Tips: What is a hydraulic flange spreader?
A hydraulic flange spreader is a specialized tool used in industrial settings to separate flanges. Flanges are connecting devices that join pipes, valves, or other components in a fluid system. They are typically bolted together to ensure a secure and leak-proof connection.
A hydraulic flange spreader consists of two spreading jaws connected by a hydraulic pump and cylinder system. The jaws are inserted between the flanges, and hydraulic pressure is applied to gradually separate them. This spreading action allows for easy access to the flange for maintenance, repair, or replacement tasks without the need for disassembling the entire system.
The hydraulic flange spreader is designed to exert precise and controlled force, ensuring safety and preventing damage to the flange or surrounding equipment. It is commonly used in industries such as oil and gas, petrochemicals, power generation, and shipbuilding, where flange connections are prevalent. The tool's efficiency and reliability make it a valuable asset in various maintenance and construction operations.
