Product technical specificationsTechnical Specifications
Ex-Proof: ATEX Certified Hydraulic Flange Spreader Devices
In industrial facilities—especially in environments where explosive gases, vapors, or flammable dust are present—safe operating equipment is of critical importance. All equipment used in such hazardous areas must comply with the ATEX Directives set by the European Union. Hydraulic flange spreaders with Ex-proof (explosion-proof, spark-free) features and ATEX certification are among the equipment that meet these requirements and offer safe working conditions.
15 Ton Capacity Ex-Proof Flange Spreader
The Match HSW15TEX flange spreading tool generates a separation force of 15.5 tons under 700 bar pressure. This force is sufficient to separate the flange connections of standard natural gas and oil pipelines. This model—defined as a Mini Kit or Single Kit—does not include a hydraulic hand pump. The shipment content includes only the spreader head, safety block, extension wedges, and safety strap. It is compatible with any 700 bar hydraulic hand pump. However, the use of the original pump is strongly recommended. The version that includes a hydraulic hand pump is defined as the Standard Kit.
Applications of Hydraulic Flange Spreaders
Hydraulic flange spreading tools are used during the initial installation, commissioning, and maintenance of oil and gas pipelines. Thanks to its Ex-proof feature, the Match HSW15TEX is designed for safe use in natural gas environments where explosion or ignition risks exist. These tools are commonly used in hazardous work environments such as natural gas, petroleum, chemical plants, and refineries.

Suitability for Hazardous Areas
- ATEX Certification: Indicates that the device is suitable for use in classified hazardous zones such as Zone 1 and Zone 2. This is particularly critical in industries like petrochemical, refining, natural gas plants, and paint manufacturing facilities.
- Ex-Proof Design: The device is designed to prevent internal electrical or mechanical components from interacting with the surrounding explosive atmosphere. All hydraulic components are engineered to isolate potential sources of sparks or overheating.
- High Performance & Durability: Designed to operate under high pressure, these flange spreaders are made from corrosion-resistant materials such as stainless steel, ensuring long-lasting use even under harsh environmental conditions.
- Ease of Use & Safety: These systems are designed with operator safety in mind, enabling controlled flange separation and simplifying maintenance or repair operations.
- Hydraulic Power Advantage: Compared to mechanical spreaders, hydraulic systems offer greater force, making them effective even on large-diameter or tightly sealed flanges.
Advantages of Hydraulic Flange Spreaders
Hydraulic flange spreaders generate a high level of separation force, which is not achievable with mechanical devices or manual effort. Thanks to this powerful force, flange maintenance operations become both safer and easier.
Disadvantages of traditional flange assembly and maintenance methods:
- Pose safety risks to workers
- Require more labor and time
- Increase labor costs
- Extend repair durations
- Delay the commissioning of the facility
Benefits of using hydraulic flange spreaders:
- Maximizes safety for both workers and equipment
- Reduces workforce requirements while increasing productivity
- Minimizes costs by reducing labor needs
- Speeds up assembly and maintenance processes
- Allows for faster commissioning of the facility
