Abstract (en)

[origin: EP1447157A1] Method has the following steps: drawing out of the blind fastener until a force of a predetermined value is applied, starting of measurement and triggering of an impulse counter; measurement of the tensile force on the rivet drawing its drawing out until a maximum force or a breaking force is reached in conjunction with timer impulse measurements; conversion of the calculated measurement value to a computer processable signal; storage of the signal; comparison of generated signals with those of a reference setting process and; output and or storage of the comparison result.
