We describe our efforts in the development of an improved ultrasonic bolt tension analyzer (bolt gage) for use in precision tensioning of bolts in critical applications. This new instrument uses correlation techniques to ameliorate the peak jumping problems usually associated with ultrasonic bolt gages. Our instrument has been put through substantial (though not exhaustive) tests, with very good results
