TESTIMONIALS

The RT-Bolt System is our standard practice for BUD joints, six reorders to date. After unsuccessful attempts with UT, we needed a more suitable solution. Since implementing RT-Bolt, we have significantly reduced retightening requirements, mitigated significant financial risks, and greatly improved joint reliability.

Reliability Engineer, Citgo USA

Integrity Engineering Solutions joint analysis solved our issues. However, the combination of the RT bolts pre-load measuring capabilities along with 'IES’ joint analysis gave us confidence in the assembly that we had eliminated the risk of loss of joint integrity which we’d previously seen.

Reliability Engineer, Varanus Island, Australia.

"RT-BOLT has enabled us to assemble BUD joints accurately and efficiently while facilitating operational bolt stress measurement. This has helped optimize re-tightening intervals and track bolt load reduction over time, delivering precise and reliable results."

Lead Fixed Equipment & Welding Engineer, Humber Refinery UK

"RT-BOLT helped us resolve a chronic leak during the 2022 TAR by enabling precise bolt load monitoring, preventing flange deformation. Warren Brown and the IES team provided excellent support, making it a highly effective solution for the installation."

Fixed equipment Integrity Team Lead

"The RT-Bolts performed exceptionally. Unlike traditional elongation readings, RT-Bolt delivered repeatable measurements, minimizing scatter caused by dirt, grime, and surface conditions, while strain normalization simplified analysis, making them a very reliable and efficient solution."

PEG Director / Chief Engineer Fasteners.

"The team at IES provided exceptional support, guiding us through the setup of our first RT-Bolts and answering all our questions promptly. Their expertise made the experience seamless, and we highly recommend their service to the industry."

Lead Fixed Equipment, Humber Refinery UK

"The IES team, led by Warren Brown, provided excellent support with timely updates and detailed product information. Their assistance, combined with RT-Bolt's user-friendly design, made critical bolt load monitoring seamless and highly effective for our research project."
