Title: Bolting applications

Technical Report ·
DOI:https://doi.org/10.2172/6816983· OSTI ID:6816983

An investigation of bolting practices specific to the nuclear industry was performed. The report covered a large spectrum of topics e.g. bolts embedded in concrete, specifications, inspection of bolting, both at receipt and inservice. Plots of preload versus yield strength for different bolting materials in different environments are presented as well as information relative to the stress corrosion cracking resistance of the more recent reactor internals bolting materials A286 and Inconel X-750. Part of the report contains input by Standard Pressed Steel Inc. (a bolting consultant) relative to bolting standards, cottering methods and potential areas for bolting improvement.
