UK-based bolt tensioning specialist TensionPro has launched a new range of spring return hydraulic tensioners, optimised for topside applications in the offshore oil and gas industry.
Versatile and reliable for all bolting applications, and designed to suit ANSI, ASME and API flanges, the HTR series features a fast spring piston return, making these tools the ideal choice for tightening several bolts in multiple pass operations.
Powerful internal springs reset the tensioner piston, so it is always ready for the next operation – thus reducing operator fatigue and increasing the speed of tensioning. The tools include important safety features such as a maximum stroke indicator and an internal relief valve to prevent accidental piston overstroke. This eliminates unnecessary downtime spent replacing a seal.
The CE marked range operates at 1,500 bar and comes with a pressure test certificate, as well as detailed operating, maintenance and safety manuals. In addition, all HTR tensioners are available from stock and can be configured with single or twin ports – accompanied by standard pumps, hoses and fittings.
“These new HTR tools are an excellent addition to our standard tensioner range. We are very pleased with the design, which incorporates the best quality components and surface treatments available without impacting on customer cost – ensuring our positioning in the market,” explains Richard Outram, sales director at TensionPro.
