Offshore Energy 2016 in Amsterdam: RS Randack as exhibitor
October 2016
In October 2016, RS Randack exhibited at Offshore Energy in Amsterdam, the trade fair for oil, gas and offshore energy. The focus was on stud bolts and special fasteners for flanges, drilling equipment and platforms: parts that withstand pressure, salt water and cold, with values confirmed by an inspection body.
B7 and L7 stud bolts with certification
Stud bolts with 8UN threads in ASTM A193 B7 and A320 L7 with heavy hex nuts, with anti-friction coating and low-temperature Charpy impact verification on request: this is the standard flange connection in oil and gas. RS Randack manufactures them with rolled threads and tests tensile strength, hardness and impact energy in its own materials laboratory; see American threads UN, UNC and UNR.
What offshore operators ask
Which materials for seawater and sour gas service, which coating for 1,000 hours of salt spray, which tests at −46 °C and below, and how quickly replacements arrive during a shutdown. Today, the answers are on our Oil and gas, offshore page; the AD 2000 W0, Bureau Veritas and DNV approvals are on the Quality page.
