Bolts and nuts used on nuclear plant flanges are designed to withstand the most demanding conditions, where safety, reliability, and long-term performance are critical. These fasteners ensure secure and leak-proof flange connections under high pressure, high temperature, and radiation-resistant environments commonly found in nuclear facilities.
To achieve the highest precision and durability, nuclear-grade bolts and nuts are manufactured from premium alloy steels and stainless steels that meet international standards such as ASTM, ASME, and DIN. Their robust mechanical properties guarantee consistent performance, even under continuous stress and thermal cycling.
For enhanced safety and efficiency, hydraulic nuts are widely applied in nuclear plant flange connections. They provide uniform clamping force, precise tightening, and simplified installation or removal, reducing downtime and minimizing the risk of leakage. This makes them an ideal solution for maintaining the integrity and operational reliability of nuclear plant flanges.
By combining advanced fastening technology with rigorous quality control, bolts and nuts for nuclear plant applications support safe operations, extend service life, and ensure compliance with the strict regulatory requirements of the nuclear industry.
