"Misalignment of flange joints often occurs when pipes are separated for testing, routine maintenance or during shutdowns. The misalignment may also occur during the construction phase, when new pipe is being installed," says Enerpac. "Earlier methods of flange manipulation could be hazardous and time-consuming because they required a lot of manual lifting. They could also damage the flange bolt holes. Enerpac's new alignment tools are safer, easy to use, and can be employed on many popular flange sizes," says Enerpac, which distributes globally a broad range of professional, non-impact bolting technologies.
