ADvMET (PTY) Ltd
Our Experience
We have many years of bolting experience in industries ranging from nuclear, power generation, oil & gas, wind turbines, sub-sea installations, automotive manufacture, heavy industry, mining & general manufacturing ~ we understand the importance of fastening bolted joints properly.
Why the smaller bolt sizes ?
Small bolts are easier to overtighten and damage.
​
The bolting industry, to a large degree, focuses on specialized tooling,
procedures & best practice for working with the larger fasteners.
​
For sizes greater than 3/4" (19mm), there are ample specialized tools such as bolt tensioners, hydraulic & electric torque tools etc.
​
There are no off-the-shelf bolt tensioning tools available for bolts smaller than 3/4" (19mm) and are usually made only on special request.
