More commonly, they occur due to unclear requirements, inconsistent methods, or misunderstood standards. Thankfully, training that reflects real job site conditions can eliminate those risks.

[Why Education Is Central to the Mission](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/why-you-can-trust-applied-bolting-technology-for-bolting-education#why-education-is-centrail-to-the-mission)  Real-World Experience, Not Classroom Theory Training at Applied Bolting Technology® is delivered by the same specialists who spend their days on active job sites. These instructors aren’t detached educators, they’re problem-solvers who regularly troubleshoot bolting issues under real schedule and safety pressures. Sessions focus on actual field bolting, not theories in a manual. This approach helps crews immediately apply what they learn. Built Around Current Industry Standards All training content is developed directly from AISC and RCSC specifications, and every session is reviewed for technical accuracy by an application engineer. Just as important, those standards are translated into plain language. Attendees learn what the requirements mean for installation, inspection, and verification, not just how to cite them. Designed for Every Experience Level Training sessions are structured to support: - New installers learning bolting fundamentals - Experienced ironworkers refining consistency - Engineers and inspectors who are responsible for compliance Clear visuals, step-by-step demonstrations, and live Q&A ensure no one is left behind. Participants can ask practical questions tied to their specific projects. The “Aha” Moments That Change How Crews Work Two realizations consistently stand out for attendees: - Bolt tension—not torque—is what matters most for structural integrity - Visual Verification of Bolt Tension® removes uncertainty from tightening and inspection Many participants comment that they’ve used torque-based methods for years without realizing the variability they introduce. Training That Prevents Costly Mistakes One field crew was preparing to rework hundreds of bolts they believed were under-tensioned. During an on-site training session, Applied Bolting Technology® specialists walked them through proper Squirter® DTI interpretation and gap reduction. The bolts were already correctly tensioned. The crew avoided a full day of unnecessary labor and crane time. The superintendent later said the training “saved the job that week.” You can read more testimonials about Applied Bolting Technology® [here](https://appliedbolting.com/squirter-dtis/).  Topics That Matter Most on the Job Site Common questions addressed during webinars and field sessions include: - Proper installation and inspection of Squirter® DTIs - When and how to perform pre-installation verification (PIV) - Correct washer placement and bolt orientation - Why do torque values vary so widely between bolts - How to correctly store bolts and why that's important Time is intentionally reserved for these discussions because they directly affect productivity and inspection outcomes. [Sign up for a webinar](https://appliedbolting-8020600.hs-sites.com/webinar-registration-page) to get the answers!  Field Support That Goes Beyond the Webinar Training doesn’t stop at presentations. The Applied Bolting Technology® team visits job sites weekly, and sometimes daily during peak seasons. Support often includes: - Reviewing bolt storage and handling practices - Identifying lubrication or contamination issues - Aligning installation methods with inspection requirements This hands-on involvement builds trust because crews see solutions working in real time.

Why Education Is Central to the Mission Even the best bolting products depend on proper installation. Education ensures structures are safer, inspections are smoother, and rework is minimized. By offering complimentary and PDH-certified webinars, Applied Bolting Technology® helps engineers and field crews stay current with evolving ASTM, AISC, and RCSC standards—without creating barriers to access. Applied Bolting Technology® also offers Lunch & Learn sessions that tailor the same practical, standards-based education specifically to your company. You can sign up [here](https://appliedbolting.com/lunch-and-learn/). The goal of all these training sessions is simple: empower people to do the job right the first time, with confidence. --- #### Tag: [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting) [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) #### Share: - [Follow us on Facebook](http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/why-you-can-trust-applied-bolting-technology-for-bolting-education) - [Follow us on Twitter](https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/why-you-can-trust-applied-bolting-technology-for-bolting-education&text=Why%20You%20Can%20Trust%20Applied%20Bolting%20Technology®%20for%20Bolting%20Education) - [Follow us on Linkedin](http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/why-you-can-trust-applied-bolting-technology-for-bolting-education) - [Follow us on Pinterest](http://pinterest.com/pin/create/button/?url=https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/why-you-can-trust-applied-bolting-technology-for-bolting-education&text=Why%20You%20Can%20Trust%20Applied%20Bolting%20Technology®%20for%20Bolting%20Educationdescription=Structural%20bolting%20failures%20rarely%20come%20from%20bad%20intent.%20More%20commonly,%20they%20occur%20due%20to%20unclear%20requirements,%20inconsistent%20methods,%20or%20misunderstood[...]&media=https://8020600.fs1.hubspotusercontent-na1.net/hubfs/8020600/Untitled%20design%20%2811%29-Jan-28-2026-08-43-48-2877-PM.png) --- ###### [The Science of Bolt Tension You Can See: How Squirter® DTIs Are Made Previous Post](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/the-science-of-bolt-tension-you-can-see-how-squirter-dtis-are-made) This is a search field with an auto-suggest feature attached. - There are no suggestions because the search field is empty. ### Category - [Squirter® DTIs (20)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) - [Bolting (11)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting) - [Tension (7)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension) - [Torque (5)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/torque) - [Case Study (4)](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/case-study) ### Popular Posts [chris curven](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/chrisc) 03/17/2021 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Torque](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/torque), [Tension](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis), [Structural Steel](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/structural-steel), [Case Study](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/case-study), [Safety](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/safety) [Cold Weather: Our Squirter® DTIs With DuraSquirt® Formula Still Work!](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/2021/03/17/cold-weather-our-squirter-and-durasquirt-dtis-work) [Clara Moses](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/clara-moses) 09/30/2025 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [Made in America: How Squirter® DTIs Deliver Quality and Reliability](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/made-in-america) [Rob Westover](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/robw) 08/17/2021 [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [Hot Bolting - Single Stud Replacement](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/2021/08/17/hot-bolting-single-stud-replacement) [Clara Moses](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/author/clara-moses) 12/14/2025 [Bolting](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/bolting), [Tension](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/tension), [Squirter® DTIs](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/tag/squirter-dtis) [The Science of Bolt Tension You Can See: How Squirter® DTIs Are Made](https://blog.appliedbolting.com/applied-bolting-blog/the-science-of-bolt-tension-you-can-see-how-squirter-dtis-are-made) --- ## Related Posts It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout.
