A quality twist on torque testing

Article Abstract:

The clamping load required for maintaining joint integrity is the most critical factor in the selection of nuts and bolts. In determining clamping force, the torque should be carefully monitored to see if any of the factors affecting the fastened joint are not within the specified standard. There are two basic torque monitoring techniques: dynamic and static torque auditing. A brief overview of these two methods is presented.

Auto industry quality - what are they doing?

Article Abstract:

Representatives of the three major US car makers at the 'Quality Concepts '92' meeting said that their companies are prepared to face the challenge posed by foreign competition. 'A change of paradigm' is needed because the automobile industry has been manufacturing cars to make a profit. This outlook has resulted in cars that consumers do not want and with less value for their money than foreign cars.
