Self contained tensioner eases pressure

摘要

The remarkable Biach SCT tensioner from Hydratight brings greater safety, reduced manpower and shorter downtime to a critical task.rnThe advanced reactor pressure vessel stud tensioner, the SCT, is a unique self-contained unit -needing only a power source, but no hydraulic connections or remote pump-control unit or operator.rnIn live tests, the SCT has reduced typical tensioning time from up to four hours to under an hour, with 40 per cent less manpower -meaning lower potential RAD exposure time and greatly-reduced reactor downtime.
