Mechanical Joint Integrity

This course provides comprehensive training on the critical procedures required to achieve and maintain mechanical joint integrity in high-pressure industrial and petroleum piping systems. Participants will learn proper flange alignment techniques, gasket selection and inspection criteria, and the correct application of bolt lubrication. The curriculum emphasizes controlled tightening methodologies—including calibrated torque wrench operation and hydraulic tensioning—alongside systematic inspection protocols to eliminate fugitive emissions and prevent catastrophic loss-of-containment incidents.
