Hydraulic Flange Spreading Wedges SWI-15
The Innovative Range of Flange Spreading Wedges have been developed to assist in the spreading of all flange joint types with a minimum access gap of 6 mm. The tools can be used during pipework construction, commissioning or during routine maintenance.
- Integrated wedge concept: friction-free, smooth, parallel wedge movement eliminates flange damage and spreading arm failure
- Unique interlocking wedge design: no first step bending and risk of slipping out of joint
- Horizontally or vertically according to the working
- Stepped spreader arm design: each step can spread under full load
- Few moving parts mean durability and low maintenance
| Maximum spreading force | 15 ton |
| Tip clearance | 6 mm |
| Maximum spread with step block | up to 120 mm |
| Weight | 8.2 kg |
The kit includes a safety block. According to custom orders, it is equipped with step block and/or a safety rope.
Flange Spreader Technology
Flange spreading process is starting with 90° angle. Spreading-pushing force is applied directly to the flange surface and allows the opening of the flange without contraction. Sealing is never damaged.
