A civil engineering company conducting a pipeline bolting contract was in need of better practices to improve their production times. When they had a situation requiring a hi torque bolting solution they investigated all avenues before deciding on hydraulic wrenches to carry out their task.

They researched hand tools, torque multipliers and pneumatic wrenches before deciding the hydraulic wrenches with an electric power pack running from a generator would be the most suitable. This was due to the ease of running the hydraulics as against air tools on a remote site as well as the compact size with the high torque to size ratio offered by these tools.

They have proven themselves so well that additional units were purchased to further improve the speed and flange alignment by using several of them at a time on each flange.

FAQs
  • What is Torque?

    Torque is a “turning” or “twisting” force and differs from tension, which is created by a straight pull. However, we use torque to create a tension.

  • How does Torque Work?

    As the nut and bolt are tightened, the two plates are clamped together. The thread angle in the bolt converts the force applied into tension (or stretch) in the bolt shank. The amount of the tension created in the bolt is critical.

  • Why Use Torque Products?

    A bolt tensioned properly works at its optimum efficiency and will resist coming undone. However, if the tension is too low, the nut could vibrate or work loose. If the tension is too high (overstretched), the bolt could break. Every bolt has a correct optimum torque/tension figure for each fastening application. It is important to have these figures available so that the end product will be safe, efficient and economical.

  • How to Measure Torque?

    Torque is the result of multiplying the value of Force applied by the Distance from the point of application.
