ASME Code-Stamped Closures

Code stamping of Tube Turns Hinged Closures is available on request
at a nominal extra cost. This includes (1) the furnishing of a Partial
Data Sheet verifying shop inspection of the unit by a commissioned
inspector of the National Board of Boiler and Pressure Vessel
Inspectors, and (2) the affixing of the ASME stamp.

 DOUBLE BOLT YOKE CLOSURES
Pressure Warning Device With Yoke Positioning Plate
Double Bolt Yoke Closures are equipped with 2 pressure warning devices on
each closure. The Pressure Warning Device with yoke positioning plate
provides visual and mechanical assurance that the yokes are in the correct
position over the head for commencement of operations. Additionally, the
pressure warning device serves the purpose of alerting the operator to any
residual pressure in the vessel should the operator inadvertently attempt
to open the closure before all pressure has been relieved. A pressure
warning device is located at each of the yoke splits with one of the
positioning lugs attached to each yoke half. Tightening the holding nut
on the nipple provides a seal and locks the hinged positioning plate on the positioning lugs.
Loosening the holding nut breaks the seal and provides a means by which the operator can
determine whether the vessel has been completely relieved of internal pressure. Continued
loosening of the holding nut will allow the disengagement of the positioning plate from the
positioning lugs, permitting the yoke halves to be spread and the closure to be opened.

Safety Locking Device

An additional feature that can be added to the Yoke Style Closure is the Safety Locking
Device. This device is intended to prevent opening of the closure under pressure. It
consists of a cylinder/piston connected to the interior of the closure and a latch plate.
Whenever there is pressure inside the closure the piston is extended and engages
the latch plate. This prevents opening of the closure under pressure. When the
pressure has been reduced, the piston retracts, allowing the closure to be opened.
This is a closed system and does not release it’s contents to the atmosphere.

Operating Aids
Tube Turns furnishes a variety of operating aids to speed and simplify the opening and
closing of Yoke Type Closures. These range from simple,
break-over wrenches, to chain-and-sprocket drives, to
fully automated models. Attached break-over
wrenches are available. These are attached directly
to the bolts and eliminate the need for a wrench.
Examples are on Page 21. The Chain and
Sprocket Drive option is by far the most
economical opening assist device we
offer. This is a manually operated aid which
assists in the opening and closing of the yoke
bolts. These units not only make the process
faster, they also prevent the uneven
movement of the yokes which may
cause binding. On larger closures,
ratio reduction is available to further
ease the force required to turn the
unit. Hand wheels can also be Double Bolt Yoke Closure with Chain & Sprocket Drive.
furnished which provides faster operation and
eliminates the need for additional tools. The basic pattern of the Tube Turns’ Chain and Sprocket Drives follows the basic principal of the
familiar bicycle chain and sprocket arrangement. Same size sprockets are attached to longer than standard yoke bolts. Positioned around
the sprockets is a linked belt or chain. For safety precautions, a chain and sprocket guard is furnished. A lever or crank is fitted to one of
the sprockets which, when turned, rotates both yoke bolts simultaneously. This device can be modified by changing the ratio of the
sprockets to increase the speed and ease of opening the yoke bolts. Tube Turns can further automate their yoke style closures by
designing opening and closing devices which are either electrically, pneumatically or hydraulically operated. These devices cannot only
be designed to open and close the yoke bolts, but they can also raise and lower the head for vertical applications.

In addition to this flexibility, our Automated Yoke Style Closures
have other advantages.
1. SAFETY- Automation provides a tight seal which prevents
leakage and exposure of the operators to fumes and the medium
which is potentially hazardous to their health. To prevent Pneumatic Operated Automated Closures are

significantly. The very fact that in most instances the closure

badly skinned knuckles that too often occur with the use of
flanges.

4. MAINTENANCE - Since operation is simple, direct and
positive, Tube Turns’ Automated Closures require little or no
maintenance other than replacement of the O-ring and periodic
inspection of yoke bolts and nuts for wear. The human element is
virtually eliminated in that the automation mechanism of the
closure performs all the work.

All dimensions are in inches. When ordering, please specify type, nominal size, bore, material and service conditions. NOTE: Type H Double Bolt Horizontal model closure is
normally installed with hinge at the left when viewed facing the closure. If hinge location is desired in other than left position, this information should be made available at
time of order. Otherwise opening, closing and maintaining correct yoke gap are problems that can result. Tube Turns Hinged Closures are regularly furnished in carbon
steel; however, closures are also available in high yield strength steels. Closures are also available in other metals and alloys and in other sizes and pressure classes on
special order. Chain-and-Sprocket Drives are available at extra cost (see page 8). Attached Break-Over Wrenches are available at extra cost (see page 21). For Pressure-
Temperature Ratings, see page 7.
