Phil Industries’ Take: Torque Multiplier Applications We See in Singapore

Phil Industries supplies Mountz torque multipliers to Singapore shipyards, petrochemical plants in Jurong Island, and heavy industrial maintenance teams across the island. The application we see most often is flange bolt torquing on pressure vessels and piping — environments where fasteners are specified at 800–2,500 Nm and hand torquing is physically impossible. In these contexts, the gear ratio accuracy of the multiplier matters as much as the output torque value, since under-torqued flanges are a process safety risk.

A question we frequently get is whether torque multipliers require their own calibration certificate. The answer is yes — the multiplier introduces its own gear ratio tolerance (typically ±4%), so the output torque must be verified independently. We can arrange calibration of the complete torque wrench-plus-multiplier assembly at our Ubi facility.
