Corrosion, erosion protection & earthquake resistance

Bolt caps have been used in mining application to provide bolted connections with protection against corrosion and erosion.

Currently new versions are undergoing test to ASTM D 113/117 that will combine anticorrosive properties in addition to the passive fire protection capability. Furthermore to enhance performance envelope bolt caps are to be earthquake testing in QTR 3 2021.

The hard wearing and versatile technology of the bolt cap has allowed a new application to be developed.

Bolt caps have been used in mining application to provide bolted connections with protection against corrosion and erosion in a very harsh environment.

The bolt cap has successfully undergone assessment and certification by the Steel Construction Institute who are at the forefront of steel fabrication standards.

Bolt caps have passed the stringent requirements to be used to protection bolted connections in pharmaceutical and semi conductor plants where demanding surface cleanliness and volatile emission standards apply.

The range of bolt caps has been considerably extended and recently introduced there are now bolt caps to suit Tension Control Bolts (TCB’s), Anchors for LNG vessels, Sized masking inserts to enhance productivity in addition to the enhanced size range and custom shapes.

A new service has been introduced developing custom solutions to difficult issues such as slip joints in structures. If you have a problem that needs solving contact us and see if a custom solution can be designed to provide an answer for you.
