On a turn-of-nut high-strength splice, which common lapse undermines rated capacity?
Choices
- (A) Snugging small bolt groups systematically per diagram
- (B) Skipping systematic snug-tight cycling before measuring the final rotation increment when spec demands it
- (C) Training crews with calibrated wrenches
- (D) Keeping daily snug inspection notes
Correct answer: (B)
Skipping systematic snug-tight cycling before measuring the final rotation increment when spec demands it
