Applied Bolting Technology™ Reinforces Commitment to Job Site Safety

In an industry where precision and safety are non-negotiable, Applied Bolting Technology™ continues to set the standard with its Squirter® DTIs (Direct Tension Indicators). As more products enter the market, the company is doubling down on what matters most: real-world safety, proven performance, and unmistakable Visual Verification of Bolt Tension™.

With a burst of signature Safety Orange silicone, Squirter® DTIs provide a clear, immediate indicator that a bolt has reached the correct preload. There’s no guesswork, torque-based assumptions, or need for feeler gages. Just fast, reliable, inspection-ready tensioning you can trust.

“Orange doesn’t just stand out—it stands for something. It stands for job site safety, speed, and the confidence that your bolts are properly tensioned the first time,” said Chris Curven, VP/Field Bolting Specialist at Applied Bolting Technology™.

Trusted on worldwide infrastructure projects, Squirter® DTIs are job site-tough and fully compliant with rigorous industry standards, including ASTM, AISC, RCSC, and the United States Fastener Quality Act of 1999. Made in America from domestic steel, they’re engineered to deliver dependable results—even in harsh conditions and challenging applications.

“Our DTIs don’t just meet the standard,” added Rob Westover, VP of Sales & Technical Services. “They are the standard.”

Applied Bolting Technology™ is committed to clarity, not complexity. As the bolting industry evolves and others introduce new materials or untested systems, Applied Bolting Technology™ continues to focus on what works: helping crews bolt faster, inspectors verify instantly, and teams build with total confidence.
