formula (1), and not exceed it by more than 20%. Deviation of the nut rotation angle is allowed within ± 30°.

If at least one bolt is detected that does not meet these requirements, double the number of bolts is subject to inspection. If, during re-inspection, one bolt is detected with a lower torque value or with a smaller angle of rotation of the nut, all bolts must be checked to bring the tightening torque or angle of rotation of each nut to the required value.

The 0.3 mm thick feeler gauge should not fit into the gaps between the connection parts.

4.34. After checking the tension and acceptance of the connection, all outer surfaces of the joints, including bolt heads, nuts and parts of the bolt threads protruding from them must be cleaned, primed, painted, and cracks in places where there is a difference in thickness and gaps in the joints must be puttied.

4.35. All tensioning and tension control work should be recorded in a tension controlled bolting log.

4.36. Bolts in flange connections must be tensioned to the forces specified in the working drawings by rotating the nut until the calculated tightening torque. 100% of bolts are subject to tension control.

The actual torque must be no less than the calculated one, determined by formula (1), and not exceed it by more than 10%.

The gap between the contacting planes of the flanges at the locations of the bolts is not allowed. A 0.1 mm thick feeler gauge should not penetrate into an area with a radius of 40 mm from the bolt axis.

An example of calibration of a torque wrench type KTR-3 1

_________________

1 KTR-3 keys are manufactured by installation organizations according to the drawings of the Central Research Institute ProektStalkonstruktsiya.

Torque wrenches are calibrated on special calibration stands or by hanging a load of a given size to its handle. A torque wrench is hung on a hexagonal mandrel or a tightened high-strength bolt so that its handle is in a horizontal position (see drawing).

At a fixed point at the end of the key, a load weighing

Where M z- calculated torque;

D M z- a moment equal to the product of the mass of the key and the distance from its center of gravity to the axis of the mandrel or bolt;

l- the distance from the center of gravity of the load to the axis of the mandrel or bolt.

When the load is suspended, the countdown is carried out using a recording device, for example, a dial indicator ICH 10 mm according to GOST 577-68. The measurement is carried out 2-3 times until a stable result is obtained. The calibration results are recorded in the wrench control calibration log (see mandatory appendix 7).

Tensioning Methods for High Strength Bolts

1. Tension of high-strength bolts by tightening torque

1.1. High-strength bolts should be tensioned to the design force by tightening the nuts with a torque wrench to calculated value torque. Torque value M z required to tension high-strength bolts is determined by the formula:

M z = kPd,

k- the average value of the torque coefficient for each batch of bolts according to the certificate or established using control devices at the installation site;

R- bolt tension force specified in the KM and KMD drawings;

d- nominal diameter of the bolt.

1.2. To pre-tighten the nuts, pneumatic or electric impact wrenches specified in recommended Appendix 4 and torque wrenches should be used.

1.3. When tensioning the bolt, the head or nut should be held against turning with a mounting wrench. If turning does not stop as the bolt is tightened, the bolt and nut must be replaced.

1.4. The torque should be recorded as the key moves in the direction that increases tension.

Tightening should be done smoothly, without jerking.

1.5. Torque wrenches must be numbered and calibrated. They should be calibrated at the beginning of the shift.

2. Tension of high-strength bolts according to the angle of rotation of the nut

2.1. High-strength bolts must be installed in holes free of assembly plugs and tightened with a wrench adjusted to a tightening torque of 800 N × m. Each bolt must be tightened until the nut stops rotating. After removing the assembly plugs and replacing them with bolts, the latter must be tightened to a tightening torque of 800 N × m.

2.2. To control the angle of rotation of the nuts, it is necessary to apply marks on them and the protruding ends of the bolts using a combined center punch (see drawing) or paint.

Combined center punch

1 - center punch; 2 - nut; 3 - high-strength bolt; 4 - package

2.3. The final tightening is carried out with a wrench adjusted to a tightening torque of 1600 N × m, and the nut should turn to the angle indicated in the table.

3. Calibration of impact wrenches according to the angle of rotation of the nut

3.1. Calibration of impact wrenches should be carried out using a special calibration package consisting of three bodies with a number of holes of at least 20.

High-strength bolts are inserted into the holes of the calibration package and tightened with a wrench until the nut stops rotating. A group of bolts (calibration bolts) in an amount of at least 5 pcs. don't delay.

The calibration bolts must be manually tightened with a mounting wrench with a handle length of 0.3 m until failure (initial position).

3.2. The wrench is calibrated using the prepared calibration bolts.

3.3. The compressed air pressure is set so that when the nut is turned through an angle of 180±30° from its original position, the wrench fails.

Air pressure must be checked periodically.

Air pressure should be monitored using a GOST 2405-72 pressure gauge installed at the point where the impact wrench hose is connected to the line.

3.4. When calibrating the impact wrench (to monitor the angle of rotation of the nut), marks must be placed on its replaceable head.

3.5. The impact wrench is considered calibrated if the angle of rotation of the nut during the process of tensioning all bolts at the moment of failure of the impact wrench is 180 ± 30°.

3.6. The results of the impact wrench calibration must be entered into the impact wrench calibration log (see mandatory appendix 8).

3.7. If the compressed air pressure changes after eliminating a malfunction in the impact wrench, it is necessary to carry out a control calibration.

4.11. When assembling connections, the holes in the structural parts must be aligned and the parts must be secured from displacement with assembly plugs (at least two), and the packages must be tightly bolted. In connections with two holes, the assembly plug is installed in one of them.

4.12. In the assembled package, bolts of the diameter specified in the design must pass through 100% of the holes. It is allowed to clean 20% of the holes with a drill whose diameter is equal to the hole diameter indicated in the drawings. At the same time, in connections with bolts working for shear and connected elements for crushing, blackness (mismatch of holes in adjacent parts of the assembled package) is allowed up to 1 mm - in 50% of the holes, up to 1.5 mm - in 10% of the holes.

In case of non-compliance with this requirement, with the permission of the organization - the project developer, the holes should be drilled to the nearest larger diameter with the installation of a bolt of the corresponding diameter.

In connections where the bolts work in tension, as well as in connections where the bolts are installed structurally, the blackness should not exceed the difference between the diameters of the hole and the bolt.

4.13. It is prohibited to use bolts and nuts that do not have the manufacturer’s mark and markings indicating the strength class.

4.14. No more than two round washers should be installed under the bolt nuts (GOST 11371-78).

It is allowed to install one of the same washer under the bolt head.

If necessary, oblique washers should be installed (GOST 10906-78).

The threads of the bolts should not go deeper into the hole than half the thickness of the outermost element of the package on the nut side.

4.15. Solutions to prevent self-unscrewing of nuts - installing a spring washer (GOST 6402-70) or a lock nut - must be indicated in the working drawings.

The use of spring washers is not allowed for oval holes, when the difference between the diameters of the hole and the bolt is more than 3 mm, as well as when installed together with a round washer (GOST 11371-78).

It is prohibited to lock nuts by hammering the bolt threads or welding them to the bolt shaft.

4.16. Nuts and locknuts should be tightened completely from the middle of the connection to its edges.

4.17. The heads and nuts of bolts, including foundation bolts, after tightening, must be in tight contact (without gaps) with the planes of washers or structural elements, and the bolt shaft protrudes from the nut by at least 3 mm.

4.18. The tightness of the assembled package should be checked with a 0.3 mm thick probe, which, within the area limited by the washer, should not pass between the assembled parts to a depth of more than 20 mm.

4.19. The quality of tightening of permanent bolts should be checked by hitting them with a hammer weighing 0.4 kg, while the bolts should not move.

Mounting connections with high-strength, tension-controlled bolts1

4.20. Workers who have undergone special training, confirmed by an appropriate certificate, may be allowed to make tension-controlled bolt connections.

4.21. In shear-resistant connections, the contacting surfaces of the parts must be processed in the manner provided for in the design.

Oily contamination must first be removed from surfaces that are and are not subject to steel brush treatment.

The condition of surfaces after treatment and before assembly should be monitored and recorded in a log (see mandatory Appendix 5).

Before assembling the connections, the treated surfaces must be protected from dirt, oil, paint and ice formation. If this requirement is not met or the assembly of the joint begins more than 3 days after preparing the surfaces, their treatment should be repeated.

4.22. The difference in surfaces (deplanation) of the joined parts of more than 0.5 and up to 3 mm must be eliminated by mechanical processing by forming a smooth bevel with a slope no steeper than 1:10.

If the difference is more than 3 mm, it is necessary to install gaskets of the required thickness, processed in the same way as the connection parts. The use of gaskets is subject to agreement with the organization that developed the project.

4.23. The holes in the parts must be aligned during assembly and secured against displacement with plugs. The number of plugs is determined by calculating the effect of installation loads, but they must be at least 10% when the number of holes is 20 or more and at least two when there are fewer holes.

In the assembled package, fixed with plugs, blackness (mismatch of holes) is allowed, which does not interfere with the free installation of bolts without distortion. A gauge with a diameter 0.5 mm larger than the nominal bolt diameter must fit into 100% of the holes in each connection.

It is allowed to clean the holes of tightly tightened bags with a drill whose diameter is equal to the nominal diameter of the hole, provided that the blackness does not exceed the difference between the nominal diameters of the hole and the bolt.

The use of water, emulsions and oil when cleaning holes is prohibited.

4.24. It is prohibited to use bolts that do not have a factory marking of tensile strength on the head, a manufacturer's mark, a symbol of the heat number, and on bolts of the HL climate version (according to GOST 15150-69) - also the letters “HL”.

4.25. Bolts, nuts and washers must be prepared before installation.

4.26. The bolt tension specified by the design should be ensured by tightening the nut or rotating the bolt head to the calculated tightening torque, or by turning the nut at a certain angle, or in another way that guarantees that the specified tension force is obtained.

The tensioning order should prevent the formation of leaks in the bags being tightened.

4.27. Torque wrenches for tensioning and monitoring the tension of high-strength bolts must be calibrated at least once per shift in the absence of mechanical damage, as well as after each replacement of the control device or repair of the wrench.

4.28. Design torque M, required to tension the bolt, should be determined by the formula

M = KRd, Hm (kgf×m), (1)

Where TO- the average value of the torque coefficient established for each batch of bolts in the manufacturer’s certificate or determined at the installation site using control devices;

R- design bolt tension specified in the working drawings, N (kgf);

d- nominal bolt diameter, m.

4.29. The tension of the bolts according to the angle of rotation of the nut should be done in the following order:

manually tighten all the bolts in the connection to failure using a mounting wrench with a handle length of 0.3 m;

turn the bolt nuts to an angle of 180 ± 30°.

This method is applicable for bolts with a diameter of 24 mm with a package thickness of up to 140 mm and the number of parts in the package up to 7.

4.30. One washer in accordance with GOST 22355-77 must be installed under the head of a high-strength bolt and a high-strength nut. It is allowed, if the difference between the diameters of the hole and the bolt is no more than 4 mm, to install one washer only under the element (nut or bolt head), the rotation of which ensures the tension of the bolt.

4.31. Nuts that have been tightened to the design torque or turned to a certain angle should not be secured with anything additional.

4.32. After tensioning all the bolts in the connection, the senior assembly worker (foreman) is obliged to put a mark (a number or sign assigned to it) in the designated place.

4.33. The bolt tension should be controlled:

when the number of bolts in a connection is up to 4 - all bolts, from 5 to 9 - at least three bolts, 10 or more - 10% of bolts, but not less than three in each connection.

The actual torque must be no less than the calculated one, determined by formula (1), and not exceed it by more than 20%. Deviation of the nut rotation angle is allowed within  30°.

If at least one bolt is detected that does not meet these requirements, double the number of bolts is subject to inspection. If, during re-inspection, one bolt is detected with a lower torque value or with a smaller angle of rotation of the nut, all bolts must be checked to bring the tightening torque or angle of rotation of each nut to the required value.

The 0.3 mm thick feeler gauge should not fit into the gaps between the connection parts.

4.34. After checking the tension and acceptance of the connection, all outer surfaces of the joints, including bolt heads, nuts and parts of the bolt threads protruding from them must be cleaned, primed, painted, and cracks in places where there is a difference in thickness and gaps in the joints must be puttied.

4.35. All tensioning and tension control work should be recorded in a tension controlled bolting log.

4.36. Bolts in flange connections must be tensioned to the forces specified in the working drawings by rotating the nut until the calculated tightening torque. 100% of bolts are subject to tension control.

The actual torque must be no less than the calculated one, determined by formula (1), and not exceed it by more than 10%.

The gap between the contacting planes of the flanges at the locations of the bolts is not allowed. A 0.1 mm thick feeler gauge should not penetrate into an area with a radius of 40 mm from the bolt axis.

Checking the condition of bolted connections

Bolted connections should be inspected by tapping the fastening points with a hammer. All bolted connections must be tightly secured with nuts and locknuts. The corners of the locking plates must be bent and secure the bolt nuts, preventing them from unscrewing. In case of loose fastening, secure them wrenches. Clean from dirt and ice and lubricate fastening units (bolts, hinge joints), working gate, control rulers, bolts, axles and “fingers”. For lubrication, used machine or transformer oil, CIATIM-201 (CIATIM-202), CIATIM-221 or ZhTKZ-65 lubricant are used.

Checking the presence and condition of twists

The presence and condition of the screws is checked by visual inspection and tapping the fastening points with a plumber's hammer. The twists must be installed (according to the approved installation drawings) from galvanized wire with a diameter of 4 mm on the axes of the inter-tip, working, control rods, gate hinge, as well as the attachment points of the external contactor and the electric drive headset strips with an external contactor and 3 mm on the mounting strip of the control rods.

If the twist is broken or does not match installation drawing it is replaced with a new one. Operation of fastening units without screws is not allowed.

Types of bolts. Metal ones are usually connected with bolts, less often reinforced concrete structures. The following types of bolts are used to connect metal structures: normal, rough, high precision and high-strength with corresponding nuts and washers.

Rough precision bolts are stamped from round carbon steel with a diameter of no more than 20 mm. They are placed in holes with a gap of 2-3 mm. Such bolts have increased deformability and do not perform well in shear in multi-bolt connections; therefore, their use in connections with alternating forces is not allowed. Rough precision bolts are used, as a rule, in units where one element rests on another, with transmission through a support table, as well as in connections where they do not work or work only in tension.

High-precision bolts are processed by turning lathe with a tolerance of + 0.1 mm. Such bolts are made with a diameter of 10-48 mm and a length of up to 300 mm.

High-strength bolts (otherwise known as friction bolts) are designed to transfer forces acting on a connection through friction. Such bolts are made from high-strength steels and are heat treated to finished form. The bolts are placed in holes 2-3 mm larger than the diameter of the bolt, but the nuts are tightened with a calibration wrench. Such connections are simple, but quite reliable and are used in critical structures.

The diameters for high-precision bolts are assigned equal to the nominal diameters of the bolts. The holes for such bolts have only positive deviations, which ensures installation of the bolt without difficulty. Unlike bolts of normal and coarse precision, the working part of the shaft of a high-precision bolt does not have threading, which ensures fairly complete filling of the hole and Good work for cutting To distinguish high-strength bolts from others, raised markings are applied to their heads.

Assembling connections. The assembly of bolted joints includes the following operations: preparing the joining surfaces, aligning the holes for the bolts, preliminary tightening the joint parts to be joined, drilling the holes (if necessary) to the design size, installing the bolts and final assembly.

Preparation of mating surfaces involves cleaning the mating elements from rust, dirt, oil and dust. In addition, they straighten irregularities, dents, and bends, and also remove burrs on the edges of parts and holes with a file or chisel. These operations are performed especially carefully when connecting parts with high-strength bolts, where the tight junction of all joined elements is one of the main conditions for the reliable operation of a bolted connection.

The surfaces to be joined are cleaned with dry quartz or metal sand using a sandblasting machine; roasting gas burners, steel brushes, chemical treatment.

Sandblasting is more effective than other methods, as it provides a high coefficient of friction for the mating surfaces, but this method is the most labor-intensive.

The most commonly used fire treatment method is using universal burners, which work like natural gas, and on an oxygen-acetylene mixture, and create a temperature of 1600-1800 ° C, which ensures the burning of grease stains and peeling off scale and rust.

One way to clean bolts, nuts and washers is to immerse them in a tank of boiling water and then into a container filled with unleaded gasoline with 10-15% mineral oil. After the gasoline evaporates, a thin continuous film of lubricant remains on the surface of the hardware.

Accurate alignment of the holes of the mounting parts is achieved using pass-through mandrels, which are a rod with cylindrical parts. The diameter of the mandrels should be 0.2-0.5 mm less than the diameter of the hole.

For fixation relative position mounted elements and prevent their shifting, 1/10 of the total number of holes is filled with plugs with a diameter equal to the diameter of the holes. The length of the plugs must exceed the total thickness of the elements being connected. After installing the plugs, the mandrels are knocked out. Packages of connected elements are tightened with permanent or temporary bolts, which are placed through every third hole, but at least every 500 mm.

Holes are drilled using manual pneumatic and electric machines.

Pneumatic machines can be straight, used for working in places where there are no size restrictions, and angular, adapted for working in tight spaces. Pneumatic installations are used to drill holes with a diameter of up to 20 mm.

Electric machines operate from the network alternating current voltage 220 V. In the open air, such machines are used complete with a protective switching device, and in closed, dry rooms they are grounded; the installer works with electric tools wearing gloves and standing on a rubber mat. The safest machines are those with double insulation; they can be used without additional protective measures and when working outdoors.

After drilling holes free of assembly bolts, the bolts are unscrewed and permanent bolts are installed in their place.

The nuts of all bolts (permanent and temporary) are tightened with hand wrenches (regular or ratchet). In this case, one worker holds the bolt head from rotating, and the second one tightens the nut. On bolts of normal and high precision, washers are installed - one under the bolt head and no more than two under the nut. When there are a large number of bolts in one connection, electric impact wrenches are used. The bolts are installed from the middle of the joint to the edges. On the nut side there must be at least one thread left with full profile. The quality of tightening is checked by tapping the bolts with a hammer weighing 0.3-0.4 kg. In this case, the bolts should not move or shake.

The nuts are protected from self-unscrewing by locknuts or spring washers. However, under dynamic and vibration loads, these measures are not enough, therefore, during operation, the condition of the installation connections should be systematically monitored and the nuts on loose bolts should be tightened.

Connections with high-strength bolts are shear-resistant and with load-bearing bolts. In shear-resistant connections, bolts are not directly involved in the transmission of forces: all forces applied to the mating elements are perceived only due to the friction forces arising between the shear planes. In connection with load-bearing bolts, along with the friction forces between shear planes, the bolts themselves also participate in the transmission of forces, which makes it possible to increase bearing capacity of one bolt is 1.5-2 times compared to a bolt in shear-resistant connections.

The surfaces of the elements to be connected in these cases are treated as for conventional bolted connections. Before installing bolts, washers and nuts, remove preservative grease. To do this, they are dipped in a lattice container into boiling water, and then into a container with a mixture of 15% mineral oil and 85% unleaded gasoline.

During assembly and installation of metal structures Special attention pay attention to the tension of the elements being connected. There are several ways to determine bolt tension. On construction site A method is often used to indirectly estimate the tension forces through the torque that must be applied to the nut.

Torque M is determined from the expression: M = KR·a, where P - Bolt tension force, N; d - nominal bolt diameter, mm; K is the bolt torque coefficient.

The tension of the bolts is controlled selectively: when the number of bolts in a connection is up to 5 - all bolts, when 6-20 - at least 5 bolts and when more- at least 25% of bolts in the connection. If during inspection it is discovered that at least one bolt does not meet the established requirements, then all bolts are checked. The heads of the checked bolts are painted, and all connections are puttied along the contour.
