Load detection washer saves mines money

AUSTRALIAN company Visy Load has launched a new load sensing washer that it says will be a game-changing, money-saving device for mines, the construction sector and other industries. Managing director Phil Hempenstall said the Visyload washer lets people know, at a glance, the working load limit on a rock bolt or threaded anchor, and hence whether it is safe to suspend a certain load from a rock bolt or threaded anchor. He said load sensing washers are not new but his firm has spent five years developing a far more effective product, not seen before in the marketplace. The Visyload washer has tabs that curl down when they deploy. This indicates the applied tension or torque. There are different models...
