Abstract
The present invention may be used for measuring the tension in an elongated rod like body that may be fastened at an anchor end to an anchor element and that may be disposed at an accessible end relative to a securing element. A representative bolt may be secured at a first end to an accessible end of the rod like body. A housing may be positioned over the representative bolt to abut the securing element at an open first end and to allow the representative bolt to extend outwardly through a hole in a walled second end. A nut may be threaded on the representative bolt and tightened against the walled second end. A transducer may be attached to a second end of the representative bolt. The transducer may be activated to measure the length of the representative bolt. A data base of bolt length and bolt stress measurements may be used to correlate the stress level of the elongated rod like body.
