HTL Group launches new range of torque calibration rigs

Controlled bolting, flange working and portable machine equipment specialists HTL Group is looking to enhance operator safety and minimise downtime through the launch of a new range of torque calibration rigs.

With the equipment in place, employers operating within various industrial sectors will be able to significantly reduce the chance of incorrect measurements and tool inaccuracies occurring at their workplaces — issues which can result in hazardous consequences, including risk to personnel safety.

The new torque calibration rigs allow clients to take full control of their own in-house calibration. Created using premium quality materials and a highly safe design, HTL Group’s torque calibration rigs introduces a new tier to the company’s Premier range.

To ensure the wellbeing of the operator, the enclosure of the equipment is made up of:

  • Norbar torque measurement equipment.
  • An interlocked safety canopy.
  • A robust and heavy-duty modular frame.
  • A lockable pump cupboard.
  • Safety interlocks.
  • An integrated control panel.
  • An electric pump.
  • A precision gauge.
  • An emergency stop mechanism.

Commenting further on the new torque calibration rigs, Mike Johnson, the group director of engineering at HTL Group, acknowledged: "The reality of accurate calibration is that it’s a necessity for industry but it mustn’t come at the expense of project downtime.

"The new range of torque calibration rigs bring to market a fully integrated piece of equipment incorporating unique safety features. The ability to calibrate tools to a planned schedule effectively contributes to reducing downtime, allowing client projects to run as planned."

The launch of the new range of torque calibration rigs comes soon after HTL Group introduced HTL Pro-Tect — a specialist coating that’s formulated to extend the life of structures and assembly found within both topside and subsea environments — showcasing the company’s constant desire to expand and innovate.
