Trust in Patriot International’s expertise to secure your operations and maintain the highest standards of joint integrity and safety.
The two main methods used in controlled bolt tightening are torque tightening & hydraulic tensioning. It is a meticulously driven process to secure bolted joints with an exact and constant amount of force. This method ensures that the bolts are tightened to the correct specifications required. This reduces the risk of under tightening or over tightening.
By using calibrated tools and following stringent procedures, this ensures that every bolt connection is consistent. This is vital for maintaining the structural integrity of large assemblies.
Reduces the risk of mistakes by ensuring that every bolt is tightened to the correct tension. This reduces the risk of joint failure.
Adhering to stringent practices helps companies comply with industry standards and regulations such as EN1591. This is essential for maintaining safety and operational integrity.
The process is designed to be very effective, allowing for faster assembly and reduced downtime. This is particularly beneficial in industries where time factors are critical.
The importance cannot be understated, the joint integrity is vital in any applications where bolt joints are used . Uncontrolled or inconsistent tightening can lead to joint failure, resulting in leaks & equipment damage. Patriot International and our clients can ensure that the assemblies are safe, reliable and durable, significantly reducing the risk of costly repairs and/or downtime.
