Alongside the standard clamp type connector there has always been a need for a connector where either repeated assembly, operation by remote operated vehicles, or powered drive has favoured the use of single bolt type connectors.
Destec Engineering now have many years of experience supplying these single bolt connectors in a very wide range of sizes, materials and pressure ratings. By using the range of Destec's conical seal rings, the units are compact and cost effective, and have significant advantages where weight is a problem.
• Weight saving by using destec metal seal rings, sealing at a minimum diameter, and also using high strength heat-treated and tempered materials for the clamps.
• Materials selected are coated suitable for most environments including subsea.
• As these connectors are often remotely operated, the destec seal rings can either be permanently attached to one hub or may be removable or replaced by a remote operated tool.
• Drive to the single bolt connector can be manual, or use air, hydraulic or electric tightening devices.
• Destec can provide systems with all the necessary limit and safety controls for operation.
• Subsea connectors operated by remote operated vehicles are equipped with standard API torque receptacles and guides.
• Secondary sealing together with tappings for leakage monitoring. On subsea applications this would be provided with a stab connector.
• Multiple pipe connectors within one large single bolt clamp.
• The Destec GSB Single Bolt Clampset is a purpose designed unit
