Washer Calculator Tools

Solon Manufacturing Co. is pleased to offer a suite of calculator web tools designed to assist you with your application requirements. With the ability to choose English or metric bolts or studs and include inputs relative to bolt size and material, and environmental factors such as temperature, these tools will easily assist with the design of your bolting system. Calculated outputs include the most economical recommendation for a Solon Belleville Spring Washer along with stacking arrangements and quantities, bolt load and torque, and a helpful installation guide. The calculator tools also provide a direct link to the recommended washer product with the ability to quickly add the item to your quote cart for pricing and delivery from our sales team. Try our calculator tools for your electrical, flange or valve applications.

PV Racking Systems Calculator

Ensure the integrity of your solar photovoltaic (PV) racking systems by installing Solon Belleville Springs & Washers to the bolted electrical and ground connections that are subject to loosening and developing elevated resistance. Solon Manufacturing Co. has designed an interactive web tool to help select the proper washer products necessary to maintain the bolt preload on the connections. Fill out the form to access our washer selection tool for solar PV structural assemblies. 

     

LNG /Cryogenic Flange Calculator

Reduce process leaks and fugitive emissions in liquefied natural gas (LNG) and cryogenic applications were cold temperatures and corrosion are factors. Fill out the form to access the LNG / cryogenic flange calculator.

     
 
Infinite Bolt Fatigue Life Calculator

Increase the elasticity of the fastening system, improve cycle life of the bolt, and eliminate the risk of fatigue failure. Fill out the form to access the infinite bolt fatigue life calculator.

     
 
Bolt Stretch Calculator

Bolt stretch is an important factor in the retention of preload. As torque is applied to a bolt, the stress on the bolt increases. This stress results in bolt stretch that is proportional to stress and active bolt length (or grip length). Fill out the form to access the bolt stretch calculator.
