The QF technology consists of a hydraulic tool enabling a flange-to-pipe connection without the use of heat or any other potential ignition sources. The QF method gives a pressure tight and mechanically strong connection, and is a direct alternative to a welded connection. Our equipment is rented out on a day-rate basis, and the actual operation of the equipment is carried out by QF-certified personnel from the oil companies´ MMO suppliers. The idea was conceived in 2003, and Quickflange has developed the technology from the idea to a commercial product through  co-operation with Statoil ASA (LUP program) and Innovation Norway.

The first QF-connection offshore in Norway was delivered to the Gullfaks platform in 2005, installed by personnel from Aker Kvaerner Offshore Partner.

Quickflange AS is established with headquarters in Tananger outside of Stavanger. The branch office in Tvedestrand is our technology center, handling production and assembly of hydraulic tools, logistics and QHSE, as well as development of new technology .

Quickflange has established Quickflange UK Limited. The UK office is situated in Dyce, just outside Aberdeen.
