Hi-Force STU series sub-sea bolt tensioners are designed and manufactured to suit the demanding requirements of divers operating in harsh sub-sea environments. With an easy to operate two piece design comprising of a quick fit/release threaded puller and a hydraulic load cell with integral bridge and an extra long 30 mm piston stroke to reduce re-setting operations, Hi-Force STU series sub-sea bolt tensioners offer a consistent, reliable and cost effective method of tensioning sub-sea bolted joints. All hydraulic load cells are suitable for different thread sizes and interchangeable quick fit/release pullers can be ordered separately, as required, resulting in even greater flexibility and cost savings.

  • Capacities from 256 to 2482 kN
  • Bolt sizes M24 to M90 diameter
  • Working pressure 1500 bar
  • Single acting design with manual piston retraction
  • High grade alloy steel construction
  • Simple two piece design for easy operation by divers subsea
  • Visible maximum piston stroke indicator
  • Dual quick connect couplings for easy connection
  • Designed to fit most sizes of ANSI and API flanges and some Compact flanges
  • Interchangeable quick fit pullers to cover secondary bolt sizes for each STU model
