Expert Insights on Precision Bolting Equipment & Industrial Solutions

Hot Tapping or pressure tapping, is a method for connecting a branch to a “hot” or operational line. By drilling or cutting, the hot tapping procedure enables a connection into a pressurized in-service operating system. In the hot tap procedure, a branch connection and valve are attached to the exterior of an operational pipeline. The […]

Industries where Predictive Maintenance is required  Why is Predictive Maintenance so Important in the Oil and Gas Industry An average oil and gas company experiences at least 27 days of unplanned downtime each year, costing $38 million. Even if the downtime lasts only 3.65 days, the resulting losses could be as much as $5 million. […]

Pipelines in the various sectors that use process equipment require timely maintenance, repair, refurbishment, and even the necessary modification; that companies might require to increase plant productivity in complex exercises that are a masterpiece conglomeration of fluid dynamics, design engineering, logistics, personnel management and use of innovative equipment. These exercises are called shutdowns, and they […]

When a certain section of pipe is damaged or rusted or requires modifications such as addition or removal of a valve, and the output of the particular pipeline or plant cannot be halted, then the particular pipeline must have a conduit attached to it for temporary or permanent purposes. This process shall go one step […]

What is a Hydraulic Bolt Tensioner? A Hydraulic Bolt Tensioner is a Power Tool that is used to stretch a bolt or stud in order to allow for the tightening of the nut against the flange or joint on which it is placed. This tool must apply a controlled amount of tensioning force on the […]

What is a Hydraulic Torque Wrench?: A Hydraulic Torque Wrench is a power tool that is used to torque or de-torque (simply tighten or loosen) bolts and studs. This tool applies a controlled amount of torque to the fastener to ensure proper tightening without damaging the fastener or equipment.                            Each is progressively more powerful […]

Hydraulic torque wrenches are powerful tools that are commonly used in industrial and manufacturing settings to tighten and loosen bolts and nuts. However, like any tool, they can encounter problems that can affect their performance and reliability. Here are some common problems and solutions for hydraulic torque wrenches. Leaks can occur in the hydraulic system […]

Pipelines are a conveyance medium for various fluids that are necessary to keep civilization functional. To keep these critical pieces of infrastructure functional, several tools, accessories, and machinery are needed to keep up with the requirements of their maintenance, repair, and overhaul cycles.  Productivity is critical for maintaining profitability for the large economies of scale […]

Heat Exchanger / Condenser / Boiler Tube Maintenance, Repair & Overhaul Generating power to keep the lights on in the modern world requires power plants that can utilize various resources to generate heat and produce electricity. This application would be one amongst many applications where planners use heat exchangers, condensers, boilers, and other process equipment […]

Introduction: To understand this blog better, have a look at our earlier introductory blog on this topic… As seen in our earlier article the hot tapping process involves the installation of a valve onto the existing pipeline while it is in operation. Hot tapping, also known as pressure tapping, is a technique used to connect […]

Introduction: Implements used to tighten or loosen fasteners have changed over time, but as the production of steel became more reliable and consistent grade/quality of steel became possible, fastener manufacturing became rapidly standardized along with a litany of tools and implements to fasten them. What screwdrivers were to screws and riveting hammers were to rivets, […]

Since antiquity, Humans have used fasteners to hold components and objects together. They have evolved according to need and time. The modern bolt is a highly standardized and widely accepted engineering implement. These bolts must sustain several stresses and strains as mechanical members & as a part of structures and machines. They offer excellent advantages, […]
