Measuring torque when installing threaded fasteners is the best indicator of future joint performance, right?Actually, bolt tension is a better performance indi- cator, but measuring torque is far easier to do. Bolt tension is created when a bolt elon- gates during tightening, producing the clamp load that prevents movement be- tween joint members.Such movement is
