UH550 Surface Manual Torque Tool

 

 

Flow bases fitted with the UH-550 Unitech Stab Connectors that are torqued up to 2000Nm need to be operated to verify the function and break the connector prior to its subsea deployment.

 

TMT's solution is to use a Norbar HT 5/25 Torque Multiplier that is fitted with a Class 1 - 4, API 1D/6A compliant nose cone that is offered up to the UH-550 connector. A manual torque wrench is fitted to the drive socket of the HT 5/25 torque multiplier and using a ratio of 25:1 a known torque can then be applied to the UH-550 connector up to a maximum of 2700Nm.

 

Verification can be achieved using the Torque Verification Unit.
