BOILER WEIGHING & SUPPORT ROD ALLIGNMENT OVERVIEW

Our concerns with Our Customer are:

·     To Prevent tube leaks

·     To Prevent header sag

·     To Prevent hanger failure

·     To Prevent boiler collapse

 

Are your boiler support rods carrying the Load they were originally intended to carry? Most likely not.

The fact is, while boiler support rods are originally designed to carry a specified load, those specifications can, over time, degrade.

The result? High stress concentrations which can lead to permanently deformed headers and an increased chance of tube weld cracking.

B&D Bolting, tooling and methods are able to measure the weight of individual rods to determine the supported loads at each location as well as a combined component load. Using a multiple tooling setup, B&D Bolting is then able to hydraulically balance and properly distribute the load according to the original boiler design.

Have you already experienced failure? B&D Bolting can help. We have the tools to lift headers and tube components that have fallen or swayed out of position, allowing for timely repair.
