CTST | Topside Tensioner
Standard tensioners for all applications
The CTST is a standard topside tensioner. Topside meaning that it is only use above ground and not underwater.
This is the most basic tensioner in our range, and can be modified for most applications and go up to very high loads, and is perfect for bigger bolts.
They can be modified by changing out load cells and conversion kits, so you do not have to keep purchasing a brand-new tool each time.
Reliable Seals
Proven seal technology ensures 1000's of toll pressure cycles.
Piston Stroke
15mm piston/ram stroke capability on models CTST02-06
Versatile
Detachable and Interchangeable bridge component
Thread insert
Contains a matching female thread to the bolt being tensioned.
Hydraulic connections
User-configurable quick-release connections.
Nut Rotating Socket (NRS)
Fits around the bolted joint nut to allow for easy rotation.
Thread insert / Puller
Load Cell
Bridge
Nut Rotating Sockets
Did you know?
You can use a load cell with multiple conversion kits (threaded insert, bridge piece, nut rotating sockets).
This saves on cost, as you can reuse a piece of the tool for multiple jobs potentially.
There are many applications suitable for topside tensioners, as they can be used across several different industries including wind and oil & gas. Likely if you can use a CTST topside tensioner, then you will be able to use an Airbac tensioner and potentially even a hydraulic nut depending on the stud.
Suitable applications:
Pipe Line Flanges
Pipe Line Flange Clamps
Turbines
LDPE Flanges
Valves
Heat Exchangers
Repair Clamps
Tee Pieces
