Eliminating risk and saving time – our proposed range of specialist equipment and technical support will not only saveyou time and money, but also improve safety and help increase reliability of your plant.
➢ Hydraulic Torque Wrenches Our range of hydraulic torque wrenches (formerly RSL wrenches) have been developed to provide tailored solutions to any bolting problem – ideal for make-up and break-out of bolted
joints. With options of interchangeable heads or dedicated square drive and low profile hexagon cassettes, all products offer reliable light-weight yet powerful performance.
➢ Hydraulicn Tensioners Bolt tensioning is an accurate and time saving method for tightening bolts and studs in all industries. Hydratight, through creative design and utilising the most advanced engineering, has developed a wide range of hydraulic bolt tensioners, which provide a solution to topside, and subsea, bolting problems.
➢ Portable Machining Tools
The machining tools (formerly DL Ricci brand) offer portable machining solutions from pipe cutting and bevelling, to stud removal and thread refurbishment, portable boring, grinding, milling, end-prepping and journal turning. Hydratight also offers custom engineered machines for unique applications.
➢ Speciality Tensioners
Whether it’s for use specifically for the wind energy market, or a design necessary to fit into tight working spaces, we offer a selection of specially designed tensioners for specific applications. Micro-, multi-stud, slimline, or self-contained tensioners (SCT) are only a few of the options available.

➢ Engineering
With state-of-the-art design software based on 3D modelling packages and engineering capabilities located in five different countries, M3 Engineering Services through the OEM (Hydratight) will be able to produce tailor-made solutions for complex joint related problems.
On-line Safety Valve Testing Services
M3 Engineering Services is able to test the response pressure of safety relief valves under normal conditions. This TÜV-approved computerised test system does not require any increase of operating pressure and eliminates the cost of unnecessary valve removal and replacement. Our state-of-the-art technology provides assurance that safety systems are in good working order and meets safety requirements of verifying operation at production pressures.
➢ Safety Valve Testing Process
The difference between operating and nominal response pressure is simulated by a pulling force in a special procedure. Applying this test procedure, no increase of the operating pressure is required. This method is applicable to all manufacturers and nominal diameters of spring-loaded full-stroke or proportional safety relief valves.
➢ Advantages:
Test procedure applicable for all sizes
- TÜV approved certification for all tested valves
- Enables testing of response pressures without increasing the operational pressure
- Avoids down-time and labour costs associated with valve removal / replacement
- Eliminates costs for transport of the valves, avoids transport damage
- Efficient management of test data including settings and results
- Reduces costs
- Suitable for gas, steam, condensate and water
