Bolt Tensioning Services

Patriot International provides precise bolt tensioning services to secure bolted connections, enhancing safety and performance in critical applications. Our specialised team utilises advanced hydraulic tensioning techniques to apply accurate preload in essential joints, ensuring reliable and consistent results.

What is Bolt Tensioning?

Bolt tensioning is a controlled process used to apply an exact preload to bolts, ensuring even force distribution across the joint. This technique is fundamental to maintaining the integrity of flanged connections, heat exchangers, and other critical components in high-stress industries, such as oil and gas, petrochemical, and power generation.

Advantages of Bolt Tensioning Services

Enhanced Joint Integrity

By achieving precise and uniform tension across bolted joints, bolt tensioning prevents issues like leaks and minimises the risk of joint failure, ensuring long-term reliability.

Improved Safety and Performance

Bolt tensioning adheres to the highest industry standards, reducing potential hazards associated with misaligned or improperly loaded joints, which is critical in environments with high operational demands.

Reduced Maintenance and Downtime

With uniform tension in place, bolted connections withstand operational stresses better, reducing the need for frequent maintenance and extending the lifespan of essential equipment.

Our Approach to Bolt Tensioning

Patriot International’s bolt tensioning services employ hydraulic tensioning methods for optimal accuracy and consistency. Our approach begins with a thorough assessment of each bolted joint, including load calculations and risk analysis. Using specialized hydraulic tensioning equipment, our technicians achieve precise preload specifications, guaranteeing that each bolt is accurately and uniformly tensioned.

Applications of Bolt Tensioning in Oil & Gas
