Exported Information and File Format

PFExport_<tool name>_<timestamp>_Events.csv

A comma-separated file containing the following information:

• Severity: type of event

• Date and time: a timestamp of when the event occurred

• Code: the event ID

• Description: a short description of the event

• Virtual station: virtual station ID

PFExport_<tool name>_<timestamp>_Results.csv

A comma-separated file containing the following information:

• Tower Data: flange identity in batch assembly or batch service job.

• Program ID

• Bolt size

• Date and time: a timestamp of when the result occurred

• Operator ID

• Operator Data

• Operator Company

• Software version: the software version on the controller running when the bolts are tensioned.

• Tensioner Custom Identifier: optional, set by the customer and stored in the tensioner.

• Pump Custom identifier: optional, set by the customer and stored in the pump.

• Tensioner type: fetched from production data in the tensioner.

• Bolt Quantity: the number of bolts on the flange, entered by the operator when starting a batch job.

• Bolt Data

• Nut loosening min loosening angle: Multistep step configuration of type step tensioning service parameter. Only populated when the result relates to a bolt service operation.

• Estimated initial mean settlement (kN): term for clamping force estimation.

• Estimated initial max settlement (kN): only written to report directly from configuration.

• Min required average clamping force (kN): term for evaluation of the average clamping force for the full flange result.

• Clamping Force Method Used:

  Estimation: residual force is estimated using Estimated initial mean settlement.

  Calculation: residual force is calculated using Clamping length and the Load transfer factor equation.

• Bolt number

• Status: end result of the tensioning, status OK or NOK.

• Tensioning Attempt Number: the attempt number increments when a bolt fails and is re-tensioned.

• Assembling Position: same as bolt number.

• Pressure (bar, Pa): the pressure when the nut was tightened, that is, when the conditions for acknowledged torque are met.

• Force (kN, N): the force when the nut was tightened, that is, when the conditions for acknowledged torque are met.

• Angle (deg): the resulting angle of the tightening of the nut.

• Torque (Nm): the torque applied when the conditions for torque are met.

• Residual Force (kN): estimation of residual force calculated as Applied Pressure − Estimated mean settlement.

• Min Residual Force (kN): the minimum residual force of the bolt based on configuration field Estimated initial max settlement.

• Re-tighten Angle (deg): during bolt service, the total angle the nut rotated from its original position.

• Loosening Angle (deg): during bolt service, the angle the nut is loosened.

• Loosening Torque (Nm): the applied torque when the first nut loosening movement was recorded.

• Loosening Pressure (bar, Pa): the hydraulic pressure when the first nut loosening movement was recorded.

• Loosening Force (kN, N): the force that corresponds to the loosening pressure.

• Backlash Angle (deg): the mechanical play in the tensioner mechanics and socket–nut alignment between nut loosening and nut tightening.

• Pump Serial Number

• Pump Ordering Number

• Tensioner Serial Number

• Tensioner Ordering Number
