Load-Bearing Reliability
Key Applications of Fastening in the
Oil and Gas Sector
Offshore Platform Structural Assembly
Offshore oil and gas platforms require fastening solutions that can endure harsh marine environments, high winds, saltwater corrosion, and dynamic loading. Structural integrity is critical to safety and operational uptime.
Recommended Fastener Types :
-
Stainless Steel and Exotic Alloy Fasteners – resist saltwater corrosion.
-
Blind Rivets – for single-side access in structural sections.
-
Rivet Nuts – add durable threads in tubular and thin-wall sections.
-
Anti-Loosening Fasteners – maintain joint integrity under vibration.
Pressure Vessel and Pipeline Assembly
Pressure vessels, pipelines, and storage tanks in oil and chemical plants operate under high pressures and require leak-free, durable fastening. Fasteners must maintain clamping force despite thermal cycling and vibration.
Recommended Fastener Types:
-
High-Strength Bolts and Nuts – maintain pressure-rated connections.
-
Anti-Loosening Fasteners – prevent loosening from vibration and temperature changes.
-
Exotic Fasteners – corrosion-resistant alloys for sour gas and chemical exposure.
Refinery Equipment and Skid Packaging
Chemical and oil refineries use modular skid-mounted equipment with pumps, heat exchangers, and instrumentation. Fasteners must ensure reliable assembly, facilitate maintenance, and withstand process fluid exposure.
Recommended Fastener Types:
-
Rivet Nuts – provide strong threads in thin skid frames.
-
Welded Fasteners – create permanent studs and mounting points.
-
High-Strength Bolts and Nuts – maintain pressure-rated connections.
-
Exotic Fasteners – corrosion-resistant alloys for sour gas and chemical exposure.
Storage Tank and Containment Systems
Storage tanks for crude oil, refined fuels, or chemicals require fastening solutions that maintain seal integrity while resisting corrosion from contents and environmental exposure.
Recommended Fastener Types:
-
Blind Rivets – enable secure assembly of tank panels from one side.
-
High-Strength Bolts and Nuts – maintain pressure-rated connections.
-
Stainless Steel bolt & Nut – resist corrosion in outdoor, marine, or chemical exposure.
-
Exotic Fasteners – for highly corrosive or acidic stored materials.
Valve and Instrumentation Mounting
Accurate process control depends on securely mounted valves, gauges, and instruments. Fasteners must resist vibration, maintain precise positioning, and endure chemical splashes or washdowns.
Recommended Fastener Types:
-
Self-Clinching Fasteners – create strong, flush-mount threads in enclosures.
-
Rivet Nuts – add threads in thin control panels.
-
Anti-Loosening Screws – maintain tightness despite vibration.
-
Brass Inserts – for corrosion-resistant, conductive threads in plastic housings.
