When matched with a FORUM supplied torque tool control manifold, it can provide precise feedback on torque response of any subsea operation.

These can alternatively be utilized by connecting a FORUM Universal Subsea Display, which would give a visual read-out of live torque feedback and/or turns counter. USD sold separately.

The tool conforms to the ISO 13628-8 Fig 18 Class 1-4 bucket interface used extensively in the subsea industry for valve overrides operated by ROV. The tool has latching wings allowing the tool to hold on to the interface.

The latching wings are hydraulically driven forward and spring retracted. Thus in the case of a loss of hydraulic power the wings will release.

The tool uses a high specification drive mo- tor for consistent torque output characteristics, even if used with direct hydraulic pressure control without the feedback sensor. The motor shares casing oil with the gearbox therefore avoiding the need for a separate compensator.

Note that for applying torques less than 108Nm (80 ft lbs) the class 1&2 tool is recommended.
