Abstract
In one form of the present invention, an apparatus for tightening a bolt stores information relating to an allowable relationship between change in bolt length and torque. A wrench applies a time changing torque to the bolt, the change in bolt length is measured by timing a traveling acoustic pulse in the bolt, and comparison means ascertains whether the torque-length behavior of the bolt exhibits the allowable relationship.
