Refineries are high-risk environments where improper bolting can lead to serious safety and environmental consequences. Flange connections, pressure systems, and process equipment all require accurate, controlled torque to maintain system integrity.
RAD Torque Systems tools are designed for use in safety-critical environments, including potentially explosive areas. Our spark-free pneumatic torque wrenches allow operators to apply precise torque exactly where it’s needed—reducing the risk of leaks, failures, and equipment damage.
By eliminating excessive vibration and impact forces, RAD Torque Systems tools also help protect workers from injury, including long-term risks such as Hand-Arm Vibration Syndrome (HAVS). This results in safer working conditions and more consistent maintenance practices across refinery operations.
There is no margin for error during refinery maintenance—especially during shutdowns and turnarounds, where timelines are tight and delays are costly.
RAD Torque Systems tools help crews complete bolting work efficiently and correctly the first time. With torque accuracy of +/-5%, operators can achieve proper flange connections across piping systems, valves, pumps, and pressure equipment—reducing rework and preventing leaks.
RAD East supports refinery operations across Eastern and Atlantic Canada with:
This allows teams to scale quickly, stay on schedule, and complete maintenance safely and efficiently.
While RAD Torque Systems tools are used in refineries around the world, successful maintenance depends on having the right support in place locally.
RAD East Torque Systems provides refinery operations across Eastern and Atlantic Canada with access to torque tools, calibration services, and application support when and where it’s needed. Whether preparing for a scheduled turnaround or supporting ongoing maintenance, our team helps ensure refinery crews are equipped to perform critical bolting work safely and efficiently.
“I’ve been working with RAD for over 20 years. They have always strived to make the best tools for our application. They have worked with us to build dozens of new tools over the years for all the new applications we find to apply torque to the everchanging fleets of our customers.”
