Description

PFExport__<Tool name>_<Time stamp>_Events.csv

A semicolon-separated file containing the following information:

  • Severity: Type of event

  • Date and time: A time stamp of when the event occurred

  • Code: The event ID

  • Description: A short description of the event

  • Virtual station: Virtual station ID

PFExport__<Tool name>_<Time stamp>_Results.csv

A semicolon-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 time stamp 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 operater when starting a batch job.

  • Bolt Data

  • Nut loosening min loosening angle: multistage step configuration of type step tensioning service parameter. Only populated when the results 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 incrementing when a bolt fails and is re-tensioned.

  • Assembling Position: Same as bolt number.

  • Pressure (bar): The pressure when the nut was tightened, i.e. when the conditions for acknowledged torque are met.

  • Force (kN): The force when the nut was tightened, i.e. when the conditions for acknowledged torque are met.

  • Angle: The resulting angle of the tightening of the nut.

  • Torque: 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): The hydraulic pressure when the first nut loosening movement was recorded.

  • Loosening Force (kN): 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
