A bolt providing an indication of pre-load and continuous load thereafter wherein the bolt head has recesses on both sides thereof leaving a central ring which functions as a diaphragm spring and deflects along the bolt axis as a function of load. An indicator pin is mounted in or forms part of the ring so as to deflect with the ring, moving through a passage in an indicator washer or ring which closes the top recess and which permits a ready determination, by comparison of the relative positions of pin and indicator ring, of bolt pre-load. A further embodiment of the pre-load indicating device eliminates the indicator pin and replaces the indicator washer with a transverse buckled column, which indicates load along the bolt axis by the deflected location of the buckled column.
