Direct Tension Indicators Overview by nrnak is a document available to read on EtoBox.

Direct Tension Indicators (DTIs) provide a means to accurately measure bolt tension or clamping force. DTIs are hardened washers that compress under tension, leaving a gap that can be measured with feeler gauges. This provides a direct measurement of clamping force rather than just relying on torque measurements, which can vary. DTIs ensure bolted joints meet specification, prevent leaks, and provide easy, visual inspection of proper bolt tensioning.
