The seminar will highlight some of the problems associated with the design, selection, assembly and maintenance of bolted flanged joints in pressure systems; providing information on developments in gasket technology, and the recent developments in EN 1591 for design procedures.
Consideration of the important issues in the assembly of bolted joints and the main methods of controlled tightening will be addressed, and common errors in both assembly and tightening will be highlighted.
