Ultrasonic Extensometer

Overview

Ultrasonic measuring and recording of bolt stretch has long been used in applications for both pipelines and facilities where critical equipment requires documented and regular bolt stretch measuring to provide for maximum serviceability and uninterrupted service. As the number of these critical flanged joints increases, Fastorq is prepared and able to help you meet these challenges with greatly improved, state of the art ultrasonic equipment, written procedures, and highly trained, experienced personnel.

Applications

• Internal flanges exposed to extreme temperature changes
• Bolted connections faced with cyclical or unstable stress conditions
• Flanged drilling riser connections
• Flanged production riser connections
• Flanged connection where bolt load documentation provides necessary information to plan for maintenance.

Features & Benefits

• Provides measured values in lieu of calculated values
• Provides a method of directly qualifying assembly procedures and assemblers
• Provides a safer work environment in remote locations due to better understanding of equipment capabilities & service issues
• Provides for more succinct awareness of changes faced by bolted connections used in extreme environments.
• Helps develop understanding and therefore avoidance of environmental pressures which generate costly and unsatisfactory circumstances realized in the drilling and production of oil and gas.
• Integral part of a practical strategy for addressing bolted flange concerns through proactive documentation and maintenance scheduling.

Capabilities

• Provide for documented approach to maintenance planning for bolted flanges.
• Validate achieved bolt load values for developing a better understanding of realized stresses
• Measure changes in bolt load values allowing for a safer, realistic approach to addressing bolted connections used under cyclical stress
• Assure bolt integrity of riser connections
• Assure documented measuring of bolt load for flanges used in extreme situations
