Bolt tensioners are devices designed to apply a specific tension to a bolt. The device may be either removed once the actual nut is threaded into place, or left in place, in the case of a hydraulic nut.
The metric system does away with all of the different units of volume used in the English system, and instead, uses only one unit to measure volume. That unit is called the liter. Materials Needed: Meter stick or metric ruler; stiff cardboard such as poster board; scissors or hobby knife; tape.
In this lab, a beaker, two graduated cylinders and a burette will be used to measure liquid volumes, and their precision will be compared. Note that when measuring liquid volumes, it is important to read the graduated scale from the lowest point of the curved surface of the liquid, known as the liquid meniscus.
