Metalock Brasil, a leading specialist in Industrial maintenance and component restoration, has successfully removed a damaged nut from the cover of the V-203 A/B pressure vessel at a petrochemical company. The service required high technical precision and innovative solutions to preserve the integrity of the equipment.

The expert team at Metalock Brasil faced the challenge of extracting a nut that had already undergone previous unsuccessful removal attempts, including grinding and oxy-fuel cutting. The process involved preparation, strategic adjustments and the application of a device for stress relief.

The operation was successfully completed, ensuring the nut’s removal without compromising the structure of the pressure vessel. During the final inspection, damage to the stud thread was identified due to previous cutting attempts.

With yet another successful project, Metalock Brasil reaffirms its commitment to excellence in industrial maintenance, providing effective technical solutions for its clients.
