A. Calibration Wrench: PRETENSIONING PROCEDURE VERIFICATION TESTING per Specification for Structural Joints Using
ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 8.2 & & 9.2.1 (PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1)

A calibrated tension calibrator shall be onsite when tightening is to be

performed on pretensioned joints and slip-critical joints. 12-SAMSS-008,
A1
(PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Specification for Structural Joints Sec. I
Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 3.2.1)

Prior to application, the bolted joint assembly was brought to snug tight
condition.
(NOTE: The connected plies are in firm contact after using a few impacts 12-SAMSS-008,
A2
of an impact wrench or the full effort of an ironworker using an ordinary Sec. I
spud wrench.) {PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Joints Using ASTM
A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 8.2.1}

A representative sample of three complete fastener assemblies of each

combination of diameter, length, grade and lot to be used in the work shall
12-SAMSS-008,
A3 be checked at the site of installation in a tension calibrator. (PIP
Sec. I
STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Specification for Structural Joints Using
ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 3.2.1)

An ASTM F436 washer shall be used under the turned element. (PIP
12-SAMSS-008,
A4 STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Specification for Structural Joints Using
Sec. I
ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 6.2.2)

The pre-installation verification procedure testing is performed using

fastener assemblies that are representative of the condition of those that
12-SAMSS-008,
A5 will be pretensioned in the work. (PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC
Sec. I
Specification for Structural Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para.
8.2)

The test has verified that the pretensioning method developed a

pretension that is equal to or greater than 1.05 times that specified for
12-SAMSS-008,
A6 installation and inspection in Table 8.1 in Attachment 1 of this checklist.
Sec. I
(PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Specification for Structural Joints
Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 7.2)

If the actual pretension developed in any of the fastener assemblies

is less than 1.05 times that specified for installation and inspection
in Table 8.1 in Attachment 1 of this checklist, the cause(s) shall be 12-SAMSS-008,
A7
determined and resolved before the fastener assemblies are used in Sec. I
the work. (PIP STS05130, Para. 6.5.1 & AISC Specification for Structural
Joints Using ASTM A325 or A490 Bolts, Para. 7.2)
