A method and a device for checking a screwed connection and to special screws to implement the method. The method is based on the utilization of a special screw with a one-piece cored hole pressing together two components with a prestress force. The method includes determining the original length of the special screw by measuring the length of the cored hole; determining the length of the special screw when stressed by measuring the distance from the head of the screw to the bottom of the bore and comparing the measuring values of the lengths with predetermined data. According to predetermined criteria, it is determined whether sufficient prestress force has been applied or whether it is necessary to further tighten the screw. The device for checking the prestress force includes the special screw and a length measuring device determining the distance from the base surface of the cored hole to the screw head and the distance between the front face of the core of the cored hole to the screw head. |
