Abstract

The present invention relates to a method of establishing a bolted joint, the method comprising the following steps: selecting a type of bolted joint; determining a target pre-tension level for the selected bolted joint, wherein the target pre-tension level is less than 10% lower than a maximum pre-tension level of the bolted joint, the maximum pre-tension level relating to a pre-tension level that must not be exceeded without compromising the bolted joint; installing the bolted joint, wherein an actual pre-tension level of the bolted joint is measured during the tightening process.
