Gaskets and Bolted Flange Connections

Containing fluids (liquids and gases) is essential to both safe and efficient process operation. Leaky systems can be costly as well as dangerous. The US EPA has set down regulations aimed at limiting emissions of volatile organic compounds (VOC) in pumps, compressors, valves, and flanged equipment. This training shows you how to achieve a good flanged connection as well as the essentials of studs, bolts and nuts. Selected as a Finalist for the 2004 Product of the Year Award by Plant Engineering Magazine.
