Gates use the latest torque & tensioning technology to deliver safe, reliable flange management solutions to ensure quality of mechanical completion. Flange joints often leak due to incorrect assembly and inaccurate bolt loads. Using hydraulic bolt torques
or tensioners, we provide controlled and optimum flange management services enhancing system integrity, safety and reducing costly unscheduled downtime.
Bolts are used to affix two
components so that they can resist tensile (pulling apart) and shearing (sliding apart) forces. After the nut has been turned onto the bolt, additional torque causes the nut to turn and stretch the bolt. When the bolt stretches
it becomes a solid spring that clamps the components together.
