Squirter® DTI Calibration

In this hands-on clinic, Applied Bolting Technology™ walks through the Squirter® DTI calibration exercise, a critical step before installation to ensure bolts are properly tensioned and inspection-ready. You’ll see a step-by-step demonstration using a 7/8" A325 bolt in a Skidmore-Wilhelm tester, showing how Squirter® DTIs provide Visual Verification of Bolt Tension™ through the volume of expelled DuraSquirt® Formula. The exercise explains why calibration matters, how installers learn to visually recognize correct tension, and how inspectors verify installation using a feeler gauge—without relying on torque assumptions. This video covers: - Why Squirter® DTIs must be calibrated before going to the steel - How visual DuraSquirt® Formula volume correlates to proper bolt tension - What inspectors look for during post-installation verification - How Squirter® DTIs help crews exceed minimum tension requirements with confidence Whether you’re an ironworker, inspector, engineer, or project manager, this clinic reinforces best practices for safe, fast, and verifiable structural bolting using Squirter® DTIs.
