BridgeFlow™ MTE System — Not a Torque Wrench. A Flange Integrity Platform.
Patented Mechanical Torque Equalization technology that simultaneously tightens all flange bolts in a single stroke, achieving uniform preload through resistance-based equilibrium — without operator skill dependency.
Resistance-Based Torque Equilibrium
BridgeFlow™ MTE uses mechanical synchronization to route torque toward the loosest bolt first — automatically redistributing load until all bolts reach equilibrium. No operator judgment required.
Position System
Place BridgeFlow™ MTE around the flange. Compatible with ASME B16.5 — zero flange modification.
Encircle & Align
System encircles the pipe. Driving heads automatically align to each bolt position.
Dynamic Redistribution
Single input engages all bolts simultaneously. Torque flows to the loosest bolt first until equilibrium.
Verified Integrity
All bolts reach uniform preload in one stroke. Digital version records final torque per head.
Engineered around flange behavior
Every specification is derived from flange physics — not just bolt tightening. The result is a system that achieves what sequential methods cannot: true uniform preload.
