For those struggling with pipe welding construction, here is a solution introduction.

We have received positive feedback that, due to the ability to carry out construction in bad weather and any situation, we can prevent delays in the project and reduce the waiting time for workers.

The "LOKRING joint" is a fitting that can be installed in any weather and under any circumstances, preventing construction delays and reducing worker waiting time, which has received positive feedback. Since it is installed using a dedicated hydraulic tool without the use of open flames, it is not affected by rain or wind. There are even cases of it being used underwater. When piping is adjacent to walls, ceilings, or floors, the dedicated tool for the "LOKRING joint" is U-shaped, allowing easy access from any direction without moving the pipes, even in tight spaces. This is particularly effective when it is in contact with the main pipe, such as in steam tracing piping. Installation can be done even when fluid is flowing. For example, when repairing downstream piping, the upstream stop valve is closed, but sometimes debris on the valve seat can cause a seat leak, resulting in a small amount of fluid flow. The "LOKRING joint" can be installed even if there is some leakage from the joint or piping, as long as it can be secured to the piping. *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.*

Utilized in major oil refineries, chemical plants, and (thermal/nuclear) power plants! Construction time is less than 1/10, allowing for shortened construction periods and cost reductions.

Generally, pipe welding within a plant requires welding permit applications, draining of pipes, flushing and drying, installation of leak detectors, securing and scheduling of welding personnel, and other tasks that are time-consuming and costly. Additionally, the installation and dismantling of scaffolding, installation of ventilation equipment, fireproofing, and installation of fire extinguishing equipment are necessary, which can make rapid repairs difficult. The "LOKRING fitting" does not use fire, requires no preparation or procedures before and after installation, and can be easily and quickly installed by anyone after just a few hours of training, allowing for significant reductions in construction time and overall installation costs. For inquiries, we will introduce case photos and videos. Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Introduction】 ■ No use of fire: No need for fireproofing, eliminating the risk of fire and explosion ■ Installation time is about 1/10 of welding: Shortened construction period ■ Usable for repairs of existing corroded pipes ■ Simple and quick installation: Minimizes equipment downtime ■ Permanent connection: No maintenance or repairs needed after installation ■ No equipment, facilities, or procedures required for welding ■ No need for purging or cleaning of pipes ■ U-shaped dedicated tool: Allows for pipe installation in narrow spaces

Anyone can easily and quickly perform reliable construction equivalent to welding, contributing to quality improvement and maintenance.

The "LOKRING fitting" is a joint that anyone can easily and quickly install at a level equivalent to welding. Therefore, it can solve the problem of "the lack of successors in an era where the inheritance of technology is not progressing as hoped, leading to a decline in technical skills (quality)." Since it does not require heating work, it is also expected to reduce the accident rate related to OSHA. For those who inquire, we will provide an introduction including videos. Please feel free to contact us. 【Benefits of Implementation】 ■ No equipment, facilities, or procedures required for welding ■ Installation time is about 1/10 that of welding: shortened construction period ■ Can also be used for repairs of existing corroded pipes ■ Simple and quick installation: minimizes equipment downtime ■ Permanent connection: no maintenance or repairs needed after installation ■ No need for pipe purging or cleaning ■ U-shaped dedicated tool: allows pipe installation in narrow spaces ■ No use of fire: no need for protective measures, eliminating the risk of fire or explosion *For more details, please download the PDF or contact us.

Welding uses fire, so safety is a concern. We provide peace of mind and address such worries.

The "LOKRING fitting" is a fitting that reduces fire risk and enhances safety because it does not use open flames. Since there is no heating work involved, it leads to a decrease in the incidence of accidents related to the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA). We have also received positive feedback for eliminating all costs associated with welding. For those inquiring, we will provide an introduction including videos.

Crittec Industries Co., Ltd. published a newspaper advertisement (black and white, full-page 15 columns) for the bridge expansion device "Hybrid Joint" in the February 26, 2026 issue of the Sankei Shimbun Tohoku 6 Prefectures edition. In Japan, the number of bridges over 50 years old is rapidly increasing, making the longevity of bridges a critical issue. The expansion devices, which are considered a cause of bridge damage, require high water-tightness and long-term durability. Our expansion device "Hybrid Joint" offers multiple types tailored to different bridge types and conditions. Among them, the "Hybrid Joint 3LII type" has demonstrated a durability of 100 years in fatigue loading tests conducted by a third-party organization. It has successfully passed 12 million cycles of repeated loading at a maximum load of 260 kN, confirming performance equivalent to a 100-year design service life for bridges. We have numerous delivery records in the six Tohoku prefectures and can accommodate a wide range of bridge types, including steel and PC bridges. The special website linked to the advertisement allows for the review of detailed materials and inquiries or requests for documents. Please make use of it for comparing and considering bridge renewal and repair plans. Crittec Industries will continue to contribute to the longevity of bridges nationwide, starting with the Tohoku region.
