The tightening starts (t=0) when the tool trigger is pressed. During the first 0.2 seconds the thread is run down and then the first pulse occurs and the actual tightening is started.

  • Page 57: Viewing Results

    Tightening and monitoring Parameter Description Pulse filter Sometimes a pulse occurs during rundown that has nothing to do with the tightening. Examples of this are when locknuts are used or the thread is damaged. The pulse filter identifies such pulses and removes them from the calculations of torque, relative angle, number of pulses, tightening time, rundown time, pulse frequency and pulse pressure.
