The Dakota BTL1-DL (New Version 2.0) Ultrasonic Bolt Tension Monitor Kit is a cutting-edge solution for achieving precise and reliable tensioning and monitoring of threaded fasteners. Leveraging advanced ultrasonic technology, this instrument accurately measures bolt elongation by analyzing the transit time of ultrasonic pulses, providing critical data for ensuring joint integrity.
This enhanced Version 2.0 hardware platform offers superior performance and reliability. For applications requiring the utmost accuracy in varying temperature conditions, the BTL1-DL features a dedicated temperature connector compatible with the optional Dakota temperature probe (part# A-156-8001), enabling automatic temperature compensation.
Capable of measuring fasteners ranging from 1/2 inch to an impressive 50 feet in length, the BTL1-DL displays readings in multiple units, including Time, Elongation, Load, Stress, and Strain, offering comprehensive insights into fastener behavior. Its high resolution of +/- 0.00001 inches ensures precise measurements for even the most critical applications.
The BTL1-DL boasts a selectable 200-volt square wave pulser with adjustable pulse width and a wide 110 dB gain range, optimizing performance with various transducers. Its robust data logging capabilities allow for the storage of both waveform views and measurement data for thorough analysis. The included PC Utility Software (downloadable online) facilitates seamless data transfer, in-depth analysis, and professional report generation.
Designed for ease of use, the BTL1-DL features a clear display with multiple viewing options and user-configurable Hi/Lo alarm limits for effective tolerance control. Automatic calibration for system zero further simplifies operation.
