A method and apparatus for controlling final tension on a fastener being run up and set. An efficiency factor is developed and utilized for attaining predetermined final tension on a fastener, or a group of similar fasteners, being operated upon. The efficiency factor is a ratio between work on a theoretical fastener, i.e., one wherein friction load is absent in work calculations, and work on an actual fastener. Having obtained the efficiency factor, the actual torque load on a fastener to attain predetermined tension value, can be established by use of the efficiency factor. |
