Hydraulic Fixed Flange Alignment Tool
- The Flange Alignment tools can align or re-align flange joints during pipework construction, commissioning, or routine maintenance.
- The tool is attached to the flange joint where misalignment is most significant, then pushes and pulls the flanges into the correct alignment (except for ZSFA-9TE).
- The Flange Alignment tools quickly, safely, and without an external power source rectify twist and rotational misalignment.
- Appropriate for use on most ANSI, API, BS, and DIN flanges.
- No slings, hooks, or lifting gear is required.
- It can be installed and used in any position (horizontally or vertically).
- Portable, lightweight design enables easy transport and use, even in remote locations.
