Split Casing Bolting

900 PSIG/925° F steam

•45,000 psi bolt stress

•installed: (10) H1050T-250s, (6) H1050T-275s, and (8) H1050T-300s


Problem: Traditional methods of bolting, such as stud heaters and hammer wrenching, are inaccurate and often jeopardize employee safety.

Previous to the installation of Superbolt® Torquenuts, this application was not only time consuming to bolt, but dangerous.

close up of tensionersSolution: Superbolt has taken great steps in increasing the safety of employees while providing fast and effective ways of bolting. Our multi-jackbolt design makes installation quick and safe, only requiring simple hand tools to reach desired torque. The awkward, overhead position of these studs proved to be ideal for the use of Superbolt® products. Complete tensioning time was only 6 hours!

Estimated time savings this turnaround = 2 days!
