Abstract
A threaded fastener joint is proofed by a wrenching washer between the fasteners of the joint and the work. The wrenching washer has the clamp-up load applied by the fasteners to the work applied through it. After an attempt to make the joint, the wrenching washer is torqued to determine whether it turns on the work at an applied torque below some predetermined proofing torque. If it does not, the joint is satisfactory; if it does, the joint is unsatisfactory.
