Hydraulic Stud and Bolt Tensioner

At ABS, we design hydraulic stud tensioners to meet rigorous standards both offshore and onshore. Our designs focus on ANSI, ASME, and API flanged joints— ensuring compatibility across a wide range of applications.

Built specifically for the demanding environments of Saudi Arabia’s oil, gas, petrochemical industries, and power generation facilities; these top-side bolt tensioners require no additional units for reaction force management.

They also greatly reduce installation time while providing exceptional load accuracy— all without relying on lubricants (which can sometimes complicate matters).

Key Advantages

  • Superior Accuracy & Speed
    Hydraulic tensioning eliminates frictional effects and delivers pre‑load tolerances of ±5% or better by applying load to all bolts simultaneously— ensuring fully uniform joint compression.
  • Quick Top-Side Setup
    Split‑span, hand-installed units allow fast assembly and hook-up (even on overhead or hard-to-reach pipework).
  • Wide Load Range
    Available in 228 kN to 4,650 kN formats with pressures up to 1,500 bar— capable of covering almost any bolting requirement from small ANSI clamped joints to large API pressure-class flanges.
  • Enhanced Operator Safety
    No reaction arms or pinch-points are used creating safer cleaner work zones even in tight spots or hazardous environments.

Built for Gulf Conditions
Nickel-plated tensioners stand up to hot humid salt-laden air. Stroke-limit indicators stop you from overriding the seal surfaces helping service life and reliability.

 

Why Gulf Industries Trust ABS

EPC contractors national oil companies and plant operators all over the Gulf choose ABS tensioners for bolting integrity that meets specifications from Saudi Aramco SABIC and Gulf power plants.

Calibration happens at ABS facilities– where tools also receive ISO 17025 traceable validation. Key components such as stroke limit indicators spit reaction nuts plus interchangeable bridges help ensure full traceability along with audit compliance too.
