Fast, Quality Turnkey Solutions

JT THORPE stud welding utilizes computer controlled inverters to produce a repeatable, constant amperage arc weld. This means that every anchor is welded the exact same way nearly eliminating pickups to less than 1%. By replacing traditional boiler studs with nutted v-anchors with a single piece v-anchor stud, JT THORPE offers improved strength and faster installation rates for v-anchor up to and including 5/16” diameter. The single piece v-anchors test at >90,000 psi during overhead pull testing, well above the minimum 30,000 psi required for the weld.
