The Evolution of
Always a few Revolutions ahead!TM

1972

Industry has trusted HYTORC for over 30 years. When

HYTORC introduced the Anti-backlash pawl for
Hydraulic Torque Tools back in 1975, industry realized its
benefit over 3-moving part tools. Independent tests prove
the point.

1989

HYTORC takes just 9 strokes as compared to 24 strokes

required by 3-moving part tools to reach the desired torque,
apart from eliminating forward/backward turning of loose nuts
as well as tool holding on vertical applications and pre-stall.

Today, HYTORC takes the next giant leap,

drastically improving tool efficiency, bolting
precision, speed and safety. HYTORC present its
21st Century Tool Line.

Inventor of every single major Improvement
in Hydraulic Torque Tools in over 30 years!

Regular applications: Faster, less error-prone

and safer torquing with the latest tool
technology
Time-critical applications: Stretch-to-load speed
by merely adding a Washer, - safer and more
precise than all hydraulic torque or tension
Highly critical joints: Stretch-to-calibrated-load
within + 5% by merely replacing the nut. End
all leaks, joint- and nut failure once and
forever!

necessary.
Dial-in the desired Torque on

Until Now...

you had to
screw on, spaghetti-chain, pull,
hand-torque, depressurize, unscrew,
(and if you wanted a reliable joint)

measure and do it all over again!

It's all about tight bolted Joints!

History
Most leaks are created when incorrect bolt load is applied to
the joint. When 100 failing gaskets were researched and
categorized for cause of leak, incorrect bolt loading was the
main cause with 81% of them falling into that category.
The nut retains the bolt load. Nut seating in torque and tension
is subject to two unknowns. Torque to the bearing face and the
thread friction, tension to the estimated overstretch and the
manual nut-seating. While hydraulic torque has an accuracy of
+ 3%, manual nut seating in tensioning depends on the
inaccuracies and the unknowns relating to the human factor,
the application, the field working conditions, the bolts and nuts
used, their tolerances, their perpendicularity and their friction.
The introduction of jackscrew tensioners was a way in the right
direction. It, however, turns each nut into a critical bolted joint,
requiring multiple passes and the measurement of the gap
between the nut and the washer to assure parallelism to avoid a
constant bolt bending force.

Recommended Accuracy
The officially preferred bolt stretch tolerance
for critical joints is within + 10%!
But such precision was not obtainable until now
unless you measured and adjusted!

Engineering certified
HYTORC invented the Future: Stretch-to-Load
Technology with the economical DISC washer.
Independently tested by the Wood Group,
Lloyd and BASF to meet the required
precision for all critical bolted Joints. Best
of all, it works with your Standard

an inexpensive Washer underneath the Nut!

The HYTORC-DISC is a washer with an inner
thread-segment that connects with the bolt thread.
The tool that turns the nut holds the DISC
stationary. This creates a counter-nut effect that stops
the bolt from turning. Further nut turning results in
an axial bolt elongation, which makes the threadsegment move axially in the inside of the washer.
The known bearing face friction between the nut
and the HYTORC-DISC and the lack of side load
provide an unprecedented bolt load accuracy of +
10% with less torque and no joint-surface damage.
Hands-free bolting is accomplished by connecting
the tool to the HYTORC-DISC.
The HYTORC-DISC meets ASTM-A194-01 and
ASME-SA194-01 specifications.

a mechanical Precision Tension Nut.

The HYTORC-CLAMP is the first hydraulically
actuated tensioner that permits accurate bolt load
setting without diverting to torque or pulling force.
The HYTORC-CLAMP consists of a washer and a
nut connected to an inner sleeve that is connected to
the bolt end.
When the inner sleeve is held stationary by the tool
that turns the nut, the inner sleeve is pulled up along
with the bolt, - torsion- and side load free.
As the nut turns on the washer and the inner sleevethread at a known coefficient of friction, the residual
bolt load or pre-load can be calibrated in a traceable
way with an unprecedented accuracy of + 5%.
The HYTORC-CLAMP is ISO, TUV and Pressure
