Apparatus for a burst-through torque indicator

A nut configured to couple to a bolt, the nut comprising:

• a main body defining an axially aligned bore having threads disposed on an interior wall thereof;
• and
• a dome-shaped head disposed at an outermost end thereof and having an axially aligned aperture with an aperture diameter,
• wherein the dome-shaped head is provided to be deformed by threads disposed on the bolt when a predetermined torque is applied thereto.

A nut configured to couple to a bolt, the nut comprising:

• a main body defining an axially aligned bore and including six equidistantly spaced walls, a first end, a second end, and threads disposed on an interior wall of the axially aligned bore;
• a dome-shaped head disposed at an outermost end thereof and having an axially aligned aperture that has an aperture diameter that is smaller than a bore diameter of the axially aligned bore, the dome-shaped head further defining a cavity that adjoins the axially aligned bore and the axially aligned aperture and has a greatest diameter that is greater than the bore diameter, wherein the cavity has a volume that is less than a volume defined by a threaded portion of the bore;
• and
• a flange disposed at the first end and extending radially outward therefrom, wherein the main body and the flange are integrally formed,
• wherein the dome-shaped head is provided to be deformed by threads disposed on the bolt when a predetermined burst-through torque is applied thereto, and wherein the aperture diameter of the axially aligned aperture relates to the predetermined burst-through torque.
