Abstract: A mouthpiece for a setting device setting a blind rivet element is disclosed which comprises a hollow, which may be a hollow-cylindrical, body having an abutting end and a central through bore through which a pulling mandrel of the setting device is movable. Further, a first endless sealing is arranged adjacent to the central through bore at the abutting end for abutting at a head portion of the blind rivet element. Additionally, a second endless sealing is arranged radially outwardly of the first endless sealing at the abutting end for abutting at a component. Finally, a fluid channel extends at least partly through the hollow, which may be a hollow-cylindrical, body such that an exit opening is provided between the first and the second endless sealing and an entry opening for supplying a testing fluid is provided, which may be remote to the abutting end.

Abstract: A Device for measuring a force applied by a fitting apparatus provided with a threaded rod having an external or internal thread, includes a hydraulic chamber containing a fluid; a piston configured to slide inside the hydraulic chamber; a threaded connector fixed to the piston, the threaded connector having a thread configured in such a way that the threaded rod screws onto the threaded connector, so that the threaded rod can impose an axial force on the piston resulting in travel of the piston in the hydraulic chamber; and a pressure gauge communicating with the hydraulic chamber, configured to measure a pressure inside the hydraulic chamber created by the axial force applied on the piston by the threaded rod.
