ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for tightening a screw joint to a predetermined axial load F.sub.p providing the spring constant k=F/.phi. of the joint is known, wherein the joint stiffness or torque/rotation radient dM/d.phi. is calculated during the tightening process and the torque application on the joint is interrupted as a torque level M.sub.s is obtained that according to the spring constant or axial load/rotation relationship F/.phi. and the calculated joint stiffness dM/d.phi. corresponds to the predetermined axial load F.sub.p.
