In the petrochemical industry maintenance is undertaken on installations by both plant owners and contractors. For both, we can provide bolting solutions to be able to work faster, safer and more accurately. With the HYTORC Washer and HYTORC Nut we guarantee that work can be done as least twice as fast, which means that more can be done with the same number of people. Hytorc Washer improves safety: No more finger entrapments caused by supporting reaction arms and/or use of impact wrenches. In any event, both parties would benefit from this, including financially.

The effect of temperature and pressure fluctuations also plays a role: For example, high breakloose torque is the result from heat corrosion. High breakloose torque is the pretext to thread and flange surface damage. Bolts then need to be replaced and flange surfaces must be mechanically reworked. Hytorc has time and cost saving solutions available and we would be happy to assist you in this regard.

Did you know that…

The use of a washer prevents damage to the flange surface, for instance, and its use is also recommended according to ASME PCC-1-2000 and VDI2230 guidelines? One of the causes is damage to the supporting surface of the nut in order to expand the distribution of the bolt force, thereby also reducing the risk of leaks. Tens of millions of euros are lost every year in raw materials caused by diffuse leakage. We recommend trying Hytorc Washer or one of the other solutions available from Hytorc. You can actually make money through bolting!
