In the present study, the structural safety of the bolt portion and collet tool structure of the pipe-fitting tool is analyzed by using the finite element technique. Two forces as piston forces with the magnitude of 187.5 Tons are applied to the inner and outer portions of the collet tool, respectively. A structural load of 750 Tons is applied to the bolt portion. In the analysis results, it is found that the structure becomes safe under the current loading conditions. The reliability rating of
