Applications

Our system is primarily one of prevention; the applications below are only a few examples of our experience.

Mills

The structural joints on Ball, Rod & SAG Mills are highly critical. There are several known cases where torque alone has been relied on and the consequences have been dire. Joint separation occurs causing leakage and major repairs. The downtime costs are often stated in the region of $1Million per hour.

Heat Exchangers & Pressure Vessels

ASME VIII & AS 1210 allow Engineers to design flanges specific to the application. In order to be competitive this often results in small as possible flanges. This in turn gives an un-reliable bolted joint. By controlling the bolt loads very accurately we prevent leaks and ensure integrity.

Slew Ring Bearings

Found on Cranes, Turrets and FPSOs these items have a history of bolt breakage and early bearing failure. By ensuring correct original pre-load, and adopting a regular re-measure regime, clients can get the maximum life between major re-fits.

Valves

Valves by their very nature often see high levels of thermal and pressure cyclic loading. In many cases this is coupled with stud-bolts screwed into tapped holes. Due to the lower than normal clamp length joint reliability is greatly reduced. By ensuring correct original pre-load we prevent joint failure.

Turbines

Due to creep strain relaxation half Joints & valves mostly have a requirement for bolt elongation to be highly controlled. Traditional Extensometer measurement methods are inaccurate and un-reliable; we replace that with a guaranteed accuracy of results (NATA Traceable) and electronic data management.

In addition to these we have also used this technology on High Performance Engines, Rotating Equipment Couplings, Furnaces, Structural Steelwork, Manifolds & many more.
