CERTIFICATOIN DESCRIPTION

A FLANGED JOINT is one of many critical components of a pressurized system. Dependent upon the contents and pressure of the system, leakage or failure of a bolted joint can have potentially catastrophic consequences. To meet this challenge, every owner of pressure equipment should have a system in place to positively and actively manage the integrity of all flanged joints. 

The “BOLTING & FLANGE JOINT INTEGRITY SPECIALIST” certification scheme is designed to train and evaluate a Pressure Equipment Inspector’s ability to access, inspect, manage and develop flange joint management procedures in an effective manner during construction, commissioning and operational phases.

 Through our sceme and hands-on training, successful candidates will understand and demonstrate the principles and practices of safe bolted joint assembly and implementation of flange integrity systems as outlined in Appendix A of ASME PCC-1”Guidelines for Pressure Boundary Bolted Flange Joint Assembly” and EN 1591-4: ”Qualification of personnel competency in the assembly of the bolted connections of critical service pressurized system.”
