Knowledge
Shortlist by target torque. Confirm space, reaction arrangement and tool approval with WSD.
Torque tables ↗
Torque is a specification of the joint, not of thread diameter alone. Strength class, friction and joint design affect the tightening requirement. Start tool selection with the approved target torque.
02 / WSDUnderstanding calibration ↗
Calibration compares a tool setting or reading with a traceable reference under defined conditions. The record should identify the tool, direction, test points and results.
03 / WSDUnderstanding standards ↗
Standards may concern the tool, measurement, system capability or the complete assembly process. A list of standard numbers does not demonstrate suitability for an application.
04 / WSDReaction & support ↗
The tool torque requires a suitable reaction arrangement. Match the reaction arm to the tool configuration, joint geometry and a sufficiently strong contact point.
05 / WSDTorque & angle ↗
Torque-controlled tightening uses torque as the controlling shut-off quantity. Torque/angle tightening adds a defined angular stage or monitoring after a specified initial stage. The joint instruction determines the strategy.
06 / WSDBolting documentation ↗
Bolting documentation should associate a result with the correct component and fastener location. Required data follow from your process, risk assessment and contractual or sector requirements.
07 / WSDSelection & access ↗
Start with the approved torque, not the largest tool. The confirmed working range and tightening strategy must fit the joint and accessories.

Volta: bolting documentation and angle functions announced
WSD announces additional Volta functions for bolting documentation and angle. Availability, supported models, measuring methods, exports and retrofits remain to be confirmed. This announcement does not establish compliance with a standard or approval for a bolting category.
