Bolted flange joints are essential components for the design and operation of pressure vessels and piping. This one-day course provides a fundamental understanding of how to design bolted flange joints and predict their resulting behaviors. Practical examples and case studies are shared with a discussion of variables that can affect flange joints along with some remediation options.
Specifically, the course reviews the different flange types and facings used in pressure vessel and piping industries, along with the advantages and disadvantages of each. Participants will be introduced to the various ASME codes and standards applicable to flange design for pressure vessels and piping.
