THE DISTRIBUTOR’S LINK 159 MORE SPECIAL SQUIRTERS FOR SPECIAL PROJECTS continued from page 36 While this is a relatively new market for us, and I’m sure we will continue to improve the Squirters, feedback from the field has been very positive. DTIS Technology All of our special products incorporate new technology developed by Applied Bolting Technology. DTIS stands for “Drive it Till It Squirts”. While “Drive it Till It Squirts” has been our job site tag line for quite some time, we are now taking it literally. We are refining our products to perform to a new standard where: 1. the initial squirt doesn’t appear until the bolt is near the minimum tension, and 2. the fully developed squirt appears when the bolt tension is comfortably above the minimum bolt tension. The figure shows how this works with the typical mining roof bolt Squirter. The minimum bolt tension specified by the customer is identified as 100% of minimum in the figure. The first squirt appears as the bolt approaches this minimum load. When the squirt is fully developed all the way around, the load is around 10% above the minimum tension. With this feature, the Typical Mining Roof Bolt Squirter Performance Employing “DTIS” Technologu engineers, installers and inspectors can rest assured that the bolts are installed properly, particularly when it isn’t possible to inspect using a feeler gage. So, if you want the quality assurance of Squirters in your special project, give us a call. We love solving problems. We are also very serious about continuous improvement. DTIS technology is just one example of how we are improving our product. It has been so well received that we are phasing it into all of our products.
