In order to securely fasten the bolt, the axial force (tensile force in the axial direction) of the bolt is an important factor. As a method of applying a required axial force to a bolt, conventionally, there is a method of managing the axial force of the bolt with a fastening torque. However, in the case of this method, the fastening torque varies due to the difference in the dimensional accuracy of the bolts and nuts or the members to be fastened, so that the required axial force may not be applied.

There is also a method in which a mark is provided in the longitudinal direction of the bolt and the amount of elongation of the bolt before and after tightening is measured.
Since this is a disassembly method, it cannot be easily implemented in a mass-production assembly process. Further, there is a method of measuring the elongation of the bolt by ultrasonic waves, but there is a problem that the bolt itself becomes expensive because a surface whose end face is precisely polished is required.
