Challenge

Hiap Seng provides pipe line maintenance services for Shell at their Pulau Bukom oil and petrochemical production facility. Removing corroded or frozen nuts is a common challenge when performing pipe maintenance. A frequent approach for removing corroded nuts included a chisel and hammer, flogging, or gas torch; however these methods often damage the flange face, bolt or gasket and take 15 to 30 minutes per nut.

Solution

Enerpac has provided Hiap Seng with a NC-Series hydraulic nut cutter to save time and safely remove nuts without damaging the bolt, flange or gasket. The NC-Series nut cutter is an efficient tool for removing corroded nuts. Powered by a hydraulic hand pump, the nut cutter advances a blade which can cut a nut off a bolt in less than 2 minutes.
