Calculating Bolt Load Just Became Easier with New Smartphone Application

Let’s face it, up until now bolt load calculation apps for Apple and Android smartphones have left a lot to be desired. The apps either cost money or were limited and not very functional, but FASTORQ is changing all that with an exciting, free app called BoltCALC+.

BoltCALC+ is an easy-to-use and powerful tool designed to calculate bolt load, gasket stress and torque and tension in bolted joints. Just by selecting your bolted joint specifications and known parameter, you get accurate calculations with minimal effort in an attractive and organized format.

Created with the field engineer or designer in mind, BoltCALC+ is simple enough for anyone responsible for bolted joint integrity to use. It even converts between English and metric units for those especially challenging calculations.

Stored in BoltCALC+’s memory is information for the following standards:

• ANSI and API flange standards
• ASTM, SAE and metric bolt standards
• Spiral wound, ring joint and flat gasket standards
• Empirical data for bolted joint “K” factors with various fastener materials, lubricants and coatings.

In addition to the set standards, BoltCALC+ contains a user-defined option that makes it an even more powerful and versatile tool for use in industries where fastener integrity is a concern.

BoltCALC+’s iTunes app is compatible with the iPhone (3GS to 5 models), iPod Touch (3^rd to 5^th generation) and the iPad. It is optimized for iPhone 5 and requires iOS 5.1 or later version to operate.

An Android version of BoltCALC is arriving soon to the Google Play Store. Watch for announcements on FASTORQ’s website, Facebook and LinkedIn pages for more details.

With a wealth of bolting information available for free at your fingertips, it’s time to stop guessing at bolt load or trying to make poor bolt load calculation apps work for you. Harness the power of FASTORQ’s engineering software and download BoltCALC+ app today.
