Bolted assemblies are the most commonly used joints in mechanics, and bolt joint requires preloading to perform its function successfully. Preloading is usually generated immediately after tightening the bolt by conventional torque wrench method. Other than torque wrench method a new method of bolt tightening has been used in industry recently. In this study, an experimental investigation on two types of tightening methods (conventional torque wrench and hydraulic tension) is done. Bolt's behavior during tightening, and advantages-disadvantages of both tightening methods are investigated. The paper comprises two tightening varieties of experiment; static bolt behavior and dynamic bolt behavior in a bolted joint.
