Simultorc bolting process
Simultorc bolting process uses simultaneous tightening of opposing bolts. This allows you to close a joint evenly and in fewer steps. This results in significant time savings because the joint is sealed leak-free in fewer steps and in one go. This is because the Simultorc method loads the flange and gasket evenly and thus does not damage or deform them. With Simultorc, you close flanges more safely, in a fraction of the time and leak-free in a single operation.
Parallel joint closure
Simultorc is the most logical and reliable method to ensure that a flange is closed in parallel and therefore leak-free. The trick is in operating multiple torque wrenches simultaneously. Both our torque wrenches and pump systems are designed for this and can be used in any situation. Vertical flanges, upside down and hands free. Even under water.
Recommended by the ASME
The ASME recommends and even prefers the simultaneous use of multiple tools. The reason is simple: Simultorc works more accurately and closes flanges in parallel in a fraction of the time. The investment in better tools is usually recouped during the first stop.
ASME PCC-1-2013 (The use of the Simultorc™ type bolting system is recognized by ASME as the preferred method for flange connections.
ASME PCC-1-2013 (page 33): “The simultaneous use of multiple tools evenly distributed over a flange has been shown to give equal or even better tightening parity and parallel closure in less time than using a single tool in a cross pattern.”
Parallel joint closure
For extremely critical joints, it is advisable to combine Simultorc with mechanical tensioning: The HYTORC Nut, SmartSTUD or HYTORC Washer. These methods provide extreme control over the coefficient of friction, while eliminating injury from entrapment and damage from galling. In short: the ideal method. Unsurpassed safer, faster and more accurate.
