ELEMENT 3.1 - INTRODUCTION TO BOLT TORQUING IN THE WIND INDUSTRY USING POWERED TOOLS AND ACCESSORIES
Learning objectives:
30) The participants can explain the similarities and differences between electric and hydraulic torquing tools and how they relate to different bolt torquing tasks (Knowledge, intermediate level)
31) The participants can explain when, how and why lubrication is used for bolt torquing (Knowledge, intermediate level)
32) The participants can explain how bolt torquing is conducted using powered equipment (Knowledge, intermediate level)
33) The participants can discuss why it is important to correctly adhere to procedures and administrative tasks in relation to completing bolt torquing tasks (Knowledge, intermediate level)
34) The participants can discuss the consequences of incorrect bolt torquing and parameters that influence bolt torquing (Knowledge, intermediate level)
35) The participants can recognise the scope and requirements of the bolt torquing scenario (Knowledge, basic level)
36) The participants can explain the importance of protecting the surface finish, and for ensuring that threads are free from corrosion or particle contamination (e.g. dirt or paint debris from insertion) (Knowledge, intermediate level)
37) The participants can explain the importance of using impact sockets (Knowledge, intermediate level)
The instructor shall:
Explain and ask reflective questions about how bolt torquing is performed in the wind industry using powered equipment
Explain and ask reflective questions about the importance of lubrication for bolt torquing, e.g. by showing a video of different bolt preload with and without lubrication and providing examples of bolts
Explain and ask reflective questions about the loosening of bolts that have not been lubricated or installed incorrectly
Present and explain the similarities and differences between electric and hydraulic torquing tools, how they work and how they relate to different torquing tasks, including:
a.
torque head sockets
