Extreme Temperature Hydraulic Nut

What is an Extreme Temperature Hydraulic Nut?

An extreme temperature hydraulic nut is a specialized type of hydraulic nut designed to operate efficiently under high temperature conditions up to 550 degrees celsius. HTI offers EziTite® hydraulic nuts that can withstand extreme temperatures beyond what our high temperature hydraulic nuts can.

Hydraulic nuts are tools used to apply a precise amount of tension to bolted joints. They work by using hydraulic pressure to apply a force to the nut, which in turn stretches the bolt to the desired tension. This method allows for accurate and repeatable loading of the bolt, which is crucial in applications where the integrity of the bolted joint is critical.

Extreme Temperature Hydraulic Nut Capabilities

What makes a hydraulic nut extreme temperature capable is its design and materials, which are selected to withstand the elevated temperatures found in certain industrial applications, such as power plants, oil refineries, and chemical processing plants.

These conditions can degrade standard materials and components, so hydraulic nuts for extreme temperatures are made with materials like high-grade stainless steel or alloys that maintain their strength, durability, and operational integrity at temperatures significantly higher than what standard hydraulic nuts can withstand.
