The Δσ pulse-echo ultrasonic time-of-flight measurement device; measures, displays, stores and transfers bolt load data. The Delta Sigma uses a sealed colour touch screen for all operator I/O. All data is entered and presented on a 4.3” colour, resistive touch screen. Data and digital signal traces are stored for later display and transfer.
This information is stored in the Bolt Type File. A bolt type must be named and entered for bolts with different geometries, grip lengths and/or loading requirements. Page: 5 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

To shut off the instrument, press the POWER OFF button, and then press YES in order to power down the instrument. All data is automatically stored, so there is no risk of loosing data by powering down the instrument. Page: 6 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
2.3 SETUP SCREEN On your first screen you have an option to press SETUP in order to configure the Delta Sigma. You can backup your files. By entering this option you can select what • FILE BACKUP: projects you need to backup to drive B If you need to delete all stored data, Choose the the data you want to delete.
NEW button. You will then enter the Project Data Screen as shown on the next page. Page: 8 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

DAC 0% & DAC 100%: The DS will output a 0-10V DC analog signal from the I/O port. The value you enter for 100%, for example 0,1mm, means you will have 10V analogue output at 0,1mm elongationPress NEXT. Page: 10 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

Now, the project is named, the bolt type has been assigned to the bolt, you are now ready to start measuring bolts. This is the main bolt reading entry screen. Press the MEASURE button to start. Page: 11 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
Standard Magnetic Transducer CONTINUE. Let the instrument work for a few seconds while it determines the best echo peak for this bolt. The LED-light will flash red/green while working. Page: 12 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

In most standard bolts, you may never experience these geometry-based issue, the first echo back in a fastener is the end of the bolt. Page: 15 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
Type: button, you can select or enter a new bolt type. From the Bolt Info screen push the MEASURE Button and read data on the new bolt. Repeat bolt data input process. Page: 16 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
You can generate files from all projects, but you must enter each project to do In the next screen you have the option to choose report type (short/medium/long), pending need for measurement data. Page: 17 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

It is not possible to export this excel data back to the DS. That is covered in next section. Also, in drive B are the system scope traces and the CSV/TSV formatted scope traces: Page: 19 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
The $TYP folder contains all the Bolt Type data. 12. Paste folders to the Back Up folder you have created on your PC 13. Unplug USB cable 14. Go back to MAIN and continue. Page: 20 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

4. Place a cover of plastic over the newly glued transducer, place a magnet or weight on top of it to let it harden. Leave for 5-10 minutes and remove plastic. 5. The bolt is now ready. Page: 26 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
The results of the load factor calculation is now displayed on the load factor entry row (make sure to store the value by completeing the bolt type entry sequence) Page: 27 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
The value of the Modulus of Elasticity (Young’s Modulus), of the bolt material should be provided by the manufacturer of the bolts being tested. A tabulation of E for common bolt materials is presented in Appendix A. Page: 29 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...

A number of theories have been proposed as to the stressed length within the head of the bolt and the within the nut. However, testing by use of the calibration function of the Delta Sigma reveals that no single theory is valid for all bolt configurations.
3x3mm Glue-on transducers – P/N 3000-01 The glue-on transducers comes in sheets of 100 transducers. They are simply glued-on the bolts and tested by using the 4000-TC or 4000-RH cable. Page: 31 / 32 Document No: DELTA SIGMA-USM Version 4 Revision 3.94.2...
