Abstract: The invention relates to a threaded bolt provided with measurement planes for use in ultrasonic length measurement. After the threaded bolt has been fixed in a connection, such measurement is performed to determine the length change of the threaded bolt, in order to find out the tension within the threaded bolt in that way.

Abstract: A threaded bolt having a proximal head end and a distal insertion end, the proximal head end and the distal insertion end are each provided with a single, exposed radial measurement plane, the radial measurement plane at the distal insertion end is formed by a flat bottom of a recess at the distal insertion end, the recess is bounded by a circumferential wall which at a point of change transitions into the flank of the distal end via a buckle, and wherein the radial measurement planes are for use in ultrasonic length measurement for determining the tension in the threaded bolt after it has been used in a connection.

Abstract: Threaded bolt having a distal insertion end and a proximal head-end and a threaded shank extending In between, said shank having a longitudinal axis, wherein the distal insertion end comprises a first distal portion that comprises the outermost distal end of the distal insertion end, said outer-moat distal end being eccentrically located with respect to the central axis of the shank, the first distal portion defining a circumferentially continuous, smooth, non-threaded surface, in which a second distal portion, in proximal direction, connects to said first distal portion, said second distal portion defining a circumferentially continuous, smooth, non-threaded, right-circular cylindrical surface, which is located centrically with respect to the central axis of the shank, wherein the first distal portion has been provided with surfaces, the generatrix of which has a straight course and is inclined with respect to the longitudinal axis.
